Prokaryotic Translation Initiation Factor IF3 Is an Elongated Protein Consisting of Two Crystallizable Domains

We show that translation initiation factor IF3 can be split into two fragments of nearly equal size by the Escherichia coli outer membrane protease omptin. Circular dichroism and small-angle neutron scattering show that the two fragments are structured as domains. Each domain is relatively compact,...
