Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding to each other.

infBTranslation initiation factor aIF-2/yIF-2; Function in general translation initiation by promoting the binding of the formylmethionine-tRNA to ribosomes. Seems to function along with eIF-2. (601 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
rpl2
Ribosomal protein L2; One of the primary rRNA binding proteins. Required for association of the 30S and 50S subunits to form the 70S ribosome, for tRNA binding and peptide bond formation. It has been suggested to have peptidyltransferase activity; this is somewhat controversial. Makes several contacts with the 16S rRNA in the 70S ribosome. Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL2 family.
  
 0.992
rps3
Ribosomal protein S3, eukaryotic/archaeal type; Binds the lower part of the 30S subunit head. Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS3 family.
  
 
 0.990
rps5
Ribosomal protein S5/S2; With S4 and S12 plays an important role in translational accuracy.
  
 0.984
rps2
PFAM: Ribosomal protein S2; TIGRFAM: ribosomal protein Sa(cytosolic)/S2(archaeal); Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS2 family.
 
 0.983
rps11
Archaeal ribosomal protein S11P; Located on the platform of the 30S subunit. Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uS11 family.
 
 0.983
rpl10e
PFAM: Ribosomal protein L16p/L10e; TIGRFAM: ribosomal protein L10.e; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL16 family.
  
 0.979
rpl7ae
50S ribosomal protein L7Ae; Multifunctional RNA-binding protein that recognizes the K- turn motif in ribosomal RNA, the RNA component of RNase P, box H/ACA, box C/D and box C'/D' sRNAs.
 
 
 0.979
rpl15
Ribosomal protein L15; Binds to the 23S rRNA; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL15 family.
  
 0.979
truB
rRNA pseudouridine synthase, putative; Could be responsible for synthesis of pseudouridine from uracil-55 in the psi GC loop of transfer RNAs; Belongs to the pseudouridine synthase TruB family. Type 2 subfamily.
 
 
 0.978
rpl5
Ribosomal protein L5; This is 1 of the proteins that binds and probably mediates the attachment of the 5S RNA into the large ribosomal subunit, where it forms part of the central protuberance. In the 70S ribosome it contacts protein S13 of the 30S subunit (bridge B1b), connecting the 2 subunits; this bridge is implicated in subunit movement. May contact the P site tRNA; the 5S rRNA and some of its associated proteins might help stabilize positioning of ribosome-bound tRNAs.
