| UniProt functional annotation for K7IM66 | |||
| UniProt code: K7IM66. |
| Organism: | Nasonia vitripennis (Parasitic wasp). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Ecdysozoa; Arthropoda; Hexapoda; Insecta; Pterygota; Neoptera; Endopterygota; Hymenoptera; Apocrita; Parasitoida; Chalcidoidea; Pteromalidae; Pteromalinae; Nasonia. | |
| Function: | mRNA cap-binding component of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF-3) complex, which is involved in protein synthesis of a specialized repertoire of mRNAs and, together with other initiation factors, stimulates binding of mRNA and methionyl-tRNAi to the 40S ribosome. The eIF-3 complex specifically targets and initiates translation of a subset of mRNAs involved in cell proliferation. In the eIF-3 complex, eif3d specifically recognizes and binds the 7- methylguanosine cap of a subset of mRNAs. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_03003}. | |
| Subunit: | Component of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF-3) complex. {ECO:0000255, ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03003}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000255, ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_03003}. | |
| Domain: | The RNA gate region regulates mRNA cap recognition to prevent promiscuous mRNA-binding before assembly of eif3d into the full eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF-3) complex. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:27462815}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the eIF-3 subunit D family. {ECO:0000255, ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03003}. | |
