| UniProt functional annotation for P07260 | |||
| UniProt code: P07260. |
| Organism: | Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces. | |
| Function: | 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. | |
| Subunit: | Component of the eIF4F complex, which composition varies with external and internal environmental conditions. It is composed of at least eIF4A (TIF1/TIF2), eIF4E (TIF45) and eIF4G (TIF4631 or TIF4632) (By similarity). Interacts with PAT1 in a RNA-dependent manner. eIF4E is also known to interact with other partners. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11741542}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | Present with 14200 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the eukaryotic initiation factor 4E family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
