Comments [?]

case <OC:Bacteria>
FUNCTIONOne of the essential components for the initiation of protein synthesis. Protects formylmethionyl-tRNA from spontaneous hydrolysis and promotes its binding to the 30S ribosomal subunits. Also involved in the hydrolysis of GTP during the formation of the 70S ribosomal complex.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATIONCytoplasm.
end case
case <OC:Archaea>
FUNCTIONFunction in general translation initiation by promoting the binding of the formylmethionine-tRNA to ribosomes. Seems to function along with eIF-2.
end case
case <OG:Chloroplast>
FUNCTIONOne of the essential components for the initiation of protein synthesis. Protects formylmethionyl-tRNA from spontaneous hydrolysis and promotes its binding to the 30S ribosomal subunits. Also involved in the hydrolysis of GTP during the formation of the 70S ribosomal complex.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATIONPlastid, chloroplast.
end case
SIMILARITYBelongs to the TRAFAC class translation factor GTPase superfamily. Classic translation factor GTPase family. IF-2 subfamily.
