From the eEF1A, the eukaryotic homologue of bacterial
elongation factor Tu, is a well characterized translation elongation
factor responsible for delivering aminoacyl-tRNAs to the A-site at the
ribosome. Here we show for the first time that eEF1A also associates
with the nascent chain distal to the peptidyltransferase center. This is demonstrated for a variety of nascent chains of different lengths and sequences. Interestingly, unlike other ribosome-associated factors,
eEF1A also interacts with polypeptides after their release from the
ribosome. We demonstrate that eEF1A does not bind to correctly folded
full-length proteins but interacts specifically with proteins that are
unable to fold correctly in a cytosolic environment. This association
was demonstrated both by photo-cross-linking and by a functional
refolding assay.
