Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4 gamma 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EIF4G1 gene.[3][4]

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the protein complex eIF4F, which is involved in the recognition of the mRNA cap, ATP-dependent unwinding of 5'-terminal secondary structure, and recruitment of mRNA to the ribosome. Alternative splicing results in five transcript variants encoding four distinct isoforms.[5] eIF4G serves as a scaffold, interacting with mRNA and the other components of the eIF4F complex, as well as the PABP and eIF3.

Interactions

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4 gamma has been shown to interact with MKNK1,[6] EIF4A1,[7][8][9] EIF4E,[8][9][10][11][12] MKNK2[13] and PABPC1.[14]
