Yeast eIF1

IntroductionIntroduction

Translation is an essential process for both prokaryotes and eukaryotes to make various proteins from nucleic acid. It requires three different steps: initiation, elongation, and termination. Many proteins are needed in the initiation phase to form an initiation complex with the ribosome and promote the translation. In eukaryotes, these proteins are also known as eukaryotic initiation factors (eIF). The eIFs were first studied through the genetic analyzed of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae [1]. The initiation process is complex since it involves at least 12 eIFs containing more than 30 polypeptides , including eIF1, eIF2, eIF3, eIF4, and eIF5 [1].

StructureStructure

eIF1 is a small protein (12 kDa) that is encode by sui1 which is one of the component of multifactor complex (MFC) that plays an important role in regulating translation initiation [2][3]. eIF1 is a universal translation factor across organisms which make eIF1 homologs can be found in other eukayotes, archaea, and some bacteria [4]. Yeast eIF1 contains a on one side with N-terminal tail (aa 1-23) or NTT [3]. It is homolog to human eIF1 since the structure is similar to human eIF1 (87%) with 63% matched DNA composition (identity) [4] [3]. However, yeast eIF1 has two different conformations with two clear sets of backbone resonances for 13 of the 20 residues that lead to 20 different possible solution structure of yeast eIF1 [3].
