MeSH Heading: Prokaryotic Initiation Factor-2
Tree Number(s): D12.776.835.725.934.562
Unique ID: D039881
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D039881
Scope Note: The largest of the three prokaryotic initiation factors with a molecular size of approximately 80 kD. It functions in the transcription initiation process by promoting the binding of formylmethionine-tRNA to the P-site of the 30S ribosome and by preventing the incorrect binding of elongator tRNA to the translation initiation site.
Entry Term(s): IF2 Protein; Initiation Factor-2; Peptide Initiation Factor 2; Peptide Initiation Factor IF-2; Translational Initiation Factor 2; infB Gene Product; infB Protein
