Template:STRUCTURE 4b43

Bacterial translation initiation factor IF2 (1-363), apo form, double mutant K86L H130A

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).
