The GTPase eIF5B is involved in the correct positioning of the initiator Met-tRNAiMet on the ribosome during the late stages of translation initiation. Here the authors present a cryo-EM structure of the ribosome in complex with eIF5B and Met-tRNAiMet immediately before transition into elongation, providing insight on Met-tRNAiMetdelivery and how the correct reading frame is established.
