High impact information on EIF2S3

  • This fragment was used as a probe to screen for larger cDNAs and eventually a clone containing the complete eIF-2 gamma coding region (1416 base pairs) was identified [1].
  • Transfection of COS-1 cells with the cDNA results in overexpression of a 52-kDa protein which is specifically recognized by anti-eIF-2 gamma antibodies [1].
  • Eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF)-2 alpha, eIF-2 beta, and eIF-4A each formed a single immunoreactive spot; eIF-2 gamma formed 2 spots; and eIF-4B formed a complex array of 12-20 spots [2].
  • However, when eIF-2 was preincubated specifically with the eIF-2 gamma-subunit antibodies, subsequent co-immunoprecipitation of p67 with the eIF-2 subunits was completely inhibited [3].
  • CTCF binding sites were also present at the 5' end of two other escape genes, mouse Eif2s3x and human EIF2S3, each adjacent to an inactivated gene, but not at genes embedded within large escape domains [4].
