Term Name: formation of cytoplasmic translation initiation complex
Synonyms: cytoplasmic translation initiation complex assembly, formation of translation initiation complex, translation initiation complex assembly
Definition: Joining of the large ribosomal subunit with the translation preinitiation complex, with release of IF2/eIF2 and IF3/eIF3 or IF5B/eIF5B. This leaves the functional ribosome at the AUG, with the methionyl/formyl-methionyl-tRNA positioned at the P site.
