Dynamic interaction network involving the conserved intrinsically disordered regions in human eIF5.

ABSTRACT: Translation initiation in eukaryotes requires multiple eukaryotic translation initiation factors (eIFs) and involves continuous remodeling of the ribosomal preinitiation complex (PIC). The GTPase eIF2 brings the initiator Met-tRNA_i to the PIC. Upon start codon selection and GTP hydrolysis, promoted by eIF5, eIF2-GDP is released in complex with eIF5. Here, we report that two intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) in eIF5, the DWEAR motif and the C-terminal tail (CTT) dynamically contact the folded C-terminal domain (CTD) and compete with each other. The eIF5-CTD•CTT interaction favors eIF2β binding to eIF5-CTD, whereas the eIF5-CTD•DWEAR interaction favors eIF1A binding, which suggests how intramolecular contact rearrangement could play a role in PIC remodeling. We show that eIF
