Abstract excerpt
The complex eukaryotic initiation factor 3 (eIF3) was shown to promote the formation of the 43 S preinitiation complex by dissociating 40 S and 60 S ribosomal subunits, stabilizing the ternary complex, and aiding mRNA binding to 40 S ribosomal subunits. Recently, we described the identification of RPG1 (TIF32), the p110 subunit of the eIF3 core complex in yeast. In a screen for Saccharomyces cerevisiae multicopy...
