Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 1 (eIF1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EIF1 gene. It is related to yeast SUI1.[5][6][7]

eIF1 interacts with the eukaryotic small (40S) ribosomal subunit and eIF3, and is a component of the 43S preinitiation complex (PIC).[8] eIF1 and eIF1A bind cooperatively to the 40S to stabilize an "open" conformation of the preinitiation complex (PIC) during eukaryotic translation initiation.[8] eIF1 binds to a region near the ribosomal P-site in the 40S subunit and functions in a manner similar to the structurally related bacterial counterpart IF3.[9]
