Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EIF4B gene. [5]

Contents

Interactions

eIF4B has been shown to interact with and stimulate the activity of eIF4A and bind to the eIF3 complex through the eIF3A subunit. [6] This interaction results in the recruitment of the eukaryotic small ribosomal subunit (40S) to the mRNA which will in turn set the stage for the later steps leading to elongation.

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4 gamma 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EIF4G3 gene. The gene encodes a protein that functions in translation by aiding the assembly of the ribosome onto the messenger RNA template. Confusingly, this protein is usually referred to as eIF4GII, as although EIF4G3 is the third gene that is similar to eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4 gamma, the second isoform EIF4G2 is not an active translation initiation factor.
