Abstract excerpt
To initiate protein synthesis, a ribosome with bound initiator methionyl-tRNA must be assembled at the start codon of an mRNA. This process requires the coordinated activities of three translation initiation factors (IF) in prokaryotes and at least 12 translation initiation factors in eukaryotes (eIF). The factors eIF1A and eIF5B from eukaryotes show extensive amino acid sequence similarity to the factors IF1 and...
