Abstract excerpt
Protein synthesis factor eIF2 delivers initiator tRNA to the ribosome. Two proteins regulate its G-protein cycle: eIF5 has both GTPase-accelerating protein (GAP) and GDP dissociation inhibitor (GDI) functions, and eIF2B is the guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF). In this study, we used protein-protein interaction and nucleotide exchange assays to monitor the kinetics of eIF2 release from the eIF2•GDP/eIF5...
