[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]. * **<color #00a2e8>UniProt Summary</color>**: As a subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2), involved in the early steps of protein synthesis. In the presence of GTP, eIF2 forms a ternary complex with initiator tRNA Met-tRNAi and then recruits the 40S ribosomal complex, a step that determines the rate of protein translation. This step is followed by mRNA binding to form the 43S pre-initiation complex. Junction of the 60S ribosomal subunit to form the 80S initiation complex is preceded by hydrolysis of the GTP bound to eIF2 and release of an eIF2-GDP binary complex. In order for eIF2 to recycle and catalyze another round of initiation, the GDP bound to eIF2 must exchange with GTP by way of a reaction catalyzed by eIF2B (By similarity). Along with its paralog on chromosome Y, may contribute to spermatogenesis up to the round spermatid stage (By similarity). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9Z0N1}. <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'> |GTP EFTU D2| |eIF2 C| |GTP EFTU| </modal> <modal id='GO_terms' size='lg' title='GO Terms'> |positive regulation of translational fidelity| |eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 complex| |formation of translation preinitiation complex| |regulation of translational fidelity| |translation factor activity, RNA binding| |cytoplasmic translational initiation| |translation initiation factor activity| |tRNA binding| |cytoplasmic translation| |positive regulation of translation| |translational initiation| |positive regulation of cellular amide metabolic process| |ribonucleoprotein complex assembly| |ribonucleoprotein complex subunit organization| |cadherin binding| |GTPase activity| |regulation of translation| |translation| |GTP binding| |regulation of cellular amide metabolic process| |peptide biosynthetic process| |ribonucleoprotein complex biogenesis| |posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression| |amide biosynthetic process| |peptide metabolic process| |cellular amide metabolic process| |cellular protein-containing complex assembly| |transmembrane transport| |organonitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |protein-containing complex assembly| |positive regulation of cellular protein metabolic process| |cellular nitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of protein metabolic process| |cellular macromolecule biosynthetic process| |macromolecule biosynthetic process| |protein-containing complex subunit organization| |positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of cellular biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of gene expression| |gene expression| |positive regulation of biosynthetic process| </modal> \\ === CRISPR Data === <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Compound_Hit'>Compound Hit</button> <button type='primary' 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'> ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp454|Bafilomycin-A1 0.009μM R08 exp454]]|-1.75| |[[:results:exp474|CR131-b 0.005μM R08 exp474]]|-1.71| |[[:results:exp225|Celastrol 0.12μM R05 exp225]]|1.78| |[[:results:exp375|Lenalidomide 20μM R07 exp375]]|1.81| |[[:results:exp145|PNU96415E 10μM R03 exp145]]|1.84| |[[:results:exp346|CoCl2 18μM R07 exp346]]|1.85| |[[:results:exp269|Bisphenol A 100μM R06 exp269]]|1.92| |[[:results:exp320|ABT-702 5μM plus CoCl2 18μM R07 exp320]]|2.54| </modal> <modal id='Most_Correlated_Genes' size='lg' title='Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics'> ^Gene^Correlation^ |[[:human genes:h:hgc6.3|HGC6.3]]|0.4| </modal> <modal id='Essential_Avana' size='lg' title='Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)'> Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 694/694 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|1/1| |909776.0|1/1| |bile duct|28/28| |blood|26/26| |bone|26/26| |breast|30/30| |central nervous system|49/49| |cervix|4/4| |colorectal|17/17| |esophagus|11/11| |fibroblast|1/1| |gastric|14/14| |kidney|18/18| |liver|19/19| |lung|72/72| |lymphocyte|16/16| |ovary|25/25| |pancreas|22/22| |peripheral nervous system|15/15| |plasma cell|12/12| |prostate|1/1| |skin|20/20| |soft tissue|9/9| |thyroid|2/2| |upper aerodigestive|22/22| |urinary tract|28/28| |uterus|5/5| </modal> == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **<color #00a2e8>Essentiality Rank</color>**: 556 * **<color #00a2e8>Expression level (log2 read counts)</color>**: 7.82 <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Dist_expr'>Expression Distribution</button> <modal id='Dist_expr' size='lg' title='EIF2S3 Expression in NALM6 Cells: 7.82'> {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}} </modal> Last modified: 2026/01/07 22:36by 127.0.0.1
