Fig. 5. Steps of translation initiation in P. abyssi.

Fig. 5

Surface representation of successive P. abyssi translation initiation complexes. IC0-PREMOTE and IC1-PIN are from ref. 12. tRNA accommodation, h44 adjustments and aIF2 release from h44 are associated with the release of aIF1. After start codon recognition, aIF1 is released and the initiator tRNA is fully accommodated. Release of aIF1 would cause both Pi release from aIF2γ and h44 adjustments leading to irreversible aIF2 release (see discussion).
