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. <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='Pfam_Domains'>Pfam Domains</button> <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='GO_terms'>GO Terms</button> <modal id='Pfam_Domains' size='lg' title='Pfam Domains'> |eIF-5 eIF-2B| </modal> <modal id='GO_terms' size='lg' title='GO Terms'> |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| </modal> \\ === CRISPR Data === <button type='default' size='small' modal='Compound_Hit'>Compound Hit</button> <button type='default' size='small' modal='Most_Correlated_Genes'>Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics</button> <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Essential_Avana'>Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)</button> <modal id='Compound_Hit' size='lg' title='Compound Hit'> No hits were found. </modal> <modal id='Most_Correlated_Genes' size='lg' title='Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics'> No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics. </modal> <modal id='Essential_Avana' size='lg' title='Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)'> Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 48/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|1/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|2/28| |blood|2/28| |bone|2/26| |breast|5/33| |central nervous system|1/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|1/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|1/20| |lung|4/75| |lymphocyte|2/16| |ovary|2/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|2/16| |plasma cell|2/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|5/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| </modal> == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **<color #00a2e8>Essentiality Rank</color>**: 883 * **<color #00a2e8>Expression level (log2 read counts)</color>**: 7.29 <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Dist_expr'>Expression Distribution</button> <modal id='Dist_expr' size='lg' title='EIF2S2 Expression in NALM6 Cells: 7.29'> {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}} </modal> Last modified: 2025/12/10 20:19by 127.0.0.1
