Eukaryotic Initiation Factor 2 (eIF2) is an eukaryotic initiation factor.It is required for most forms of eukaryotic translation initiation. eIF2 mediates the binding of tRNA i Met to the ribosome in a GTP-dependent manner. eIF2 is a heterotrimer consisting of an alpha (also called subunit 1, EIF2S1), a beta (subunit 2, EIF2S2), and a gamma (subunit 3, EIF2S3) subunit.
CA 27.29 is a tumor marker for breast cancer. [1] It is a form of glycoprotein MUC1. [2] References This page was last edited on 4 ... CA 27-29. 2 languages ...
The prokaryotic initiation factor, IF3, assists with start site specificity, as well as mRNA binding. [2] [3] This is in comparison with the eukaryotic initiation factor, eIF1, who also performs these functions. The elF1 structure is similar to the C-terminal domain of IF3, as they each contain a five-stranded beta sheet against two alpha ...
After the initiation complex is formed the 60s subunit joins and eIF2 along with most of the initiation factors dissociate from the complex allowing the 60S subunit to bind. eIF1A and eIF5B-GTP remain bound to one another in the A site and must be hydrolyzed to be released and properly initiate elongation.

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2-alpha kinase 3, also known as protein kinase R (PKR)-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK), is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the EIF2AK3 gene. [5] [6] [7] [8]
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 functions in the early steps of protein synthesis by forming a ternary complex with GTP and initiator tRNA and binding to a 40S ribosomal subunit. eIF2 is composed of three subunits, alpha (α), beta (β, this article), and gamma (γ), with the protein encoded by this gene representing the beta subunit.
Regulation of translation initiation via phosphorylation of Ser51 in eIF2's α-subunit. [1] eIF-2-alpha kinase is a kinase enzyme that phosphorylates eIF2α. There are four forms in mammals: [2] EIF2AK1: heme-regulated inhibitor kinase ; EIF2AK2: the double-stranded RNA-dependent kinase (protein kinase R, PKR)
The 43S preinitiation complex (43S PIC) is a ribonucleoprotein complex that exists during an early step of eukaryotic translation initiation. The 43S PIC contains the small ribosomal subunit (40S) bound by the initiation factors eIF1, eIF1A, eIF3, and the eIF2-Met-tRNA i Met-GTP ternary complex (eIF2-TC). [1] [2] [3] [4]
