They form a complex with the small subunit of the ribosome and Met-tRNA which scans the mRNA and recognizes the initiation codon AUG. For details on EIF4 see C-terminal portion of human eIF4GI. Disease Overexpression of individual subunits of eIF3 may cause malignant transformation . Overexpression of eIF4g is implicated in breast cancer. Structural insights EIF domains include the N terminal domain (NTD), C terminal domain (CTD), RNA recognition domain, middle domain, PAZ domain of EIF2C and a protein-protein interaction domain (PCI) of EIF3.
