description | Members of this entry are a set of functionally uncharacterised hypothetical bacterial proteins. They adopt a ferredoxin-like fold, with a beta-α-β-beta-α-β arrangement []. This entry contains the protein Impact, which is a translational regulator that ensures constant high levels of translation under amino acid starvation. It acts by interacting with Gcn1/Gcn1L1, thereby preventing activation of Gcn2 protein kinases (EIF2AK1 to 4) and subsequent down-regulation of protein synthesis. It is evolutionary conserved from eukaryotes to archaea []. |
