Elongation factor 1 beta (EF1B) guanine nucleotide exchange domain. EF1B catalyzes the exchange of GDP bound to the G-protein, EF1A, for GTP, an important step in the elongation cycle of the protein biosynthesis. EF1A binds to and delivers the aminoacyl tRNA to the ribosome. The guanine nucleotide exchange domain of EF1B, which is the alpha subunit in yeast, is responsible for the catalysis of this exchange reaction.
