Anti-EIF3J Antibody

EIF3 has a key role in binding of initiator methionyl-tRNA and mRNA to the 40S ribosomal subunit to form the 40S initiation complex (PMID:17588516) . The eIF3 complex stimulates several steps in the translation initiation pathway, including dissociation of 80S ribosomes into 40S and 60S subunits, binding of a ternary complex (TC) consisting of Met-tRNA , eIF2, and GTP to the small subunit (forming the 43S preinitiation complex) and recruitment of mRNA to the 43 S complex to produce the 48S complex (PMID:11560931) EIF3J was identified as a high copy suppressor of the temperature-sensitive (Ts-) phenotype of the rpg1-1 allele of TIF32/RPG1, encoding the largest subunit of yeast eIF3 (eIF3a) (PMID:10488093) .
