Involved in peptide bond synthesis. Alleviates ribosome stalling that occurs when 3 or more consecutive Pro residues or the sequence PPG is present in a protein, possibly by augmenting the peptidyl transferase activity of the ribosome. Modification of Lys-34 is required for alleviation.
May be beta-lysylated on the epsilon-amino group of Lys-34 by the combined action of EpmA and EpmB, and then hydroxylated on the C5 position of the same residue by EpmC (if this protein is present). Lysylation is critical for the stimulatory effect of EF-P on peptide-bond formation. The lysylation moiety may extend toward the peptidyltransferase center and stabilize the terminal 3-CCA end of the tRNA. Hydroxylation of the C5 position on Lys-34 may allow additional potential stabilizing hydrogen-bond interactions with the P-tRNA.
Required for rescue of stalled ribosomes mediated by trans-translation. Binds to transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA), required for stable association of tmRNA with ribosomes. tmRNA and SmpB together mimic tRNA shape, replacing the anticodon stem-loop with SmpB. tmRNA is encoded by the ssrA gene; the 2 termini fold to resemble tRNA(Ala) and it encodes a 'tag peptide', a short internal open reading frame. During trans-translation Ala-aminoacylated tmRNA acts like a tRNA, entering the A-site of stalled ribosomes, displacing the stalled mRNA. The ribosome then switches to translate the ORF on the tmRNA; the nascent peptide is terminated with the 'tag peptide' encoded by the tmRNA and targeted for degradation. The ribosome is freed to recommence translation, which seems to be the essential function of trans-translation.
