    basic FUNCTION
  • stabilizing initiator Met tRNA (TRIMs) binding to 40S subunits
  • promoting the association of MET tRNA and mRNA
  • translation initiation factor EIF3 acts as the key orchestrator of the canonical initiation pathway in eukaryotes
  • CELLULAR PROCESS protein, translation/synthesis
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • components of the EIF3 multiprotein complex, 600kDa
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
  • binding to 40S ribosomal subunits
  • binding to the 18S RNA (required for mRNA binding)
  • binding beta-globin mRNA
  • small molecule
    protein
  • interacting EIF3A & EIF3S12
  • PELO interacts with HAX1, EIF3G and SRPX proteins and that this interaction occurs at the cytoskeleton
  • CTIF, which has been shown to be preferentially involved in NCBP1-dependent translation but not EIF4E-dependent translation, specifically interacts with EIF3G, a component of the EIF3 complex involved in ribosome recruitment
