EIF1AY is similar to eukaryotic translation initiation factor 1A (EIF1A). This protein seems to be required for maximal rate of protein biosynthesis. It enhances ribosome dissociation into subunits and is required for the binding of the 43S complex (a 40S subunit, eIF2/GTP/Met-tRNAi and eIF3) to the 5 end of capped RNA. Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-144 from human EIF1AY, fused to His-tag at N-terminal expressed in E. coli.
