Description
EIF1AY is a 17,430 base pairs gene containing 7 exons, located on the non-recombining region of the Y chromosome (Yq11.223). It is also known as eIF4C. It encodes a protein related to eukaryotic translation initiation factor 1A (eIF1A), which may function in stabilizing the binding of the initiator Met-tRNA to the 40S ribosomal subunit. eIF1A is one of the most conserved initiation factors and is essential for viability in yeast. The EIF1AY encodes a Y isoform of eIF1A, which aids the slippage of the 40S subunit along the mRNA by indwelling the A site, which prevents possible interactions between tRNAs and mRNA that might fix the mRNA on the ribosome. eIF1A also enhances the formation of 5-terminal complexes in the presence of other translation initiation factors
