Gene name infB

case <OC:Bacteria>
FUNCTION: One 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 (By similarity).
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm (By similarity).
end case


case <OC:Archaea>
FUNCTION: Function in general translation initiation by promoting the binding of the formylmethionine-tRNA to ribosomes. Seems to function along with eIF-2 (By similarity).
end case


case <OG:Chloroplast>
FUNCTION: One 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 (By similarity).
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Plastid, chloroplast.
end case

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the IF-2 family.
