PubMed Abstract | In eukaryotic translation initiation, AUG recognition of the mRNA requires accommodation of Met-tRNA in a 'P' state, which is antagonized by the factor eIF1. eIF5 is a GTPase activating protein (GAP) ...In eukaryotic translation initiation, AUG recognition of the mRNA requires accommodation of Met-tRNA in a 'P' state, which is antagonized by the factor eIF1. eIF5 is a GTPase activating protein (GAP) of eIF2 that additionally promotes stringent AUG selection, but the molecular basis of its dual function was unknown. We present a cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) reconstruction of a yeast 48S pre-initiation complex (PIC), at an overall resolution of 3.0 Å, featuring the N-terminal domain (NTD) of eIF5 bound to the 40S subunit at the location vacated by eIF1. eIF5 interacts with and allows a more accommodated orientation of Met-tRNA. Substitutions of eIF5 residues involved in the eIF5-NTD/tRNA interaction influenced initiation at near-cognate UUG codons and the closed/open PIC conformation in vitro, consistent with direct stabilization of the codon:anticodon duplex by the wild-type eIF5-NTD. The present structure reveals the basis for a key role of eIF5 in start-codon selection. |
