Solution structure of the RRM domain of human eukaryotic initiation factor 3b
Overview
Mammalian eIF3 is a 700 kDa multiprotein complex essential for initiation, of protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells. It consists of 13 subunits, (eIF3a-m), among which eIF3b serves as a major scaffolding protein. Here, we report the solution structure of the N-terminal RNA Recognition Motif, of human eIF3b (eIF3b-RRM) determined by NMR spectroscopy. The structure, reveals a non-canonical RRM with a negatively charged surface in the, beta-sheet area contradictory with potential RNA binding activity., Instead, eIF3j, which is required for stable 40S ribosome binding of the, eIF3 complex, specifically binds to the rear alpha-helices of the, eIF3b-RRM, opposite to its beta-sheet surface. Moreover, we identify that, an N-terminal 69 amino acid peptide of eIF3j is sufficient for binding to, eIF3b-RRM and that this interaction is essential for eIF3b-RRM recruitment, to the 40S ribosomal subunit. Our results provide the first structure of, an important subdomain of a core eIF3 subunit, and detailed insights into, protein-protein interactions between two eIF3 subunits required for stable, eIF3 recruitment to the 40S ribosome.
