IF3-4

Gene
IF3-4
Protein
Translation initiation factor IF3-4, chloroplastic
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Length
281 amino acids
Function
Chloroplast translation initiation factor that is essential for the coordination of leaf and chloroplast development (PubMed:27535792). IF-3 binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit and shifts the equilibrum between 70S ribosomes and their 50S and 30S subunits in favor of the free subunits, thus enhancing the availability of 30S subunits on which protein synthesis initiation begins (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the IF-3 family.
