UniProt functional annotation for P04766



	UniProt functional annotation for P04766

UniProt code: P04766.

Organism: Geobacillus stearothermophilus (Bacillus stearothermophilus).

Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Geobacillus.

Function: One of the essential components for the initiation of protein synthesis. Protects formylmethionyl-tRNA from spontaneous hydrolysis and promotes its binding to the 30S ribosomal subunits. Also involved in the hydrolysis of GTP during the formation of the 70S ribosomal complex.

Subcellular location: Cytoplasm.

Similarity: Belongs to the TRAFAC class translation factor GTPase superfamily. Classic translation factor GTPase family. IF-2 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
