Abstract excerpt
The eukaryotic 43S preinitiation complex (PIC) bearing Met-tRNAiMet in a ternary complex (TC) with eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF)2-GTP scans the mRNA leader for an AUG codon in favorable "Kozak" context. AUG recognition provokes rearrangement from an open PIC conformation with TC bound in a state not fully engaged with the P site ("POUT") to a closed, arrested conformation with TC tightly bound in the "PIN"...
