Introduction

Pfam

This is a family of proteins which are subunits of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF3). In yeast it is called Hcr1. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein Q05775 has been shown to be required for processing of 20S pre-rRNA and binds to 18S rRNA and eIF3 subunits Rpg1p and Prt1p [1].

This shows protein subunits of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 J (eIF3j). It is a component of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF-3) complex, which is involved in protein synthesis and, together with other initiation factors, stimulates binding of mRNA and methionyl-tRNAi to the 40S ribosome [PUBMED:14688252, PUBMED:8995409]. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, eIF3j has been shown to be required for processing of 20S pre-rRNA and binds to 18S rRNA and eIF3 subunits Rpg1p and Prt1p [PUBMED:11387228].
