Figure 2. Interactions of tRNAi and eIF1A with the 40S subunit.

Figure 2

a. eIF1A (violet) binds to h44, rpS30e (wheat) and rpS23 (green). Possible positions of the NTT of eIF1A and the C-terminus of rpS15 (brown) are shown as dashed lines. Conserved regions of 18S rRNA, which form tRNAi binding pocket, are in red. rpS16 (blue), rpS18 (pink), rpS31 (orange) are shown. b. Superposition of 48S PIC, PIC1 and PIC2. Only regions of rRNA that are important for the interaction with the tRNAi are shown. Clockwise rotation of the head domain is indicated.
