Bacterial translation initiation factor IF2 (1-363), complex with GTP
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 23695237
Function
[IF2_THET8] 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 (By similarity).
