  • TIF IF3
  • Translation Initiation Factor 3

Scope note

  • A prokaryotic initiation factor that plays a role in recycling of ribosomal subunits for a new round of translational initiation. It binds to 16S RIBOSOMAL RNA and stimulates the dissociation of vacant 70S ribosomes. It may also be involved in the preferential binding of initiator tRNA to the 30S initiation complex.

History note

  • 2003; use PROKARYOTIC INITIATION FACTOR-3 (NM) 1979-2002; for TIF IF3 & TRANSLATION INITIATION FACTOR 3 use EUKARYOTIC INITIATION FACTOR-3 (NM) 1994-2002
