Translation initiation: adept at adapting
T E Dever. Trends Biochem Sci. 1999 Oct.
Abstract
Initiation of protein synthesis requires both an mRNA and the initiator methionyl (Met)-tRNA to be bound to the ribosome. Most mRNAs are recruited to the ribosome through recognition of the 5' m7G cap by a group of proteins referred to as the cap-binding complex or eIF4F. Evidence is accumulating that eIF4G, the largest subunit of the cap-binding complex, serves as a central adapter by binding to various translation factors and regulators. Other translation factors also have modular structures that facilitate multiple protein-protein interactions, which suggests that adapter functions are common among the translation initiation factors. By linking different regulatory domains to a conserved eIF2-kinase domain, cells adapt to stress and changing growth conditions by altering the translational capacity through phosphorylation of eIF2, which mediates the binding of the initiator Met-tRNA to the ribosome.
