Eukaryotic initiation factor 4F subunit p150

UniProtKB accession:  P39935

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Component of the eIF4F complex, which interacts with the mRNA cap structure and serves as an initial point of assembly for the translation apparatus. Stimulates translation by interaction with polyadenylate-binding protein PAB1, bringing the 5'- and 3'-ends of the mRNA in proximity. The formation of this circular mRNP structure appears to be critical for the synergistic effects of the cap and the poly(A) tail in facilitating translation initiation, recycling of ribosomes, and mRNA stability. TIF4631 is probably essential when TIF4632 is missing.
