| Description | The beta subunit of archaeal and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (IF2beta) and the N-terminal domain of translation initiation factor 5 (IF5) show significant sequence homology [ ]. Archaeal IF2beta contains two independent structural domains: an N-terminal mixed alpha/beta core domain (topological similarity to the common core of ribosomal proteins L23 and L15e), and a C-terminal domain consisting of a zinc-binding C4 finger []. Archaeal IF2beta is a ribosome-dependent GTPase that stimulates the binding of initiator Met-tRNA(i)(Met) to the ribosomes, even in the absence of other factors []. The C-terminal domain of eukaryotic IF5 is involved in the formation of the multi-factor complex (MFC), an important intermediate for the 43S pre-initiation complex assembly. IF5 interacts directly with IF1, IF2beta and IF3c, which together with IF2-bound Met-tRNA(i)(Met) form the MFC [].This entry represents both the N-terminal and zinc-binding domains of IF2, as well as a domain in IF5. |
