Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.

| Name | EIF5 |
|---|---|
| Function | Component of the 43S pre-initiation complex (43S PIC), which binds to the mRNA cap-proximal region, scans mRNA 5'-untranslated region, and locates the initiation codon (PubMed:11166181, PubMed:22813744, PubMed:24319994). In this complex, acts as a GTPase- activating protein, by promoting GTP hydrolysis by eIF2G (EIF2S3) (PubMed:11166181). During scanning, interacts with both EIF1 (via its C-terminal domain (CTD)) and EIF1A (via its NTD) (PubMed:22813744). This interaction with EIF1A contributes to the maintenance of EIF1 within the open 43S PIC (PubMed:24319994). When start codon is recognized, EIF5, via its NTD, induces eIF2G (EIF2S3) to hydrolyze the GTP (PubMed:11166181). Start codon recognition also induces a conformational change of the PIC to a closed state (PubMed:22813744). This change increases the affinity of EIF5-CTD for EIF2-beta (EIF2S2), which allows the release, by an indirect mechanism, of EIF1 from the PIC (PubMed:22813744). Finally, EIF5 stabilizes the PIC in its closed conformation (PubMed:22813744). |

Background
Catalyzes the hydrolysis of GTP bound to the 40S ribosomal initiation complex (40S.mRNA.Met-tRNA[F].eIF-2.GTP) with the subsequent joining of a 60S ribosomal subunit resulting in the release of eIF-2 and the guanine nucleotide. The subsequent joining of a 60S ribosomal subunit results in the formation of a functional 80S initiation complex (80S.mRNA.Met-tRNA[F]).
