Multiple mRNAs encode the murine translation initiation factor eIF-4E.
All eukaryotic cellular mRNAs (except organellar) possess at their 5' end the structure m7GpppX (where X is any nucleotide) termed the "cap." The cap structure facilitates the melting of mRNA 5' secondary structure through the action of initiation factor-4F (eIF-4F) in conjunction with eIF-4B. eIF-4F consists of three subunits of which one, eIF-4E (eIF-4E has recently been designated eIF-4 alph...
متن کاملTranslational repression mediates activation of nuclear factor kappa B by phosphorylated translation initiation factor 2.
Numerous stressful conditions activate kinases that phosphorylate the alpha subunit of translation initiation factor 2 (eIF2alpha), thus attenuating mRNA translation and activating a gene expression program known as the integrated stress response. It has been noted that conditions associated with eIF2alpha phosphorylation, notably accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (...
متن کاملRibosomal initiation complex-driven changes in the stability and dynamics of initiation factor 2 regulate the fidelity of translation initiation.
Joining of the large, 50S, ribosomal subunit to the small, 30S, ribosomal subunit initiation complex (IC) during bacterial translation initiation is catalyzed by the initiation factor (IF) IF2. Because the rate of subunit joining is coupled to the IF, transfer RNA (tRNA), and mRNA codon compositions of the 30S IC, the subunit joining reaction functions as a kinetic checkpoint that regulates the...
متن کاملRibosomal localization of translation initiation factor IF2.
Bacterial translation initiation factor IF2 is a GTP-binding protein that catalyzes binding of initiator fMet-tRNA in the ribosomal P site. The topographical localization of IF2 on the ribosomal subunits, a prerequisite for understanding the mechanism of initiation complex formation, has remained elusive. Here, we present a model for the positioning of IF2 in the 70S initiation complex as deter...
متن کاملPlant initiation factor 3 subunit composition resembles mammalian initiation factor 3 and has a novel subunit.
Eukaryotic initiation factor 3 (eIF3) is a multisubunit complex that is required for binding of mRNA to 40 S ribosomal subunits, stabilization of ternary complex binding to 40 S subunits, and dissociation of 40 and 60 S subunits. These functions and the complex nature of eIF3 suggest multiple interactions with many components of the translational machinery. Recently, the subunits of mammalian a...
