Introduction

Pfam

This domain of unknown function is found at the C-terminus of several translation initiation factors [1].

InterPro

Translation initiation is a sophisticated, well regulated and highly coordinated cellular process in eukaryotes, in which at least 11 eukayrotic initiation factors (eIFs) are included. The W2 domain (two invariant tryptophans) is a region of ~165 amino acids which is found in the C terminus of the following eIFs [PUBMED:8520487, PUBMED:10958635, PUBMED:14681227, PUBMED:16616930, PUBMED:16781736]:
