IPR016020

Description

IPR016020 is a Translation initiation factor 3, subunit 12, N-terminal, eukaryotic.

<p>This superfamily represents the N-terminal domain found in several eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit 12 (eIF-3 p25; also known as subunit K) proteins. Eukaryotic initiation factor 3 (eIF3) is a multi-subunit complex that is required for binding of mRNA to 40S ribosomal subunits, stabilisation of ternary complex binding to 40S subunits, and dissociation of 40S and 60S subunits [[cite:PUB00010248]].</p>

Associated GO terms

GO predictions are based solely on the InterPro-to-GO mappings published by EMBL-EBI, which are in turn based on the mapping of predicted domains to the InterPro dataset. The InterPro-to-GO mapping was last updated on , while the GO metadata was last updated on .

GO term Namespace Name Definition Relationships
Molecular function Translation initiation factor activity Functions in the initiation of ribosome-mediated translation of mRNA into a polypeptide.
Cellular component Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 complex A complex of several polypeptides that plays at least two important roles in protein synthesis: First, eIF3 binds to the 40S ribosome and facilitates loading of the Met-tRNA/eIF2.GTP ternary complex to form the 43S preinitiation complex. Subsequently, eIF3 apparently assists eIF4 in recruiting mRNAs to the 43S complex. The eIF3 complex contains five conserved core subunits, and may contain several additional proteins; the non-core subunits are thought to mediate association of the complex with specific sets of mRNAs.
Biological process Regulation of translational initiation Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of translational initiation.
Molecular function Ribosome binding Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any part of a ribosome.
