Summary: Enables mRNA binding activity; translation initiation factor activity; and translation initiation factor binding activity. Involved in stress granule assembly and translational initiation. Located in P-body and cytoplasmic stress granule. Part of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4F complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in late onset Parkinson's disease. Orthologous to several human genes including EIF4G3 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4 gamma 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Title: eIF4G is retained on ribosomes elongating and terminating on short upstream ORFs to control reinitiation in yeast.
Crystal structures of a fungal eIF4E-eIF4G complex were determined. The canonical and non-canonical motifs in 4E-BPs and eIF4G contribute differently to the affinity for eIF4E. Highly specialized structural motifs do exist and serve to modulate the affinity of protein-protein interactions that regulate cap-dependent translation initiation in fungi.

depleting eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4G (eIF4G), the scaffold subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4F (eIF4F), preferentially impacts short mRNAs with strong closed-loop potential and unstructured 5' UTRs, exactly the opposite features associated with hyperdependence on the eIF4B/helicases.
Title: eIF4B stimulates translation of long mRNAs with structured 5' UTRs and low closed-loop potential but weak dependence on eIF4G.
These results reveal and characterize an unexpected interdependence between the two RNA helicases and eIF4G, and suggest that Ded1p is an integral part of eIF4F, the complex comprising eIF4G, eIF4A, and eIF4E.
Title: Coupling between the DEAD-box RNA helicases Ded1p and eIF4A.
Data show that that deletion of eIF4G1, but not eIF4G2, impairs growth and global translation initiation rates.
