eIF4G (source code)
= eIF4G
{c}
An initiation-factor scaffold participating in assembly of <eIF4F>.
By binding other initiation components, it helps connect recognition of a capped message to recruitment of the <biological translation> machinery. The scaffold function explains how cleavage or sequestration of <eIF4G> can alter <biological translation> even without changing the sequence of the message. <Molecular Biology of the Cell, 4th edition by Bruce Alberts and others>[Chapters 4–7, chromatin, replication and gene regulation]{ref}
