[Eukaryotic initiation factor-3 (eIF3) is the largest of the eIFs and consists of at least ten non-identical subunits in mammals. eIF3S6 (p48) appears to interact with eIF3-p170. eIF3S6 binds to the 40S ribosome and promotes the binding of methionyl-tRNAi and mRNA. Cytoplasmic eIF3 is ubiquitously expressed. (from Swiss-Prot Q64252 and NCI) ( NCI )]
