RESUMO
The formation of an initiation complex with rabbit reticulocyte ribosomes and certain templates is dependent upon the action of two initiation factors (IF-I and IF-II) of protein synthesis isolated from 0.5 M KCl extracts of rabbit reticulocyte polysomes. IF-I mediates the GTP-dependent, but template-independent, binding of the cytoplasmic initiator transfer RNA (rabbit liver) to a 40S ribosomal subunit. In the presence of a 60S ribosomal subunit and of AUG, AUG(U)25, or rabbit-globin messenger ribonucleoproteins (but not of rabbit-globin messenger RNAs), IF-II causes the transfer of the initiator transfer RNA to an initiation complex containing an 80S ribosome. Although 5′-guanylylmethylenediphosphonate can replace GTP as the cofactor used in binding the initiator transfer RNA to IF-I or to a 40S ribosomal subunit, the subsequent transfer of the initiator transfer RNA to an initiation complex requires GTP and cannot take place in the presence of 5′-guanylylmethylenediphosphonate. After the formation of this initiation complex, the initiator transfer RNA is bound in the P site of the 80S ribosome since exposure of the complex to puromycin releases the methionine residue from the initiator transfer RNA as methionyl-puromycin.
