Plant translation initiation factors: it is not easy to be green

K S Browning. Biochem Soc Trans. 2004 Aug.

Abstract

Plants have significant differences in some of the 'parts' of the translational machinery. There are two forms of eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4F, eIF3 has two novel subunits, eIF4B is poorly conserved, and eIF2 kinases and eIF4E binding proteins (4E-BP) are yet to be discovered. These differences suggest that plants may regulate their translation in unique ways.
