PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • an unblocked N terminal proline
  • one S1-like domain
  • C-terminal tail (CTT) of EIF1AX, which we previously implicated in start codon recognition, moves closer to the N-terminal domain of EIF5 when the preinitiation complex (PIC) encounters an AUG codon
    • mono polymer complex
    HOMOLOGY
    interspecies ortholog to murine Eif1ay
    Homologene
    FAMILY EIF1A family
    CATEGORY RNA associated
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic,ribosome
    basic FUNCTION
  • enhancing ribosome dissociation into subunits and stabilizes the binding of the initiator Met-tRNA(I) to 40 S ribosomal subunits
  • required for the binding of the 43S complex (a 40S subunit, eIF2/GTP/Met-tRNA eIF3) to the 5'end of capped mRNA
  • thyroid cancer-related gene
  • EIF1AD may bind to the ribosome, similar to its paralog EIF1AX, and could have roles in ribosome biogenenesis or regulation of translation
    • CELLULAR PROCESS protein, translation regulation
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    translation initiation pathway
    a component of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4F complex
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA binding
    small molecule
    protein
  • initiation factor EIF5B
  • interactions between EIF1AX and EIF5B are being continuously rearranged during translation initiation
  • EIF5 interacts with EIF5B and may help recruit EIF5B to the PIC (an EIF5B-binding motif was identified at the C-terminus of eIF5, similar to that found in EIF1AX)
