Abstract excerpt
Eukaryotic initiation factor eIF1 and the functional C-terminal domain of prokaryotic initiation factor IF3 maintain the fidelity of initiation codon selection in eukaryotes and prokaryotes, respectively, and bind to the same regions of small ribosomal subunits, between the platform and initiator tRNA. Here we report that these nonhomologous factors can bind to the same regions of heterologous subunits and...
