Which of the following is NOT a role for IF-3 during the initiation of translation in prokaryotic cells?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

IF-3 is not involved in binding the 70S subunit or promoting binding of a new mRNA during initiation of translation in prokaryotic cells. Its roles include binding to the 30S subunit to prevent premature association with the 50S subunit, and dissociating from the 30S subunit to allow the formation of the initiation complex. It is also involved in promoting the release of IF-2 and GTP from the ribosome after initiation.
