EIF3I Recombinant Protein

Source : Escherichia Coli. EIF3I Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 348 amino acids (1-325aa) and having a molecular mass of 38.9kDa.EIF3I is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3, subunit I (EIF3I) is part of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF-3) complex, which is essential for numerous steps in the initiation of protein synthesis. The eIF-3 complex links with the 40S ribosome and facilitates the recruitment of eIF-1, eIF-1A, eIF-2: GTP: methionyl-tRNAi and eIF-5 to form the 43S pre-initiation complex (43S PIC) . The eIF-3 complex stimulates mRNA recruitment to the 43S PIC and scanning of the mRNA for AUG recognition. The eIF-3 complex is also essential for disassembly and recycling of post-termination ribosomal complexes and subsequently prevents premature joining of the 40S and 60S ribosomal subunits prior to initiation. Among the diseases associated with EIF3I are clonorchiasis, and tonsillitis.
