Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit I (EIF3I)

The protein contains 325 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 36502 Da.

 

Component of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF-3) complex, which is required for several steps in the initiation of protein synthesis (PubMed:17581632, PubMed:25849773, PubMed:27462815). The eIF-3 complex associates with the 40S ribosome and facilitates the recruitment of eIF-1, eIF-1A, eIF-2:GTP:methionyl-tRNAi and eIF-5 to form the 43S pre-initiation complex (43S PIC). The eIF-3 complex stimulates mRNA recruitment to the 43S PIC and scanning of the mRNA for AUG recognition. The eIF-3 complex is also required for disassembly and recycling of post-termination ribosomal complexes and subsequently prevents premature joining of the 40S and 60S ribosomal subunits prior to initiation (PubMed:17581632). The eIF-3 complex specifically targets and initiates translation of a subset of mRNAs involved in cell proliferation, including cell cycling, differentiation and apoptosis, and uses different modes of RNA stem-loop binding to exert either translational activation or repression (PubMed:25849773).

CLONING

Eukaryotic initiation factor-3 (eIF3) is the largest of the eIFs and consists of at least 10 nonidentical subunits in mammals. See p66 (EIF3S7; 603915). In S. cerevisiae, the p39 subunit of eIF3 contains WD repeats, which are thought to mediate protein-protein interactions. The p39 protein appears to be essential for maintaining the integrity of the yeast eIF3 complex. The mammalian eIF3-p36 subunit is homologous to yeast p39. By searching an EST database for sequences corresponding to the partial protein sequence of rabbit p36, Asano et al. (1997) identified a cDNA encoding human p36. The predicted 325-amino acid human protein shares 46% identity with yeast p39. Like p39, p36 contains 5 WD repeats and 2 less conserved WD repeat elements. The authors found that the p116 (603917), p110 (603916), and p36 subunits localize on 40S ribosomes in cells active in translation and coimmunoprecipitate with p170 (602039), indicating that these proteins are integral components of eIF3. Northern blot analysis revealed that p36 is expressed as a 1.6-kb mRNA in HeLa cells. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta; see 190180) signaling is mediated by the type I (RI; 190181) and type II (RII; 190182) TGF-beta serine/threonine kinase receptors, which are able to form a heteromeric complex. Chen et al. (1995) identified eIF3-p36 as TRIP1 (TGF-beta receptor-interacting protein-1), a protein that specifically associates with RII. The association with RII requires RII's kinase activity, suggesting that receptor autophosphorylation creates a binding site for TRIP1. Since TRIP1 is phosphorylated on serine and threonine by the receptor kinase, the authors proposed that TRIP1 plays a role in TGF-beta signaling. Northern blot analysis indicated that TRIP1 was expressed as a 1.6-kb mRNA in all human fetal tissues tested. In mouse embryos, the immunolocalization patterns of TRIP1 and RII were well correlated, further supporting a functional correlation between both proteins.

GENE STRUCTURE

Galli-Stauber et al. (1998) reported that the p36 gene contains 11 exons and spans 9 kb.

MAPPING

By fluorescence in situ hybridization, Galli-Stauber et al. (1998) mapped the TRIP1 gene to 1p34.1 and a TRIP1 pseudogene to 7q32. ... More on the omim web site
