Summary:Mitochondria are essential organelles of eukaryotic cell that provide its respiratory function by means of the electron transfer chain. Expression of mitochondrial genes is organized in a bacterial-like manner; however multiple evolutionary differences are observed between the two systems, including translation initiation machinery. This review is dedicated to the mitochondrial translation initiation factor 3 (IF3mt), which plays a key role in the protein synthesis in mitochondria. Involvement of IF3mt in human health and disease is discussed.
