The eIF-3 complex stimulates mRNA recruitment to the 43S PIC and scanning of the mRNA for AUG recognition. The eIF-3 complex is also required for disassembly and recycling of post-termination ribosomal complexes and then prevents premature joining of the 40S and 60S ribosomal subunits prior to initiation (PubMed:9388245, PubMed:17581632).
