Structural highlights
2idv is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Triticum aestivum. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
IF4E1_WHEAT 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. Recognizes and binds the 7-methylguanosine-containing mRNA cap during an early step in the initiation of protein synthesis and facilitates ribosome binding by inducing the unwinding of the mRNAs secondary structures.
