摘要: Abstract Translation initiation factor eIF1A is required in vitro for maximal rates of protein synthesis mammalian systems. It functions primarily by dissociating ribosomes and stabilizing 40 S preinitiation complexes. To better elucidate its precise role promoting the translation process, yeast form has been identified Saccharomyces cerevisiae purified to homogenity on basis cross-reaction with antibodies prepared against eIF1A. The apparent mass (22 kDa) resembles that homolog (20 kDa), active stimulating methionyl-puromycin an assay composed components. gene encoding eIF1A, named TIF11, was cloned shown be single copy. TIF11 encodes a comprising 153 amino acids (17.4 kDa); deduced acid sequence exhibits 65% identity human Both contain clusters positive residues at N terminus negative C terminus. Deletion/disruption demonstrates essential cell growth. Expression cDNA rescues growth defect TIF11-disrupted cells, indicating structure/function highly conserved.
