[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/IF4E_YEAST IF4E_YEAST]] 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. [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/IF4F1_YEAST IF4F1_YEAST]] Component of the eIF4F complex, which interacts with the mRNA cap structure and serves as an initial point of assembly for the translation apparatus. Stimulates translation by interaction with polyadenylate-binding protein PAB1, bringing the 5'- and 3'-ends of the mRNA in proximity. The formation of this circular mRNP structure appears to be critical for the synergistic effects of the cap and the poly(A) tail in facilitating translation initiation, recycling of ribosomes, and mRNA stability. TIF4631 is probably essential when TIF4632 is missing.<ref>PMID:9256432</ref> <ref>PMID:10357826</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==

The eukaryotic initiation factor 4G (eIF4G) is the core of a multicomponent switch controlling gene expression at the level of translation initiation. It interacts with the small ribosomal subunit interacting protein, eIF3, and the eIF4E/cap-mRNA complex in order to load the ribosome onto mRNA during cap-dependent translation. We describe the solution structure of the complex between yeast eIF4E/cap and eIF4G (393-490). Binding triggers a coupled folding transition of eIF4G (393-490) and the eIF4E N terminus resulting in a molecular bracelet whereby eIF4G (393-490) forms a right-handed helical ring that wraps around the N terminus of eIF4E. Cofolding allosterically enhances association of eIF4E with the cap and is required for maintenance of optimal growth and polysome distributions in vivo. Our data explain how mRNA, eIF4E, and eIF4G exists as a stable mRNP that may facilitate multiple rounds of ribosomal loading during translation initiation, a key determinant in the overall rate of protein synthesis.

Ribosome loading onto the mRNA cap is driven by conformational coupling between eIF4G and eIF4E.,Gross JD, Moerke NJ, von der Haar T, Lugovskoy AA, Sachs AB, McCarthy JE, Wagner G Cell. 2003 Dec 12;115(6):739-50. PMID:14675538<ref>PMID:14675538</ref>
