Abstract excerpt
Translation initiation is down-regulated in eukaryotes by phosphorylation of the alpha-subunit of eIF2 (eukaryotic initiation factor 2), which inhibits its guanine nucleotide exchange factor, eIF2B. The N-terminal S1 domain of phosphorylated eIF2alpha interacts with a subcomplex of eIF2B formed by the three regulatory subunits alpha/GCN3, beta/GCD7, and delta/GCD2, blocking the GDP-GTP exchange activity of the...
