Secondary Information

Protein Function plays an active role in the initiation of translation in mammalian mitochondria
Biochemical Properties Mitochondrial translational initiation factor 3 (IF3(mt)) is a 29 kDa protein that has N- and C-terminal domains, homologous to prokaryotic IF3, connected by a linker region.

Predicted Disorder Regions 31-69, 138-150, 243-273
DisProt Annotation
TM Helix Prediction No TM helices
Additional Comments Mutation of residues 247 and 248 in the C-terminal extension abolished the ability of IF3(mt) to reduce the level of binding of fMet-tRNA to the ribosome in the absence of mRNA.
