Crystal Structure of the C-terminal Domain of S. cerevisiae eIF5Crystal Structure of the C-terminal Domain of S. cerevisiae eIF5
Structural highlights
2ful is a 6 chain structure with sequence from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
IF5_YEAST Catalyzes the hydrolysis of GTP bound to the 40S ribosomal initiation complex (40S.mRNA.Met-tRNA[F].eIF-2.GTP) with the subsequent joining of a 60S ribosomal subunit resulting in the release of eIF-2 and the guanine nucleotide. The subsequent joining of a 60S ribosomal subunit results in the formation of a functional 80S initiation complex (80S.mRNA.Met-tRNA[F]). eIF-5 is essential for cell viability.[1]
