Anti-EIF2S1 Antibody Picoband®

EIF2S1 (Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 2, Subunit 1), also called EIF2-alpha, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EIF2S1 gene. Hartz (2010) mapped the EIF2S1 gene to chromosome 14q23.3 based on an alignment of the EIF2S1 sequence with the genomic sequence (GRCh37) . Ernst et al. (1987) stated that protein synthesis is inhibited due to phosphorylation of Eif2-alpha in hemin-deprived rabbit reticulocyte lysates. HeLa cells subjected to heat shock, serum deprivation, or interferon treatment followed by virus infection also show a correlation between EIF2-alpha phosphorylation and translational repression. Jacob et al. (1989) found that the alpha-Pal transcription factor bound to 2 palindromic sites within the EIF2-alpha promoter and was essential for transcription of the EIF2-alpha gene.

Functions in the early steps of protein synthesis by forming a ternary complex with GTP and initiator tRNA. 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.
