Summary

EIF3G (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit G, HGNC:3274) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19p13.2, encoding Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit G (O75821). RNA-binding 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 99.9% of cancer cell lines).

This gene encodes a core subunit of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF3) complex, which is required for initiation of protein translation. An N-terminal caspase cleavage product of the encoded protein may stimulate degradation of DNA. A mutation in this gene is associated with narcolepsy.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 8)

  • Furthermore, we found that overexpression of DISC1 in SH-SY5Y cells induces the assembly of eIF3- and TIA-1-positive stress granules (SGs), discrete cytoplasmic granules formed in response to environmental stresses. (PMID:16243297)
  • AIF overexpression specifically resulted in the activation of caspase-7, thereby amplifying the inhibition of protein (PMID:17094969)
  • PELO is subcellularly localized at the actin cytoskeleton, interacts with HAX1, EIF3G and SRPX proteins and that this interaction occurs at the cytoskeleton; this interaction may facilitate PELO to detect and degrade aberrant mRNAs. (PMID:20406461)
  • down-regulation of eIF3g inhibits the efficiency of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, which is tightly coupled to CT but not to ET (PMID:22493286)
  • Important roles for eIF3g in the translation initiation machinery and in DNA degradation during apoptosis. (PMID:24080033)
  • The disease-associated allele increases EIF3G mRNA expression. EIF3G is located in the narcolepsy risk locus and EIF3G expression correlates with PPAN and P2RY11 expression. (PMID:25669430)
  • An interaction between eIF4A3 and eIF3g drives the internal initiation of translation. (PMID:37811880)
  • In vitro reconstitution of SARS-CoV-2 Nsp1-induced mRNA cleavage reveals the key roles of the N-terminal domain of Nsp1 and the RRM domain of eIF3g. (PMID:37821106)

Function. RNA-binding 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. This subunit can bind 18S rRNA. (Microbial infection) In case of FCV infection, plays a role in the ribosomal termination-reinitiation event leading to the translation of VP2.

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 (via C-terminus) with AIFM1 (via N-terminus). Interacts with DHX33; the interaction is independent of RNA.

Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Perinuclear region.

Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation is enhanced upon serum stimulation.

Similarity. Belongs to the eIF-3 subunit G family.
