"Interestingly, while the interaction between MIWI and eIF3f and the interaction between HuR and eIF4G3 are both independent of RNA, the formation of the MIWI/eIF3/HuR/eIF4G3 super-complex is RNA mediated."

"This indicates that the association of MIWI with eIF3f is temporally regulated during spermatogenesis."

"We confirmed the interaction between MIWI and eIF3f by co-immunoprecipitation (coIP) in both co-transfected 293T cells ( xref ) and mouse testes ( xref )."

"We found that a 150-aa (amino acid) MIWI N-terminal peptide (MIWI-N2) efficiently interacted with eIF3f and deletion of 10 aa at position 111–120 (MIWI-N2 Δ111–120 ) abolished its binding with eIF3f ( xref )."

"To begin to determine whether MIWI-binding to eIF3f is required for translation activation of piRNA targets in mouse spermatids, we mapped the domain(s) in MIWI responsible for eIF3f-binding by testing a series of MIWI truncation mutants ( xref ) for coIP with full-length eIF3f."

"Importantly, MIWI-N2, but not MIWI-N2 Δ111–120 , effectively impaired the binding of full-length MIWI to eIF3f ( xref )."
