Associations of EIF2S2 with chemical compounds

  • Thus, rather than allosterically regulating eIF2gamma-G domain function via eIF2beta, our data support a model in which the GTPase-activating factor eIF5 and the guanine-nucleotide exchange factor eIF2B modulate eIF2 function through direct interactions with the eIF2gamma-G domain [2].
  • Both Co-eIF-2 alpha and Co-eIF-2 beta are heat-stable factors that stimulate ternary complex formation in the presence and absence of Mg2+ and overcome the inhibitory effect of aurintricarboxylic acid [10].
  • SRD1 encodes a putative 225 amino acid, 26 kDa protein containing a C2/C2 zinc finger motif that is also found in some transcription regulators and the eIF-2 beta translation initiating factors [11].
  • Our studies indicate that the cysteine residues and the intervening amino acids of this motif are essential for eIF-2 beta function in translation initiation in vivo [7].
  • This inhibition is relieved upon addition of ATP, showing that Cibacron blue 3G-A competes with ATP for eIF-2. eIF-2 beta subunit, active in binding of mRNA, is recovered upon chromatography of eIF-2 in denaturing conditions over matrix-bound Cibacron blue 3G-A [12].
 

Other interactions of EIF2S2

  • The stimulatory effects of Co-eIF-2 alpha and Co-eIF-2 beta on the ternary complex formation are close to additive, strongly suggesting that the two factors function independently [10].
  • Spots identified as eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 2 alpha, eIF-2 beta, eIF-2 gamma, eIF-4A, and four eIF-3 proteins of less than 50,000 Da corresponded to moderately abundant lysate proteins [13].
  • The IF5-CTD interacts directly with the translation initiation factors eIF1, eIF2-beta, and eIF3c, thus forming together with eIF2 bound Met-tRNA(i)(Met) the MFC [14].
  • There were no reproducible, significant changes in eIF-4A, eIF-4B, or eIF-2 beta in cells infected by any of these viruses [15].
