Name Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit 1
Synonyms
  1. Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit alpha
  2. eIF-2-alpha
  3. eIF-2A
  4. eIF-2alpha
Gene Name EIF2S1
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Translation, ribosomal structure and biogenesis
Specific Function Functions in the early steps of protein synthesis by forming a ternary complex with GTP and initiator tRNA. This complex binds to a 40S ribosomal subunit, followed by mRNA binding to form a 43S preinitiation complex. Junction of the 60S ribosomal subunit to form the 80S initiation complex is preceded by hydrolysis of the GTP bound to eIF-2 and release of an eIF-2-GDP binary complex. In order for eIF-2 to recycle and catalyze another round of initiation, the GDP bound to eIF-2 must exchange with GTP by way of a reaction catalyzed by eIF-2B
