We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.
4b44
From Proteopedia
Bacterial translation initiation factor IF2 (1-363), complex with GDP at pH6.5
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).
About this Structure
4b44 is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Thermus thermophilus hb8. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
