In the elongation step of eukaryotic protein biosynthesis, the eukaryotic elongation factor 1A (eEF1A) in its GTP-bound active state transports the aminoacyl tRNA (aatRNA) to the A site of the ribosome (Sasikumar et al. 2012). Correct codon–anticodon pairing induces hydrolysis of GTP to GDP, which results in a conformational change of eEF1A that causes its release from both the ribosome and aa-tRNA. The eukaryotic elongation factor 1B (eEF1B) complex containing 2–4 subunits helps to enhance the intrinsically slow (* 0.7 9 10-3/s) dissociation rate of GDP from eEF1A by approximately 3000-fold and results in GTP reloading and eEF1A reactivation (Janssen and Moller 1988). The eEF1B complex is comprised of one or two guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs)(EF1Ba exists in all eukaryotes, eEF1Bd exists only in metazoans, and eEF1Bb exists only in plants), a scaffold component named eEF1Bc, and a valine-tRNA synthetase (Val-RS) additionally in metazoans (Le Sourd et al. 2006). Because there is no structure of the eEF1B complex available, several models have been proposed to explain the assembly of the eEF1B complex in different species (Janssen et al. 1994; Sheu and Traugh 1997; Mansilla et al. 2002). The GEFs of the eEF1B complex are the catalytic components and each of them contain two regions (van Damme et al. 1990; Wu et al. 2015): a less conserved N-terminal region (Sanders et al. 1993) and a highly conserved C-terminal region which comprises a central acidic region, termed the CAR domain, and a C-terminal catalytic GEF domain. The N-terminal region is mainly responsible for interacting with eEF1Bc to facilitate assembly of the eEF1B complex. In the C-terminal region, the GEF domain is an essential catalytic domain, while the CAR domain is not essential for the exchange activity. However, it was found that the CAR domain may enhance the exchange activity and regulates the GEF activity (Perez et al. 1998; van Damme et al. 1991). The CAR domain contains the casein kinase 2 (CK2) phosphorylation site (Sheu and Traugh 1997) and has been shown to interact with translationally-controlled tumor protein (TCTP) which inhibits the nucleotide-exchange activity of eEF1Bd (Wu et al. 2015; Cans et al. 2003). Even though the GEF and CAR domains are highly conserved in eEF1Ba, eEF1Bb, and eEF1Bd, evidence suggests that the regulation of their
