title: Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 1 (eIF1), the inspector of good AUG context for translation initiation, has an extremely bad AUG context.
abstract: The nucleotide sequence surrounding the translation initiation AUG codon (AUG context) is important for the effective translation initiation. A compilation analysis revealed that all the genes of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 1, which plays a crucial role in the recognition of the optimal AUG context, ironically have extremely bad AUG contexts.
