Anti-TUFM

TUFM, also named as Elongation factor Tu, mitochondrial, is a 452 amino acid protein, which contains 1 tr-type G (guanine nucleotide-binding) domain and belongs to the TRAFAC class translation factor GTPase superfamily. TUFM localizes in the Mitochondrion and promotes the GTP-dependent binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the A-site of ribosomes during protein biosynthesis. Protein function: Promotes the GTP-dependent binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the A-site of ribosomes during protein biosynthesis. Plays also a role in the regulation of autophagy and innate immunity. Recruits ATG5-ATG12 and NLRX1 at mitochondria and serves as a checkpoint of the RIG-I/DDX58-MAVS pathway. In turn, inhibits RLR-mediated type I interferon while promoting autophagy.
