| molecular function |
| | GO:0005085 | | guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity | | Stimulates the exchange of guanyl nucleotides associated with a GTPase. Under normal cellular physiological conditions, the concentration of GTP is higher than that of GDP, favoring the replacement of GDP by GTP in association with the GTPase. |
| | GO:0016779 | | nucleotidyltransferase activity | | Catalysis of the transfer of a nucleotidyl group to a reactant. |
| | GO:0003743 | | translation initiation factor activity | | Functions in the initiation of ribosome-mediated translation of mRNA into a polypeptide. |
| biological process |
| | GO:0009058 | | biosynthetic process | | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of substances; typically the energy-requiring part of metabolism in which simpler substances are transformed into more complex ones. |
| | GO:0043547 | | positive regulation of GTPase activity | | Any process that activates or increases the activity of a GTPase. |
| | GO:0006417 | | regulation of translation | | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of proteins by the translation of mRNA or circRNA. |
| | GO:0006446 | | regulation of translational initiation | | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of translational initiation. |
| | GO:0006412 | | translation | | The cellular metabolic process in which a protein is formed, using the sequence of a mature mRNA or circRNA molecule to specify the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain. Translation is mediated by the ribosome, and begins with the formation of a ternary complex between aminoacylated initiator methionine tRNA, GTP, and initiation factor 2, which subsequently associates with the small subunit of the ribosome and an mRNA or circRNA. Translation ends with the release of a polypeptide chain from the ribosome. |
| | GO:0006413 | | translational initiation | | The process preceding formation of the peptide bond between the first two amino acids of a protein. This includes the formation of a complex of the ribosome, mRNA or circRNA, and an initiation complex that contains the first aminoacyl-tRNA. |
| cellular component |
| | GO:0005851 | | eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B complex | | A multisubunit guanine nucleotide exchange factor which catalyzes the exchange of GDP bound to initiation factor eIF2 for GTP, generating active eIF2-GTP. In humans, it is composed of five subunits, alpha, beta, delta, gamma and epsilon. |
| | GO:0032045 | | guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor complex | | A protein complex that stimulates the exchange of guanyl nucleotides associated with a GTPase. |
