Peptide initiation factors from prokaryotic organisms. Only three factors are needed for translation initiation in prokaryotic organisms, which occurs by a far simpler process than in PEPTIDE CHAIN INITIATION, TRANSLATIONAL of eukaryotic organisms.
The smallest of the three prokaryotic initiation factors with a molecular size of approximately 8 kD. It binds near the A-site of the 30S subunit of RIBOSOMES and may play a role in preventing premature addition of aminoacyl-tRNA-linked PEPTIDE ELONGATION FACTOR TU to the ribosome during the initiation of a peptide chain (PEPTIDE CHAIN INITIATION, TRANSLATIONAL).
Protein factors uniquely required during the initiation phase of protein synthesis in GENETIC TRANSLATION.
A prokaryotic initiation factor that plays a role in recycling of ribosomal subunits for a new round of translational initiation. It binds to 16S RIBOSOMAL RNA and stimulates the dissociation of vacant 70S ribosomes. It may also be involved in the preferential binding of initiator tRNA to the 30S initiation complex.
The largest of the three prokaryotic initiation factors with a molecular size of approximately 80 kD. It functions in the transcription initiation process by promoting the binding of formylmethionine-tRNA to the P-site of the 30S ribosome and by preventing the incorrect binding of elongator tRNA to the translation initiation site.
Cells lacking a nuclear membrane so that the nuclear material is either scattered in the cytoplasm or collected in a nucleoid region.
Peptide initiation factors from eukaryotic organisms. Over twelve factors are involved in PEPTIDE CHAIN INITIATION, TRANSLATIONAL in eukaryotic cells. Many of these factors play a role in controlling the rate of MRNA TRANSLATION.
Eukaryotic initiation factor of protein synthesis. In higher eukaryotes the factor consists of three subunits: alpha, beta, and gamma. As initiation proceeds, eIF-2 forms a ternary complex with Met-tRNAi and GTP.
A peptide initiation factor that binds specifically to the 5' MRNA CAP STRUCTURE of MRNA in the CYTOPLASM. It is a component of the trimeric complex EIF4F.
A multisubunit eukaryotic initiation factor that contains at least 8 distinct polypeptides. It plays a role in recycling of ribosomal subunits to the site of transcription initiation by promoting the dissociation of non-translating ribosomal subunits. It also is involved in promoting the binding of a ternary complex of EUKARYOTIC INITIATION FACTOR-2; GTP; and INITIATOR TRNA to the 40S ribosomal subunit.
A process of GENETIC TRANSLATION whereby the formation of a peptide chain is started. It includes assembly of the RIBOSOME components, the MESSENGER RNA coding for the polypeptide to be made, INITIATOR TRNA, and PEPTIDE INITIATION FACTORS; and placement of the first amino acid in the peptide chain. The details and components of this process are unique for prokaryotic protein biosynthesis and eukaryotic protein biosynthesis.
A component of eukaryotic initiation factor-4F that is involved in multiple protein interactions at the site of translation initiation. Thus it may serve a role in bringing together various initiation factors at the site of translation initiation.
The biosynthesis of PEPTIDES and PROTEINS on RIBOSOMES, directed by MESSENGER RNA, via TRANSFER RNA that is charged with standard proteinogenic AMINO ACIDS.
A component of eukaryotic initiation factor 4F that as an RNA helicase involved in unwinding the secondary structure of the 5' UNTRANSLATED REGION of MRNA. The unwinding facilitates the binding of the 40S ribosomal subunit.
A trimeric peptide initiation factor complex that associates with the 5' MRNA cap structure of RNA (RNA CAPS) and plays an essential role in MRNA TRANSLATION. It is composed of EUKARYOTIC INITIATION FACTOR-4A; EUKARYOTIC INITIATION FACTOR-4E; and EUKARYOTIC INITIATION FACTOR-4G.
Multicomponent ribonucleoprotein structures found in the CYTOPLASM of all cells, and in MITOCHONDRIA, and PLASTIDS. They function in PROTEIN BIOSYNTHESIS via GENETIC TRANSLATION.
A eukaryotic initiation factor that binds to 40S ribosomal subunits. Although initially considered a "non-essential" factor for eukaryotic transcription initiation, eukaryotic initiation factor-1 is now thought to play an important role in localizing RIBOSOMES at the initiation codon of MRNA.
Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories.
A guanine nucleotide exchange factor that acts to restore EUKARYOTIC INITIATION FACTOR-2 to its GTP bound form.
A transfer RNA which is specific for carrying methionine to sites on the ribosomes. During initiation of protein synthesis, tRNA(f)Met in prokaryotic cells and tRNA(i)Met in eukaryotic cells binds to the start codon (CODON, INITIATOR).
Immature ERYTHROCYTES. In humans, these are ERYTHROID CELLS that have just undergone extrusion of their CELL NUCLEUS. They still contain some organelles that gradually decrease in number as the cells mature. RIBOSOMES are last to disappear. Certain staining techniques cause components of the ribosomes to precipitate into characteristic "reticulum" (not the same as the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM), hence the name reticulocytes.
Works containing information articles on subjects in every field of knowledge, usually arranged in alphabetical order, or a similar work limited to a special field or subject. (From The ALA Glossary of Library and Information Science, 1983)
The small ribonucleoprotein component of RIBOSOMES. It contains the MESSENGER RNA binding site and two TRANSFER RNA binding sites - one for the incoming AMINO ACYL TRNA (A site) and the other (P site) for the peptidyl tRNA carrying the elongating peptide chain.
A species of gram-positive bacteria in the family Clostridiaceae. Its glutamate mutase is commonly used in research.

In vitro study of two dominant inhibitory GTPase mutants of Escherichia coli translation initiation factor IF2. Direct evidence that GTP hydrolysis is necessary for factor recycling. (1/103)

We have recently shown that the Escherichia coli initiation factor 2 (IF2) G-domain mutants V400G and H448E do not support cell survival and have a strong negative effect on growth even in the presence of wild-type IF2. We have isolated both mutant proteins and performed an in vitro study of their main functions. The affinity of both mutant proteins for GTP is almost unchanged compared with wild-type IF2. However, the uncoupled GTPase activity of the V400G and H448E mutants is severely impaired, the Vmax values being 11- and 40-fold lower, respectively. Both mutant forms promoted fMet-tRNAfMet binding to 70 S ribosomes with similar efficiencies and were as sensitive to competitive inhibition by GDP as wild-type IF2. Formation of the first peptide bond, as measured by the puromycin reaction, was completely inhibited in the presence of the H448E mutant but still significant in the case of the V400G mutant. Sucrose density gradient centrifugation revealed that, in contrast to wild-type IF2, both mutant proteins stay blocked on the ribosome after formation of the 70 S initiation complex. This probably explains their dominant negative effect in vivo. Our results underline the importance of GTP hydrolysis for the recycling of IF2.  (+info)

Universal conservation in translation initiation revealed by human and archaeal homologs of bacterial translation initiation factor IF2. (2/103)

Binding of initiator methionyl-tRNA to ribosomes is catalyzed in prokaryotes by initiation factor (IF) IF2 and in eukaryotes by eIF2. The discovery of both IF2 and eIF2 homologs in yeast and archaea suggested that these microbes possess an evolutionarily intermediate protein synthesis apparatus. We describe the identification of a human IF2 homolog, and we demonstrate by using in vivo and in vitro assays that human IF2 functions as a translation factor. In addition, we show that archaea IF2 can substitute for its yeast homolog both in vivo and in vitro. We propose a universally conserved function for IF2 in facilitating the proper binding of initiator methionyl-tRNA to the ribosomal P site.  (+info)

Cloning and characterization of hIF2, a human homologue of bacterial translation initiation factor 2, and its interaction with HIV-1 matrix. (3/103)

The cDNA for a human homologue (hIF2) of bacterial (bIF2) and yeast (yIF2) translation initiation factor two (IF2) has been identified during a screen for proteins which interact with HIV-1 matrix. The hIF2 cDNA encodes a 1220-amino-acid protein with a predicted relative molecular mass of 139 kDa, though endogeneous hIF2 migrates anomalously on SDS/PAGE at 180 kDa. hIF2 has an extended N-terminus compared with its homologues, although its central GTP-binding domain and C-terminus are highly conserved, with 58% sequence identity with yIF2. We have confirmed that hIF2 is required for general translation in human cells by generation of a point mutation in the P-loop of the GTP-binding domain. This mutant protein behaves in a transdominant manner in transient transfections and leads to a significant decrease in the translation of a reporter gene. hIF2 interacts directly with HIV-1 matrix and Gag in vitro, and the protein complex can be immunoprecipitated from human cells. This interaction appears to block hIF2 function, since purified matrix protein inhibits translation in a reticulocyte lysate. hIF2 does not correspond to any of the previously characterized translation initiation factors identified in mammals, but its essential role in translation appears to have been conserved from bacteria to humans.  (+info)

The fMet-tRNA binding domain of translational initiation factor IF2: role and environment of its two Cys residues. (4/103)

Mutations of the cysteines (positions 668 and 714) were generated in the IF2 C domain of Bacillus stearothermophilus translation initiation factor IF2. The corresponding proteins were characterized functionally and structurally. Most (yet not all) amino acid replacements at both positions resulted in severe reduction of the fMet-tRNA binding activity of IF2 C without grossly altering its structure. Our work demonstrates that: (a) both Cys residues are buried within an hydrophobic core and not accessible to protonation or chemical substitution, (b) neither Cys is functionally essential and (c) both Cys residues are located near the active site, probably without participating directly in fMet-tRNA binding.  (+info)

Identification of Enterobacteriaceae by partial sequencing of the gene encoding translation initiation factor 2. (5/103)

Nucleotide sequence analysis is increasingly being used to identify bacteria. In this work, a PCR assay based on degenerate primers was used to obtain the partial sequence of infB, the gene encoding translation initiation factor 2 (IF2), in 39 clinical isolates of different Enterobacteriaceae. The partial sequence encodes the GTP-binding domain of IF2. Together with sequences from the literature, a total of 15 species, each represented by one to seven strains, was investigated. Phylogenetic analysis yielded an evolutionary tree which had a topology similar to a tree constructed using available 16S rRNA sequences. It is concluded that the inter-species variation of the infB gene fragment is sufficient for its use in the characterization of strains that have aberrant phenotypic reactions.  (+info)

Chaperone properties of bacterial elongation factor EF-G and initiation factor IF2. (6/103)

Elongation factor G(EF-G) and initiation factor 2 (IF2) are involved in the translocation of ribosomes on mRNA and in the binding of initiator tRNA to the 30 S ribosomal subunit, respectively. Here we report that the Escherichia coli EF-G and IF2 interact with unfolded and denatured proteins, as do molecular chaperones that are involved in protein folding and protein renaturation after stress. EF-G and IF2 promote the functional folding of citrate synthase and alpha-glucosidase after urea denaturation. They prevent the aggregation of citrate synthase under heat shock conditions, and they form stable complexes with unfolded proteins such as reduced carboxymethyl alpha-lactalbumin. Furthermore, the EF-G and IF2-dependent renaturations of citrate synthase are stimulated by GTP, and the GTPase activity of EF-G and IF2 is stimulated by the permanently unfolded protein, reduced carboxymethyl alpha-lactalbumin. The concentrations at which these chaperone-like functions occur are lower than the cellular concentrations of EF-G and IF2. These results suggest that EF-G and IF2, in addition to their role in translation, might be implicated in protein folding and protection from stress.  (+info)

The C-terminal subdomain (IF2 C-2) contains the entire fMet-tRNA binding site of initiation factor IF2. (7/103)

Previous protein unfolding studies had suggested that IF2 C, the 24. 5-kDa fMet-tRNA binding domain of Bacillus stearothermophilus translation initiation factor IF2, may consist of two subdomains. In the present work, the four Phe residues of IF2 C (positions 531, 599, 657, and 721) were replaced with Trp, yielding four variant proteins having intrinsic fluorescence markers in different positions of the molecule. Comparison of the circular dichroism and Trp fluorescence changes induced by increasing concentrations of guanidine hydrochloride demonstrated that IF2 C indeed consists of two subdomains: the more stable N-terminal (IF2 C-1) subdomain containing Trp-599, and the less stable C-terminal (IF2 C-2) subdomain containing Trp-721. Isolated subdomain IF2 C-2, which consists of just 110 amino acids (from Glu-632 to Ala-741), was found to bind fMet-tRNA with the same specificity and affinity as native IF2 or IF2 C-domain. Trimming IF2 C-2 from both N and C termini demonstrated that the minimal fragment still capable of fMet-binding consists of 90 amino acids. IF2 C-2 was further characterized by circular dichroism; by urea-, guanidine hydrochloride-, and temperature-induced unfolding; and by differential scanning calorimetry. The results indicate that IF2 C-2 is a globular molecule containing predominantly beta structures (25% antiparallel and 8% parallel beta strands) and turns (19%) whose structural properties are not grossly affected by the presence or absence of the N-terminal subdomain IF2 C-1.  (+info)

The fate of the initiator tRNAs is sensitive to the critical balance between interacting proteins. (8/103)

Formylation of the initiator tRNA is essential for normal growth of Escherichia coli. The initiator tRNA containing the U35A36 mutation (CUA anticodon) initiates from UAG codon. However, an additional mutation at position 72 (72A --> G) renders the tRNA (G72/U35A36) inactive in initiation because it is defective in formylation. In this study, we isolated U1G72/U35A36 tRNA containing a wobble base pair at 1-72 positions as an intragenic suppressor of the G72 mutation. The U1G72/U35A36 tRNA is formylated and participates in initiation. More importantly, we show that the mismatch at 1-72 positions of the initiator tRNA, which was thus far thought to be the hallmark of the resistance of this tRNA against peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase (PTH), is not sufficient. The amino acid attached to the initiator tRNA is also important in conferring protection against PTH. Further, we show that the relative levels of PTH and IF2 influence the path adopted by the initiator tRNAs in protein synthesis. These findings provide an important clue to understand the dual function of the single tRNA(Met) in initiation and elongation, in the mitochondria of various organisms.  (+info)

Prokaryotic initiation factors are a group of proteins that play an essential role in the initiation phase of protein synthesis in prokaryotes, such as bacteria. These factors help to assemble the ribosome complex and facilitate the binding of messenger RNA (mRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA) during the start of translation, the process by which genetic information encoded in mRNA is converted into a protein sequence.

There are three main prokaryotic initiation factors:

1. IF1 (InfA): This factor binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit and prevents it from prematurely binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit before the mRNA is properly positioned. It also helps in the correct positioning of the initiator tRNA (tRNAi) during initiation.

2. IF2 (InfB): This factor plays a crucial role in recognizing and binding the initiator tRNA to the 30S ribosomal subunit, forming the 70S initiation complex. It also hydrolyzes GTP during this process, which provides energy for the reaction.

3. IF3 (InfC): This factor helps in the dissociation of the 70S ribosome into its individual 30S and 50S subunits after translation is complete. During initiation, it binds to the 30S subunit and prevents incorrect mRNA binding while promoting the correct positioning of the initiator tRNA.

These prokaryotic initiation factors work together to ensure accurate and efficient protein synthesis in bacteria and other prokaryotes.

The Prokaryotic Initiation Factor-1 (IF-1) is a bacterial protein involved in the initiation phase of protein synthesis. It plays a crucial role in the formation of the 70S initiation complex, which is a prerequisite for the beginning of translation. Specifically, IF-1 associates with the 30S ribosomal subunit and helps to position the initiator tRNA (tRNA^fmet^) in the P site during the formation of the initiation complex. This process is essential for the accurate start of protein synthesis in prokaryotic organisms. IF-1 is also known as IF-1A or infA, and its gene is located in the bacterial chromosome.

Peptide initiation factors are a group of proteins involved in the process of protein synthesis in cells, specifically during the initial stage of elongation called initiation. In this phase, they assist in the assembly of the ribosome, an organelle composed of ribosomal RNA and proteins, at the start codon of a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule. This marks the beginning of the translation process where the genetic information encoded in the mRNA is translated into a specific protein sequence.

There are three main peptide initiation factors in eukaryotic cells:

1. eIF-2 (eukaryotic Initiation Factor 2): This factor plays a crucial role in binding methionyl-tRNAi, the initiator tRNA, to the small ribosomal subunit. It does so by forming a complex with GTP and the methionyl-tRNAi, which then binds to the 40S ribosomal subunit. Once bound, eIF-2-GTP-Met-tRNAi recognizes the start codon (AUG) on the mRNA.

2. eIF-3: This is a large multiprotein complex that interacts with both the small and large ribosomal subunits and helps stabilize their interaction during initiation. It also plays a role in recruiting other initiation factors to the preinitiation complex.

3. eIF-4F: This factor is a heterotrimeric protein complex consisting of eIF-4A (an ATP-dependent RNA helicase), eIF-4E (which binds the m7G cap structure at the 5' end of most eukaryotic mRNAs), and eIF-4G (a scaffolding protein that bridges interactions between eIF-4A, eIF-4E, and other initiation factors). eIF-4F helps unwind secondary structures in the 5' untranslated region (5' UTR) of mRNAs, promoting efficient recruitment of the 43S preinitiation complex to the mRNA.

Together, these peptide initiation factors facilitate the recognition of the correct start codon and ensure efficient translation initiation in eukaryotic cells.

The Prokaryotic Initiation Factor-3 (IF3) is a protein factor involved in the initiation phase of protein synthesis in prokaryotic organisms, such as bacteria. Specifically, IF3 plays a crucial role in the accurate selection and binding of initiator tetra codon (AUG) during the formation of the initiation complex on the small ribosomal subunit.

In prokaryotes, protein synthesis begins with the formation of a 30S initiation complex, which consists of the 30S ribosomal subunit, initiator tRNA (tRNA^fMet^), mRNA, and various initiation factors, including IF3. The primary function of IF3 is to prevent non-initiator tRNAs from binding to the P site on the 30S ribosomal subunit, ensuring that only the initiator tRNA can bind to the correct start codon (AUG) during initiation.

IF3 has two distinct domains: an N-terminal domain responsible for interacting with the 30S ribosomal subunit and a C-terminal domain involved in binding to the initiator tRNA. After the formation of the 30S initiation complex, IF3 is released from the complex following the hydrolysis of GTP by another initiation factor (IF2). This release allows for the joining of the large ribosomal subunit and the beginning of elongation phase of protein synthesis.

In summary, Prokaryotic Initiation Factor-3 is a critical player in prokaryotic translation, ensuring accurate initiation by promoting the binding of initiator tRNA to the correct start codon on the small ribosomal subunit.

Prokaryotic Initiation Factor-2 (IF-2) is a protein factor that plays an essential role in the initiation phase of protein synthesis in prokaryotes. It is involved in the binding of the small 30S ribosomal subunit to the initiator tRNA (tRNA^fMet or tRNA^met) and mRNA, forming the 30S initiation complex. This factor aids in positioning the initiator tRNA at the correct start codon (AUG) on the mRNA, thereby facilitating the accurate initiation of translation. IF-2 is one of three initiation factors (IF-1, IF-2, and IF-3) that are required for the initiation phase of protein synthesis in prokaryotes.

Prokaryotic cells are simple, single-celled organisms that do not have a true nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles. They include bacteria and archaea. The genetic material of prokaryotic cells is composed of a single circular chromosome located in the cytoplasm, along with small, circular pieces of DNA called plasmids. Prokaryotic cells have a rigid cell wall, which provides protection and support, and a flexible outer membrane that helps them to survive in diverse environments. They reproduce asexually by binary fission, where the cell divides into two identical daughter cells. Compared to eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells are generally smaller and have a simpler structure.

Eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) are a group of proteins that play a crucial role in the process of protein synthesis, also known as translation, in eukaryotic cells. During the initiation phase of translation, these factors help to assemble the necessary components for the formation of the initiation complex on the small ribosomal subunit and facilitate the recruitment of messenger RNA (mRNA) and the transfer RNA carrying the initiator methionine (tRNAi^Met).

There are several eukaryotic initiation factors, each with a specific function in the initiation process. Some of the key eIFs include:

1. eIF1: helps to maintain the correct conformation of the 40S ribosomal subunit and prevents premature binding of tRNAi^Met.
2. eIF1A: stabilizes the interaction between eIF1 and the 40S ribosomal subunit, and also promotes the recruitment of tRNAi^Met.
3. eIF2: forms a ternary complex with GTP and tRNAi^Met, which binds to the 40S ribosomal subunit in an AUG-specific manner.
4. eIF3: interacts with the 40S ribosomal subunit and helps to recruit other initiation factors, including eIF1, eIF1A, and eIF2.
5. eIF4F: a heterotrimeric complex that includes eIF4E (cap-binding protein), eIF4A (DEAD-box RNA helicase), and eIF4G (scaffolding protein). This complex recognizes the 5' cap structure of mRNAs and facilitates their recruitment to the ribosome.
6. eIF5: promotes the hydrolysis of GTP in the eIF2-GTP-tRNAi^Met ternary complex, leading to the dissociation of eIF2-GDP and the formation of a stable 43S preinitiation complex.
7. eIF5B: catalyzes the joining of the 60S ribosomal subunit to form an 80S initiation complex and facilitates the release of eIF1A, eIF2-GDP, and eIF5 from the complex.

These initiation factors play crucial roles in ensuring accurate translation initiation, maintaining translational fidelity, and regulating gene expression at the level of translation. Dysregulation of these processes can lead to various human diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and viral infections.

Eukaryotic Initiation Factor-2 (eIF-2) is a crucial protein complex in the process of protein synthesis, also known as translation, in eukaryotic cells. It plays a role in the initiation phase of translation, where it helps to recruit and position the initiator tRNA (tRNAiMet) at the start codon on the mRNA molecule.

The eIF-2 complex is made up of three subunits: α, β, and γ. Phosphorylation of the α subunit (eIF-2α) plays a regulatory role in protein synthesis. When eIF-2α is phosphorylated by one of several eIF-2 kinases in response to various stress signals, it leads to a decrease in global protein synthesis, allowing the cell to conserve resources and survive during times of stress. This process is known as the integrated stress response (ISR).

In summary, Eukaryotic Initiation Factor-2 (eIF-2) is a protein complex that plays a critical role in the initiation phase of protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells, and its activity can be regulated by phosphorylation of the α subunit.

Eukaryotic Initiation Factor-4E (eIF4E) is a protein that plays a crucial role in the initiation phase of protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells. It is a subunit of the eIF4F complex, which also includes eIF4A and eIF4G proteins.

The primary function of eIF4E is to recognize and bind to the 5' cap structure (m7GpppN) of messenger RNA (mRNA), a modified guanine nucleotide that is added to the 5' end of mRNA during transcription. This binding event helps recruit other initiation factors, including eIF4A and eIF4G, to form the eIF4F complex, which subsequently binds to the small ribosomal subunit and promotes the scanning of the 5' untranslated region (5' UTR) of mRNA for the start codon (AUG).

The activity of eIF4E is tightly regulated through various post-translational modifications, such as phosphorylation, and interactions with other regulatory proteins. Dysregulation of eIF4E has been implicated in several human diseases, including cancer, where increased eIF4E expression and activity have been associated with poor prognosis and resistance to therapy.

Eukaryotic Initiation Factor-3 (eIF-3) is a multi-subunit protein complex that plays a crucial role in the initiation phase of eukaryotic translation, the process by which genetic information encoded in mRNA is translated into proteins. Specifically, eIF-3 is involved in the assembly of the 43S preinitiation complex (43S PIC), which includes the small ribosomal subunit, various initiation factors, and methionyl-tRNAi (met-tRNAi).

The eIF-3 complex consists of at least 12 different subunits, designated as eIF-3a through eIF-3m. These subunits are believed to play a role in regulating the assembly and disassembly of the 43S PIC, promoting the scanning of mRNA for initiation codons, and facilitating the recruitment of the large ribosomal subunit during translation initiation.

Dysregulation of eIF-3 function has been implicated in various human diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and viral infections. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying eIF-3 function is an important area of research with potential implications for the development of novel therapeutic strategies.

Peptide chain initiation in translational terms refers to the process by which the synthesis of a protein begins on a ribosome. This is the first step in translation, where the small ribosomal subunit binds to an mRNA molecule at the start codon (usually AUG), bringing with it the initiator tRNA charged with a specific amino acid (often N-formylmethionine in prokaryotes or methionine in eukaryotes). The large ribosomal subunit then joins this complex, forming a functional initiation complex. This marks the beginning of the elongation phase, where subsequent amino acids are added to the growing peptide chain until termination is reached.

Eukaryotic Initiation Factor-4G (eIF4G) is a large protein in eukaryotic cells that plays a crucial role in the initiation phase of protein synthesis, also known as translation. It serves as a scaffold or platform that brings together various components required for the assembly of the translation initiation complex.

The eIF4G protein interacts with several other proteins involved in translation initiation, including eIF4E, eIF4A, and the poly(A)-binding protein (PABP). The binding of eIF4G to eIF4E helps recruit the methionine initiator tRNA (tRNAiMet) to the 5' cap structure of mRNA, while its interaction with eIF4A promotes the unwinding of secondary structures in the 5' untranslated region (5' UTR) of mRNA. The association of eIF4G with PABP at the 3' poly(A) tail of mRNA facilitates circularization of the mRNA, promoting efficient translation initiation and recycling of ribosomes.

There are multiple isoforms of eIF4G in eukaryotic cells, such as eIF4GI and eIF4GII, which share structural similarities but may have distinct functions or interact with different sets of proteins during the translation process. Dysregulation of eIF4G function has been implicated in various human diseases, including cancer and neurological disorders.

Protein biosynthesis is the process by which cells generate new proteins. It involves two major steps: transcription and translation. Transcription is the process of creating a complementary RNA copy of a sequence of DNA. This RNA copy, or messenger RNA (mRNA), carries the genetic information to the site of protein synthesis, the ribosome. During translation, the mRNA is read by transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules, which bring specific amino acids to the ribosome based on the sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA. The ribosome then links these amino acids together in the correct order to form a polypeptide chain, which may then fold into a functional protein. Protein biosynthesis is essential for the growth and maintenance of all living organisms.

Eukaryotic Initiation Factor-4A (eIF4A) is a type of protein involved in the process of gene expression in eukaryotic cells. More specifically, it is an initiation factor that plays a crucial role in the beginning stages of translation, which is the process by which the genetic information contained within messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules is translated into proteins.

eIF4A is a member of the DEAD-box family of RNA helicases, which are enzymes that use ATP to unwind and remodel RNA structures. In the context of translation, eIF4A helps to unwind secondary structures in the 5' untranslated region (5' UTR) of mRNAs, allowing the ribosome to bind and initiate translation.

eIF4A typically functions as part of a larger complex called eIF4F, which also includes eIF4E and eIF4G. Together, these proteins help to recruit the ribosome to the mRNA and facilitate the initiation of translation. Dysregulation of eIF4A and other initiation factors has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer.

Eukaryotic Initiation Factor-4F (eIF4F) is a multi-subunit protein complex that plays a crucial role in the initiation phase of eukaryotic mRNA translation. It is involved in the recognition and binding of the 5' cap structure (m7GpppN) of mRNA, which is a characteristic feature of eukaryotic messenger RNAs.

The eIF4F complex consists of three main subunits:

1. eIF4E: This is the cap-binding protein that directly recognizes and binds to the 5' cap structure of mRNA.
2. eIF4A: This is an RNA helicase that unwinds secondary structures in the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of mRNA, allowing for the assembly of the translation initiation complex.
3. eIF4G: This is a scaffolding protein that binds to both eIF4E and eIF4A, as well as other proteins involved in translation initiation, such as poly(A)-binding protein (PABP) and eIF3.

The formation of the eIF4F complex facilitates the recruitment of the small ribosomal subunit to the 5' end of mRNA, followed by scanning along the 5' UTR until an initiation codon (usually AUG) is encountered. Upon recognition of the initiation codon, the large ribosomal subunit joins the complex, forming a functional 80S ribosome that can engage in elongation and ultimately synthesize the protein product.

Dysregulation of eIF4F components has been implicated in various human diseases, including cancer, viral infection, and neurological disorders.

Ribosomes are complex macromolecular structures composed of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and proteins that play a crucial role in protein synthesis within cells. They serve as the site for translation, where messenger RNA (mRNA) is translated into a specific sequence of amino acids to create a polypeptide chain, which eventually folds into a functional protein.

Ribosomes consist of two subunits: a smaller subunit and a larger subunit. These subunits are composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules and proteins. In eukaryotic cells, the smaller subunit is denoted as the 40S subunit, while the larger subunit is referred to as the 60S subunit. In prokaryotic cells, these subunits are named the 30S and 50S subunits, respectively. The ribosome's overall structure resembles a "doughnut" or a "cotton reel," with grooves and binding sites for various factors involved in protein synthesis.

Ribosomes can be found floating freely within the cytoplasm of cells or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, forming part of the rough ER. Membrane-bound ribosomes are responsible for synthesizing proteins that will be transported across the ER and ultimately secreted from the cell or inserted into the membrane. In contrast, cytoplasmic ribosomes synthesize proteins destined for use within the cytoplasm or organelles.

In summary, ribosomes are essential components of cells that facilitate protein synthesis by translating mRNA into functional polypeptide chains. They can be found in various cellular locations and exist as either free-floating entities or membrane-bound structures.

Eukaryotic Initiation Factor-1 (eIF-1) is a protein involved in the initiation phase of protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells. It plays a crucial role in the assembly and recognition of the 40S ribosomal subunit, which is a key step in the formation of the initiation complex during translation.

eIF-1 helps to maintain the correct positioning of the initiator tRNA (tRNAi) at the P site of the small ribosomal subunit and prevents premature binding of the large ribosomal subunit. This ensures that protein synthesis begins at the correct start codon (AUG) in the mRNA.

In addition to its role in translation initiation, eIF-1 has also been implicated in other cellular processes such as DNA repair and apoptosis. Dysregulation of eIF-1 function has been linked to various diseases, including cancer and neurological disorders.

Molecular sequence data refers to the specific arrangement of molecules, most commonly nucleotides in DNA or RNA, or amino acids in proteins, that make up a biological macromolecule. This data is generated through laboratory techniques such as sequencing, and provides information about the exact order of the constituent molecules. This data is crucial in various fields of biology, including genetics, evolution, and molecular biology, allowing for comparisons between different organisms, identification of genetic variations, and studies of gene function and regulation.

Eukaryotic Initiation Factor-2B (eIF-2B) is a multi-subunit protein complex that plays a crucial role in the initiation phase of protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells. It is also known as the guanine nucleotide exchange factor for eIF-2 because its primary function is to catalyze the exchange of GDP (guanosine diphosphate) for GTP (guanosine triphosphate) on the alpha subunit of eukaryotic Initiation Factor-2 (eIF-2). This exchange is essential for the recycling of eIF-2, allowing it to participate in another round of initiation.

The eIF-2B complex consists of five subunits, denoted as p130, p125, p116, p100, and p65 (also known as eIF2B1, eIF2B2, eIF2B3, eIF2B4, and eIF2B5, respectively). The activity of eIF-2B is regulated by phosphorylation, particularly at the alpha subunit of eIF-2 (eIF2α), which can lead to an inhibition of its guanine nucleotide exchange factor activity. This phosphorylation event plays a critical role in the regulation of protein synthesis during cellular stress responses and is involved in various cellular processes, including growth, differentiation, and apoptosis.

Transfer RNA (tRNA) is a type of RNA molecule that plays a crucial role in protein synthesis, the process by which cells create proteins. During protein synthesis, tRNAs serve as adaptors, translating the genetic code present in messenger RNA (mRNA) into the corresponding amino acids required to build a protein.

Each tRNA molecule has an anticodon region that can base-pair with specific codons (three-nucleotide sequences) on the mRNA. At the other end of the tRNA is the acceptor stem, which contains a binding site for the corresponding amino acid. When an amino acid attaches to the tRNA, it forms an ester bond between the carboxyl group of the amino acid and the 3'-hydroxyl group of the ribose in the tRNA. This aminoacylated tRNA then participates in the translation process, delivering the amino acid to the growing polypeptide chain at the ribosome.

In summary, transfer RNA (tRNA) is a type of RNA molecule that facilitates protein synthesis by transporting and delivering specific amino acids to the ribosome for incorporation into a polypeptide chain, based on the codon-anticodon pairing between tRNAs and messenger RNA (mRNA).

Reticulocytes are immature red blood cells that still contain remnants of organelles, such as ribosomes and mitochondria, which are typically found in developing cells. These organelles are involved in the process of protein synthesis and energy production, respectively. Reticulocytes are released from the bone marrow into the bloodstream, where they continue to mature into fully developed red blood cells called erythrocytes.

Reticulocytes can be identified under a microscope by their staining characteristics, which reveal a network of fine filaments or granules known as the reticular apparatus. This apparatus is composed of residual ribosomal RNA and other proteins that have not yet been completely eliminated during the maturation process.

The percentage of reticulocytes in the blood can be used as a measure of bone marrow function and erythropoiesis, or red blood cell production. An increased reticulocyte count may indicate an appropriate response to blood loss, hemolysis, or other conditions that cause anemia, while a decreased count may suggest impaired bone marrow function or a deficiency in erythropoietin, the hormone responsible for stimulating red blood cell production.

An encyclopedia is a comprehensive reference work containing articles on various topics, usually arranged in alphabetical order. In the context of medicine, a medical encyclopedia is a collection of articles that provide information about a wide range of medical topics, including diseases and conditions, treatments, tests, procedures, and anatomy and physiology. Medical encyclopedias may be published in print or electronic formats and are often used as a starting point for researching medical topics. They can provide reliable and accurate information on medical subjects, making them useful resources for healthcare professionals, students, and patients alike. Some well-known examples of medical encyclopedias include the Merck Manual and the Stedman's Medical Dictionary.

A ribosome is a complex molecular machine found in all living cells, responsible for protein synthesis. It consists of two subunits: the small and the large subunit. The small ribosomal subunit plays a crucial role in decoding the messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule and positioning transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules during translation.

The small ribosomal subunit, specifically, is composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. In eukaryotic cells, the small ribosomal subunit is composed of a 18S rRNA molecule and approximately 30 distinct proteins. Its primary function is to recognize the start codon on the mRNA and facilitate the binding of the initiator tRNA (tRNAi) to begin the translation process.

Together, the small and large ribosomal subunits form a functional ribosome that translates genetic information from mRNA into proteins, contributing to the maintenance and growth of cells.

I apologize, but there seems to be no medical definition or recognition for "Clostridium tetanomorphum" in the scientific and medical literature. The genus Clostridium does include several species that are medically relevant, such as C. tetani, which is the bacterium responsible for tetanus. However, I cannot find any reliable sources that mention "Clostridium tetanomorphum." It is possible there is a spelling error or nomenclature issue with the name you provided. If you have more context or information regarding this term, I would be happy to help further.

Ribosomal proteins are a type of protein that play a crucial role in the structure and function of ribosomes, which are complex molecular machines found within all living cells. Ribosomes are responsible for translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into proteins during the process of protein synthesis.

Ribosomal proteins can be divided into two categories based on their location within the ribosome:

1. Large ribosomal subunit proteins: These proteins are associated with the larger of the two subunits of the ribosome, which is responsible for catalyzing peptide bond formation during protein synthesis.
2. Small ribosomal subunit proteins: These proteins are associated with the smaller of the two subunits of the ribosome, which is responsible for binding to the mRNA and decoding the genetic information it contains.

Ribosomal proteins have a variety of functions, including helping to stabilize the structure of the ribosome, assisting in the binding of substrates and cofactors necessary for protein synthesis, and regulating the activity of the ribosome. Mutations in ribosomal proteins can lead to a variety of human diseases, including developmental disorders, neurological conditions, and cancer.
