UniProt functional annotation for P09064



	UniProt functional annotation for P09064

UniProt code: P09064.

Organism: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast).

Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces.

Function: eIF-2 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.

Subunit: Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF-2) is a heterotrimer composed of an alpha, a beta and a gamma subunit. The factors eIF-1, eIF-2, eIF-3, TIF5/eIF-5 and methionyl-tRNAi form a multifactor complex (MFC) that may bind to the 40S ribosome. SUI3 interacts with GCD6 and TIF5/eIF-5. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10075937}.

Similarity: Belongs to the eIF-2-beta/eIF-5 family. {ECO:0000305}.
