Initiation factor 2 of Myxococcus xanthus, a large version of prokaryotic translation initiation factor 2.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jan 2001

Tiennault-Desbordes E, Cenatiempo Y, Laalami S

Abstract excerpt

We have isolated the structural gene for translation initiation factor IF2 (infB) from the myxobacterium Myxococcus xanthus. The gene (3.22 kb) encodes a 1,070-residue protein showing extensive homology within its G domain and C terminus to the equivalent regions of IF2 from Escherichia coli. The protein cross-reacts with antibodies raised against E. coli IF2 and was able to complement an E. coli infB mutant. The...
