Summary: Enables translation initiation factor activity and translation initiation factor binding activity. Contributes to GTP binding activity and methionyl-initiator methionine tRNA binding activity. Involved in formation of translation preinitiation complex and positive regulation of translational fidelity. Located in cytosol. Part of several cellular components, including eukaryotic 43S preinitiation complex; eukaryotic 48S preinitiation complex; and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 complex. Used to study MEHMO syndrome; glucose metabolism disease; hypopituitarism; and leukodystrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in MEHMO syndrome. Orthologous to human EIF2S3 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit gamma) and EIF2S3B (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit gamma B).

What's a GeneRIF?

Data indicate that Cdc123 is a specific assembly factor for eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF) subunit alpha (sui2), subunit beta (sui3) and subunit gamma (GCD11), which is indispensable for the onset of protein synthesis.
Title: Translation initiation requires cell division cycle 123 (Cdc123) to facilitate biogenesis of the eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2).
Data suggest that structural alterations in eIF2gamma subtly alter the conformation of Met-tRNA(i)(Met) on the 40S subunit and thereby affect the fidelity of start codon recognition independent of Met-tRNA(i)(Met) binding affinity.
Title: Translation initiation factor 2gamma mutant alters start codon selection independent of Met-tRNA binding.
the Cdc123-Chf-Gcd11 axis is an essential pathway for nutritional control of START that runs parallel to the Tor-Gcn2-Sui2 system of translational control
Title: Cdc123 and checkpoint forkhead associated with RING proteins control the cell cycle by controlling eIF2gamma abundance.
