Protein
Probable eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5-2
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Catalyzes the hydrolysis of GTP bound to the 40S ribosomal initiation complex (40S.mRNA.Met-tRNA[F].eIF-2.GTP) with the subsequent joining of a 60S ribosomal subunit resulting in the release of eIF-2 and the guanine nucleotide. The subsequent joining of a 60S ribosomal subunit results in the formation of a functional 80S initiation complex (80S.mRNA.Met-tRNA[F]) (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the eIF-2-beta/eIF-5 family.
