Bradyrhizobium japonicum rhizobitoxine genes and putative enzyme functions: expression requires a translational frameshift.

abstract：:Eukaryotic translation initiation factor (eIF) 5 is crucial for the assembly of the eukaryotic preinitiation complex. This activity is mediated by the ability of its C-terminal HEAT domain to interact with eIF1, eIF2, and eIF3 in the multifactor complex and with eIF4G in the 48S complex. However, the binding sites for...
