- WB ID
- WBGene00010094
- Description
- F55C5.5 encodes a translational elongation factor Ts (EF-Ts) that binds two different EF-Tu proteins (EF-TU1/Y71H2AM.23 and EF-TU2/C43E11.4) in vitro, stimulating guanine-nucleotide exchange and mRNA translation; F55C5.5 is predicted to be mitochondrial and has a putative N-terminal transit peptide sequence; F55C5.5 is required in mass RNAi assays for normally rapid growth and for maintenance of the germline.
