Product Specs

Introduction
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3, subunit I (EIF3I) is a component of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF-3) complex. This complex is crucial for various stages of protein synthesis initiation. EIF3I, as part of the eIF-3 complex, assists in connecting the 40S ribosome and recruiting other initiation factors like eIF-1, eIF-1A, eIF-2:GTP:methionyl-tRNAi, and eIF-5. This assembly forms the 43S pre-initiation complex (43S PIC). The eIF-3 complex plays a vital role in mRNA recruitment to the 43S PIC and the subsequent scanning of the mRNA to identify the AUG start codon. Additionally, the eIF-3 complex is essential for disassembling and recycling post-termination ribosomal complexes, which helps prevent premature joining of the 40S and 60S ribosomal subunits before initiation. EIF3I has been associated with diseases such as clonorchiasis and tonsillitis.

Product Science Overview

Introduction

Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 3 (eIF3) is a multiprotein complex essential for the initiation phase of eukaryotic translation. It plays a crucial role in the formation of the preinitiation complex (PIC) and the recruitment of mRNA to the ribosome. Among its subunits, eIF3I is a significant component that contributes to the overall function of the eIF3 complex.

Structure and Composition

The eIF3 complex in humans consists of 13 nonidentical subunits (eIF3a-m) with a combined molecular weight of approximately 800 kDa, making it the largest translation initiation factor . The eIF3I subunit is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 348 amino acids and has a molecular mass of 38.9 kDa . It is often produced recombinantly in E. coli or Sf9 Baculovirus cells for research purposes .

Function

eIF3I, along with other subunits of the eIF3 complex, is involved in various steps of translation initiation. The eIF3 complex binds to the small ribosomal subunit (40S) and serves as a scaffold for several other initiation factors, including eIF1, eIF1A, eIF2, and eIF5 . This binding facilitates the formation of the 43S preinitiation complex (PIC), which is essential for the recruitment of mRNA and the scanning of the mRNA leader sequence for the start codon .

Role in Translation Initiation

The eIF3 complex, including eIF3I, plays a pivotal role in the initiation of translation by:

  1. Recruiting mRNA: eIF3 stimulates the recruitment of mRNA to the 43S PIC, enabling the scanning process for the start codon .
  2. Modulating Fidelity: eIF3 modulates the fidelity of start codon selection, ensuring that translation initiates at the correct site .
  3. Preventing Premature Association: eIF3 impairs the premature association of the 40S and 60S ribosomal subunits, thereby regulating the timing of ribosome assembly .
Research and Applications

Recombinant eIF3I is widely used in research to study the mechanisms of translation initiation and the role of individual subunits in this process. Structural studies, such as cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), have provided insights into the interactions between eIF3I and other components of the translation machinery . Additionally, recombinant eIF3I is used to investigate its potential role in various diseases and to develop therapeutic interventions targeting translation initiation.
