Abstract

Data about possible participation of the eukaryotic elongation factors in the organization and regulation of microtubular and microfilament networks of cellular cytoskeleton are reviewed. Potential role of the factors to coordinate protein syntesis and polymerization/depolymerization of cytoskeleton under different cellular conditions is suggested.
