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. |eIF-5 eIF-2B| |germ cell proliferation| |male germ cell proliferation| |eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 complex| |formation of translation preinitiation complex| |formation of cytoplasmic translation initiation complex| |translation initiation factor binding| |translation factor activity, RNA binding| |cytoplasmic translational initiation| |translation initiation factor activity| |cytoplasmic translation| |male gonad development| |development of primary male sexual characteristics| |translational initiation| |male sex differentiation| |mRNA binding| |gonad development| |development of primary sexual characteristics| |ribonucleoprotein complex assembly| |ribonucleoprotein complex subunit organization| |sex differentiation| |in utero embryonic development| |translation| |peptide biosynthetic process| |reproductive structure development| |reproductive system development| |ribonucleoprotein complex biogenesis| |amide biosynthetic process| |peptide metabolic process| |cell population proliferation| |chordate embryonic development| |embryo development ending in birth or egg hatching| |developmental process involved in reproduction| |gamete generation| |cellular amide metabolic process| |multicellular organismal reproductive process| |sexual reproduction| |cellular protein-containing complex assembly| |multicellular organism reproduction| |embryo development| |multi-organism reproductive process| |transmembrane transport| |RNA binding| |organonitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |reproductive process| |reproduction| |protein-containing complex assembly| |cellular nitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |cellular macromolecule biosynthetic process| |macromolecule biosynthetic process| |protein-containing complex subunit organization| |gene expression| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
