Function

Component of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF-3) complex, which is required for several steps in the initiation of protein synthesis (PubMed:17581632, PubMed:25849773, PubMed:27462815). The eIF-3 complex associates with the 40S ribosome and facilitates the recruitment of eIF-1, eIF-1A, eIF-2:GTP:methionyl-tRNAi and eIF-5 to form the 43S pre-initiation complex (43S PIC). The eIF-3 complex stimulates mRNA recruitment to the 43S PIC and scanning of the mRNA for AUG recognition. The eIF-3 complex is also required for disassembly and recycling of post-termination ribosomal complexes and subsequently prevents premature joining of the 40S and 60S ribosomal subunits prior to initiation (PubMed:17581632). The eIF-3 complex specifically targets and initiates translation of a subset of mRNAs involved in cell proliferation, including cell cycling, differentiation and apoptosis, and uses different modes of RNA stem-loop binding to exert either translational activation or repression (PubMed:25849773). Required for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD); may act in conjunction with UPF2 to divert mRNAs from translation to the NMD pathway (PubMed:17468741). May interact with MCM7 and EPAS1 and regulate the proteasome-mediated degradation of these proteins (PubMed:17310990, PubMed:17324924).

Notes

ab248752 is the carrier-free version of Anti-eIF3e antibody [EPR6878(2)] ab134958.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Activity summary

EIF3e also known as eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit E is a critical component of the eIF3 complex. This protein has a mass of approximately 60 kDa and is expressed in a wide range of tissues. eIF3e plays a mechanical role in the translation initiation process facilitating the assembly of the pre-initiation complex by binding to the 40S ribosomal subunit and mRNA. It is essential for the correct positioning of mRNA in the ribosome enabling efficient start codon recognition.

Biological function summary

EIF3e participates in translation as part of the eIF3 complex which includes other subunits like eIF3a eIF3b and eIF3c. The complex facilitates ribosomal scanning and joining of the 60S ribosomal subunit promoting efficient protein synthesis. eIF3e specifically stabilizes the interaction of the initiation complex with mRNA ensuring accurate translation initiation. It is abundantly expressed in highly proliferative tissues reflecting its role in cell growth and division regulation.

Pathways

EIF3e plays a significant role in the mTOR signaling pathway and the Wnt signaling pathway. Both pathways regulate cell growth and proliferation which are important for development and tumorigenesis. eIF3e interacts with proteins like mTOR and beta-catenin that are integral to these pathways. It influences translation efficiency and has implications for protein synthesis regulation aligned with cellular growth cues.

Associated diseases and disorders

EIF3e has connections with cancer and viral infections. Aberrant expression and mutations of eIF3e occur in various cancers affecting normal translation control and promoting tumorigenesis. eIF3e also relates to viral pathogenesis as some viruses hijack the host's translation machinery involving eIF3e for viral protein synthesis. These interactions can involve proteins like p53 in cancer where eIF3e's dysregulation contributes to cell cycle alterations and oncogenesis.
