Target Details for EIF2A

Target: EIF2A (Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 2A, 65kDa (EIF2A))

Alternative Name: eIF2 alpha

Background:

Synonyms: EIF2, EIF-2, EIF2A, EIF-2A, EIF-2alpha, Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit 1, Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit alpha, eIF-2-alpha, EIF2S1

Background: Functions in the early steps of protein synthesis by forming a ternary complex with GTP and initiator tRNA. This complex binds to a 4S ribosomal subunit, followed by mRNA binding to form a 43S preinitiation complex. Junction of the 6S ribosomal subunit to form the 8S initiation complex is preceded by hydrolysis of the GTP bound to eIF-2 and release of an eIF-2-GDP binary complex. In order for eIF-2 to recycle and catalyze another round of initiation, the GDP bound to eIF-2 must exchange with GTP by way of a reaction catalyzed by eIF-2B.
