Novel mechanisms of eIF2B action and regulation by eIF2alpha phoshorylation

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF2) is a heterotrimeric G-protein that plays a critical role in protein synthesis regulation. eIF2-GTP binds Met-tRNAi to form the eIF2-GTP:Met-tRNAi ternary complex (TC), that is recruited to the 40S ribosomal subunit. Following GTP hydrolysis, eIF2-GDP...
