The role of eIF3 in mRNA recruitment to the 43S pre-initiation complex
Beznosková, Petra ; Mašek, Tomáš (referee) ; Valášek, Leoš (advisor)
Translation initiation in eukaryotes plays an important role in gene expression and relies on interactions between many eukaryotic initiation factors, small and large ribosomal subunits, mRNA and initiator tRNA. The largest of these initiation factors, the eukaryotic initiation factor 3 (eIF3), participates in the most of translation initiation reactions. In yeast, eIF3 occurs together with eIF1, eIF5 and ternary complex (TC, eIF2-GTP-Met-tRNAi Met complex) in the multifactor complex (MFC) and promotes formation of the 43S preinitiation complexes. eIF3 also stimulates mRNA recruitment to the 43S preinitiation complexes, scanning the 5' untranslated region of mRNA for AUG recognition and has an important role in the gene-specific translational control mechanism called reinitiation involving short upstream open reading frames (uORFs).
