Background: eIF3K (Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit K, Muscle-specific gene M9 protein) is a widely expressed translation initiation factor that belongs to the eIF3 subunit K family. Translation initiation factor 3 (eIF3) is a multisubunit complex containing at least 12 subunits. eIF3 binds to the 40S ribosomal subunit, promotes the binding of methionyl-tRNAi and mRNA, and interacts with several other initiation factors to form the 40S initiation complex. eIF3K is the smallest subunit of eIF3 and it interacts with several other subunits of eIF3 and the 40S ribosomal subunit. eIF3K is conserved among high eukaryotes, including mammals, insects, and plants, and it is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues. eIF3K is distributed both in nucleus and cytoplasm and colocalizes with cyclin D3, a regulatory subunit of cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (Cdk4).
