"Translation initiation" refers to the process in which a cell starts building a protein using information from genes. It marks the beginning or start of protein synthesis. Full definition
We also show that a general repression of translation, mediated by the phosphorylation of translation initiation factor eIF2 at serine 51 (P - eIF2α), is required to maintain the quiescent state. (inmg.fr)
My Royal Society Travelling Fellowship took us to Basel, Switzerland, for me to study the signalling pathways involved in the phosphorylation of translation initiation factors. (sciencemag.org)
The team confirmed that guanabenz acts by temporarily blocking the reactivation of a protein known as eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF2α). (sciencedaily.com)
