Function

Translation initiation factor that is able to deliver tRNA to the P-site of the eukaryotic ribosome in a GTP-independent manner. The binding of Met-tRNA(I) occurs after the AUG codon finds its position in the P-site of 40S ribosomes, the situation that takes place during initiation complex formation on some specific RNAs. Its activity in tRNA binding with 40S subunits does not require the presence of the aminoacyl moiety. Possesses the unique ability to deliver non-Met (elongator) tRNAs into the P-site of the 40S subunit. In addition to its role in initiation, can promote release of deacylated tRNA and mRNA from recycled 40S subunits following ABCE1-mediated dissociation of post-termination ribosomal complexes into subunits.

Activity summary

The eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2D (EIF2D) also known as DAP1 or MCTS1 is a human protein involved in initiating translation of mRNA into proteins. It has a molecular weight of approximately 54 kDa. EIF2D is expressed in various tissues showing its involvement in diverse cellular processes. Mechanically EIF2D facilitates the recycling of ribosomal subunits ensuring efficient protein synthesis. It performs its role by helping the ribosome subunits which have dissociated after termination to be reused for new rounds of translation.

Biological function summary

EIF2D influences protein synthesis through its role in translation initiation and ribosome recycling. It may operate as a part of a complex potentially interacting with other factors involved in translation setup. This role is fundamental to maintaining cellular homeostasis and responding to cellular stress by adjusting protein production rates. EIF2D's interaction with the ribosome and its factors points to its active involvement in the complex regulation of cellular protein levels.

Pathways

EIF2D takes part in the translation initiation pathway which involves other proteins such as eIF1 and eIF2. These factors work together to ensure proper recognition of start codons on mRNA strands. EIF2D also fits into the mRNA surveillance pathway which is responsible for ensuring the fidelity of mRNA translation. The accuracy of this process is critical for proper cellular function and response to stress or damage signals.

Associated diseases and disorders

EIF2D has associations with cancer and metabolic disorders. Its role in protein synthesis regulation impacts how cells grow and proliferate pathways often found altered in cancerous cells. EIF2D may be linked to components like mTOR which is involved in cell growth and metabolism. Additionally EIF2D's function in responding to cellular stress links it to metabolic syndromes where the shifts in protein synthesis can lead to pathological effects.
