The activity of eukaryotic initiation factor eIF-2 in ternary complex formation with GTP and Met-tRNA.

R Benne, H Amesz, J W Hershey, H O Voorma.   

Abstract

Ternary complex formation between [3H]Met-tRNAf, [14C]H3-eIF-2, and GTP was measured on nitrocellulose filters. It is shown that [3H]Met-tRNAf and [14C]H3-eIF-2 are present on the filter in equimolar amounts when ATP, creatine phosphate, and creatine kinase are included in the reaction mixture. Under these conditions the factor is 100% active. With small amounts of factor significant losses occur due to adsorption to the wall of the reaction vessels, resulting in seemingly low activities of eIF-2. These losses can be prevented by the presence of "stimulatory" proteins, which enhance the recovery of both [3H]Met-tRNAf and [14C]H3-eIF-2 on the filter but do not alter their ratio.
