a Comparison of mtIF2 binding in mtPIC-2 with the complete initiation complex (PDB ID: 6GAW). Upon association of the mtLSU (blue), required for complete initiation complex, the mtIF2-domain IV moves towards the mtSSU. The conformational change is represented by the difference vectors for each Cα atom of domain IV. For the other domains, the flexibility is represented through ribbon thickness according to B-factor. b Zoom-in panels showing contacts of the mtIF2-specific insert and linker domain with the mtSSU. c Schematic representation of the mtIF2 with the corresponding color-code to the conformational changes.
