Peptide Initiation Factors
Medical Definition: | Protein factors uniquely required during the initiation phase of protein synthesis in GENETIC TRANSLATION. |
Guide Notes: | GEN or unspecified; prefer specifics |
Previously Indexed: | Bacterial Proteins (1966-1972),Peptides (1966-1972),Proteins (1966-1972) |
Eukaryotic Initiation Factors - Peptide initiation factors from eukaryotic organisms. Over twelve factors are involved in PEPTIDE CHAIN INITIATION in eukaryotic cells. Many of these factors play a role in controlling the rate of MRNA TRANSLATION. | |
Prokaryotic Initiation Factors - Peptide initiation factors from prokaryotic organisms. Only three factors are needed for translation initiation in prokaryotic organisms, which occurs by a far simpler process than in PEPTIDE CHAIN INITIATION of eukaryotic organisms. |
