Summary
EIF3F (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit F, HGNC:3275) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11p15.4, encoding Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit F (O00303). Component of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF-3) complex, which is required for several steps in the initiation of protein synthesis. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 97.7% of cancer cell lines).
Enables identical protein binding activity and metal-dependent deubiquitinase activity. Contributes to translation initiation factor activity. Involved in IRES-dependent viral translational initiation and translational initiation. Located in membrane. Part of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 complex. Implicated in autosomal recessive intellectual developmental disorder 67.

Function. Component of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF-3) complex, which is required for several steps in the initiation of protein synthesis. 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. 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. Deubiquitinates activated NOTCH1, promoting its nuclear import, thereby acting as a positive regulator of Notch signaling.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF-3) complex, which is composed of 13 subunits: EIF3A, EIF3B, EIF3C, EIF3D, EIF3E, EIF3F, EIF3G, EIF3H, EIF3I, EIF3J, EIF3K, EIF3L and EIF3M. The eIF-3 complex appears to include 3 stable modules: module A is composed of EIF3A, EIF3B, EIF3G and EIF3I; module B is composed of EIF3F, EIF3H, and EIF3M; and module C is composed of EIF3C, EIF3D, EIF3E, EIF3K and EIF3L. EIF3C of module C binds EIF3B of module A and EIF3H of module B, thereby linking the three modules. EIF3J is a labile subunit that binds to the eIF-3 complex via EIF3B. The eIF-3 complex interacts with RPS6KB1 under conditions of nutrient depletion. Mitogenic stimulation leads to binding and activation of a complex composed of MTOR and RPTOR, leading to phosphorylation and release of RPS6KB1 and binding of EIF4B to eIF-3. Interacts with RNF139; the interaction leads to protein translation inhibitions in a ubiquitination-dependent manner. Interacts with DTX1, the interaction is required for deubiquitinating activity towards NOTCH1.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylation is enhanced upon serum stimulation. Phosphorylated during apoptosis by caspase-processed CDK11.
Disease relevance. Intellectual developmental disorder, autosomal recessive 67 (MRT67) [MIM:618295] A form of intellectual disability, a disorder characterized by significantly below average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptive behavior and manifested during the developmental period. Some MRT67 patients manifest seizures and sensorineural hearing loss. The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 98 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
