GTP-independent tRNA delivery to the ribosomal P-site by a novel eukaryotic translation factor.

eIF2D binds tRNA to the P-site of 40S ribosomes in a GTP-independent manner after the AUG codon is positioned in the P-site, and uniquely delivers elongator (non-Met) tRNAs as well.

Activities of Ligatin and MCT-1/DENR in eukaryotic translation initiation and ribosomal recycling.

Ligatin (eIF2D) promotes eIF2-independent recruitment of initiator tRNA to 40S/mRNA complexes when the start codon is in the P-site, and promotes release of deacylated tRNA and mRNA from recycled 40S subunits after ABCE1-mediated ribosome dissociation.

Molecular cloning of the cDNA for ligatin.

The 1989 paper describes "ligatin" as a trafficking receptor for phosphoglycoproteins; this identity has since been superseded by the characterization of EIF2D/Ligatin as a non-canonical translation factor.
