TRANSLATION INITIATION FACTOR 3 C-TERMINAL DOMAIN
Overview
The structures of the two domains of translational initiation factor IF3 from Bacillus stearothermophilus have been solved by X-ray crystallography using single wavelength anomalous scattering and multiwavelength anomalous diffraction. Each of the two domains has an alpha/beta topology, with an exposed beta-sheet that is reminiscent of several ribosomal and other RNA binding proteins. An alpha-helix that protrudes out from the body of the N-terminal domain towards the C-terminal domain suggests that IF3 consists of two RNA binding domains connected by an alpha-helix and that it may bridge two regions of the ribosome. This represents the first high resolution structural information on a translational initiation factor.
About this Structure
1TIG is a Single protein structure of sequence from Geobacillus stearothermophilus. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
Reference
X-ray crystallography shows that translational initiation factor IF3 consists of two compact alpha/beta domains linked by an alpha-helix., Biou V, Shu F, Ramakrishnan V, EMBO J. 1995 Aug 15;14(16):4056-64. PMID:7664745
