ID:IF4E3_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E type 3; Short=eIF-4E type 3; Short=eIF-4E3; Short=eIF4E type 3; Short=eIF4E-3; FUNCTION: Recognizes and binds the 7-methylguanosine-containing mRNA cap during an early step in the initiation of protein synthesis. May act as an inhibitor of EIF4E1 activity (By similarity). SUBUNIT: eIF4F is a multi-subunit complex, the composition of which varies with external and internal environmental conditions. It is composed of at least eIF4A, eIF4E and eIF4G (By similarity). EIF4E3 interacts with EIF4G1, but not with EIF4EBP1, EIF4EBP2 and EIF4EBP3 (By similarity). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the eukaryotic initiation factor 4E family.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
