== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RL7_RABIT RL7_RABIT] Component of the large ribosomal subunit (PubMed:27863242). The ribosome is a large ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for the synthesis of proteins in the cell (PubMed:27863242). Binds to G-rich structures in 28S rRNA and in mRNAs (By similarity). Plays a regulatory role in the translation apparatus; inhibits cell-free translation of mRNAs (By similarity).[UniProtKB:P18124]<ref>PMID:27863242</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Hepatitis C virus mRNA contains an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) that mediates end-independent translation initiation, requiring a subset of eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs). Biochemical studies revealed that direct binding of the IRES to the 40S ribosomal subunit places the initiation codon into the P site, where it base pairs with eIF2-bound Met-tRNAiMet forming a 48S initiation complex. Subsequently, eIF5 and eIF5B mediate subunit joining, yielding an elongation-competent 80S ribosome. Initiation can also proceed without eIF2, in which case Met-tRNAiMet is recruited directly by eIF5B. However, the structures of initiation complexes assembled on the HCV IRES, the transitions between different states, and the accompanying conformational changes have remained unknown. To fill these gaps, we now obtained cryo-EM structures of IRES initiation complexes, at resolutions up to 3.5 A, that cover all major stages from the initial ribosomal association, through eIF2-containing 48S initiation complexes, to eIF5B-containing complexes immediately prior to subunit joining. These structures provide insights into the dynamic network of 40S/IRES contacts, highlight the role of IRES domain II, and reveal conformational changes that occur during the transition from eIF2- to eIF5B-containing 48S complexes and prepare them for subunit joining.
