Comments
  • FUNCTION: Functions in the early steps of protein synthesis by forming a ternary complex with GTP and initiator tRNA. This complex binds to a 40S ribosomal subunit, followed by mRNA binding to form a 43S preinitiation complex. Junction of the 60S ribosomal subunit to form the 80S 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.
  • SUBUNIT: Heterotrimer composed of an alpha, a beta and a gamma chain. Component of an EIF2 complex at least composed of CUGBP1, CALR, CALR3, EIF2S1, EIF2S2, HSP90B1 and HSPA5 (By similarity).
  • INTERACTION:

    P41091:EIF2S3; NbExp=1; IntAct=EBI-1056162, EBI-1054228;
    P36873-1:PPP1CC; NbExp=1; IntAct=EBI-1056162, EBI-356289;
  • PTM: Substrate for at least 4 kinases: EIF2AK3/PERK, GCN2, HRI and PKR. Phosphorylation stabilizes the eIF-2/GDP/eIF-2B complex and prevents GDP/GTP exchange reaction, thus impairing the recycling of eIF-2 between successive rounds of initiation and leading to global inhibition of translation. In case of infection by vaccinia virus or rotavirus A, eIF2S1 phosphorylation state is modulated.
  • SIMILARITY: Belongs to the eIF-2-alpha family.
  • SIMILARITY: Contains 1 S1 motif domain.
