Figure 3

Homology model of EFL in complex with eEF1Bα. The homology model on EFL based on the structure of eEF1A in complex with eEF1Bα (red ribbon) is shown A) in cartoon form, B) as a surface, showing the exposed face when in complex with the ribosome, and C) as a surface showing the ribosome binding face. In all panels, turquoise coloring shows strongly differentially conserved sites as per the alignment in Figure 2, and blue parts of the structure show conserved insertions in EFL relative to eEF1A. Residues shown as turquoise sticks are those differentially conserved sites that in eEF1A interact with eEF1Bα.
