Decreasing the activity of eukaryotic initiation factor-2 (eIF-2) by phosphorylation inhibits general translation in yeast but stimulates GCN4 expression by allowing ribosomes to scan past the uORFs and reinitiate at GCN4 instead. GCDIO was first identified genetically as a translational repressor of GCN4. We show here that GCD10 is an essential protein of 54.6 kD that is required in vivo for the initiation of total protein synthesis. TI - GCD10, a translational repressor of GCN4, is the RNA-binding subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor-3.
