Subunits

Subunits Comment Organism
heterotrimer aIF2 is composed of three subunits, alpha, bbeta, and gamma. The gamma subunit forms the core of the heterotrimer and contains the GTP-binding pocket. alpha and beta are bound to subunit gamma but do not interact together. The gamma subunit closely resembles elongation factor EF1A Saccharolobus solfataricus

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
additional information in its GTP-bound form, aIF2 specifically binds Met-tRNAi Met and brings it to the initiation complex. The enzyme is active in its GTP-bound form, the GDP-bound form loses affinity for Met-tRNAi Met and eventually dissociates from the initiation complex. With EF1A, productive binding of tRNA is GTP-dependent and related to the ON conformations of two regions of the G domain called switch 1 and switch 2. Structure of the ternary initiation complex aIF2-GDPNP-Met-tRNA, molecular dynamics simulations, overview. Analysis of the nucleotide-binding pocket of Ss-aIF2gamma. QM/MM free energy simulations of the catalytic reaction Saccharolobus solfataricus
physiological function archaeal translation initiation processes, like eukaryotic, involve a heterotrimeric GTPase aIF2 (eIF2) crucial for accuracy of start codon selection. Enzyme aIF2 is peculiar in that it functions on the small ribosomal subunit, whereas other translational GTPases bind the same region of the assembled ribosome in all species and likely use the sarcin-ricin loop in the large subunit for activation of GTP hydrolysis Saccharolobus solfataricus
