Abstract excerpt
The family of eukaryotic initiation factor 2alpha (eIF2alpha) protein kinases plays an important role in regulating cellular protein synthesis under stress conditions. The mammalian kinases PKR and HRI and the yeast kinase GCN2 specifically phosphorylate Ser-51 on the alpha subunit of the translation initiation factor eIF2. By using an in vivo assay in yeast, the substrate specificity of these three eIF2alpha...
