4NOX - PubMed Abstract: 
The multisubunit eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3, among which the subunit b (eIF3b) is a major scaffold protein, plays essential roles in protein synthesis. Here, we report the crystal structure of the WD40 domain of Chaetomium thermophilum eIF3b, revealing a nine-bladed β-propeller fold ...
