Translation initiation factor 2, small GTP-binding protein;(source:Araport11)
TAIR Curator Summary:
Encodes a chloroplast localized protein with similarity to translation initiation factor 2. Can complement loss of INFB in E.coli suggesting FUG1 does function as a translation initiation factor in vivo. Identified as a suppressor of the leaf variegation mutant var2-6. Suppression is only seen in hypomorphs as complete loss of function alleles are embryo lethal. The mRNA is cell-to-cell mobile.
