Function EF-P, a ubiquitous bacterial protein that is required for the synthesis of poly-proline motifs during translation, is a translation elongation factor that is necessary for pathogenicity. Activated EF-P binds at polyproline-stalled ribosomes and stimulates Pro-Pro peptide bond formation, thereby alleviating translational arrest.

Protein Glycosylation- Implication This modification activates EF-P and is crucial for bacterial fitness (key role in gene expression and survival) as well as pathogenicity. It is the first instance where a glycosylated side chain of a translation elongation factor is shown as essential for function.
Glycan Information
Glycan Annotation Cyclic rhamnose moiety
Protein Glycosylation linked (PGL) gene(s)
Characterized Accessory Gene(s)EarP rhamnosyltransferase uses dTDP-L-rhamnose as a substrate.
Additional CommentIt is the first report of N-linked protein glycosylation on arginine in bacteria.
Both EF-P and corresponding EarP are essential for pathogenicity. This forms the basis for targeted-inhibitor design against P. aeruginosa infection.
Glycosyltransferase EarP attaches a cyclic rhamnose moiety onto EF-P at the amine position of its highly conserved R34 residue.
