Predicted to enable RNA binding activity; ribosomal small subunit binding activity; and translation initiation factor activity. Predicted to be involved in translational initiation. Predicted to be part of eukaryotic 43S preinitiation complex. Expressed in head and tail. Is an ortholog of human EIF1B (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 1B).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
