eIF2B is a decameric guanine nucleotide exchange factor with a γ2ε2 tetrameric core

Abstract:

eIF2B facilitates and controls protein synthesis in eukaryotes by mediating guanine nucleotide exchange on its partner eIF2. We combined mass spectrometry (MS) with chemical cross-linking, surface accessibility measurements and homology modelling to define subunit stoichiometry and interactions within eIF2B and eIF2. Although it is generally accepted that eIF2B is a pentamer of five non-identical subunits (α–ε), here we show that eIF2B is a decamer. MS and cross-linking of eIF2B complexes all...
