Members of this family of nucleic acid binding domains are predominantly found in elongation factor P, where they adopt an OB-fold, with five beta-strands forming a beta-barrel in a Greek-key topology [1].

Elongation factor P (EF-P) alleviates stalling of protein translation at polyproline sites. EF-P (and its archaeal and eukaryotic homologs) are post-translationally modified, on a critical lysine or arginine residue, in different ways in different lineages. Residues are modified with beta-lysine, rhamnose, 5-aminopentanol, or hypusine. The trusted cutoff of this model is set high enough to exclude members of TIGR02178, the EFP-like protein YeiP found in certain Gammaproteobacteria.
