Structured_description Provisional_descriptionife-3 encodes one of five C. elegans homologs of the mRNA cap-binding protein eIF4E; by homology, IFE-3 is predicted to bind capped mRNA and mediate its recruitment to ribosomes during translation initiation; in vitro, IFE-3 binds a monomethylated guanosine cap structure but does not bind a trimethylated guanosine cap, which suggests that IFE-3 likely mediates translation of those mRNAs that do not contain a spliced-leader sequence; of the C. elegans eIF4E isoforms, IFE-3 is the most similar to human eIF4E and is the only isoform required for viability (homozygous ife-3 mutant embryos arrest in the early division stages of embryogenesis); IFE-3 is enriched in the adult gonad.

RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
