Disease relevance of Eif4e

 

High impact information on Eif4e

  • The translation factor eIF-4E promotes tumor formation and cooperates with c-Myc in lymphomagenesis [6].
  • Our results implicate activation of eIF-4E as a key event in oncogenic transformation by phosphoinositide-3 kinase and Akt [6].
  • We have shown previously that overexpression of eIF-4E in rodent fibroblasts results in tumorigenic transformation. eIF-4E also exhibits mitogenic activity when microinjected into serum-starved NIH-3T3 cells [7].
  • This inhibition is causally related to the dephosphorylation and consequent activation of 4E-BP1, a protein recently identified as a repressor of the cap-binding protein, eIF-4E, function [8].
  • This effect may represent one mechanism by which eIF-4E regulates cell growth and transforms cells in culture [9].
 

Biological context of Eif4e

 

Anatomical context of Eif4e

  • However, neither general protein synthesis nor cap-dependent translation, as assayed by a bicistronic reporter assay system, was affected in Mnk-deficient embryonic fibroblasts, despite the absence of phosphorylated eIF4E [11].
  • Insulin and IGF-I increased the amount of eIF4G associated with eIF4E in nutrient-deprived C2C12 myotubes [14].
  • Overexpression of eIF4E rendered polysome recruitment of mRNAs with structured 5' untranslated regions largely independent of growth factor and resistant to the PI3K inhibitor LY294002 [15].
  • Overexpression of eIF4E did not induce factor-independent growth but specifically impaired differentiation into mature erythrocytes [15].
  • Here we show that either serum treatment or activation of the stress-activated protein kinase (JNK/SAPK) led to enhanced phosphorylation of eIF4E in quiescent NIH 3T3 cells [16].
 

Associations of Eif4e with chemical compounds

  • In Mnk1-Mnk2 DKO mice, no phosphorylated eIF4E was detected in any tissue studied, even after LPS or insulin injection [11].
  • Removal of tetracycline induced eIF4E expression up to fivefold over endogenous levels [12].
  • The association constant values of recombinant eIF4E for 20 different cap analogues cover six orders of magnitude; with the highest affinity observed for m(7)GTP (approximately 1.1 x 10(8) M(-1)) [17].
  • In addition, overexpression of eIF4E rendered progenitors insensitive to the differentiation-inducing effect of LY294002, indicating that control of mRNA translation is a major pathway downstream of PI3K in the regulation of progenitor expansion [15].
  • The amount of serine 1108-phosphorylated eIF4G (but not Ser209-phosphorylated eIF4E) was induced following PH [18].
 

Physical interactions of Eif4e

 

Enzymatic interactions of Eif4e

  • Strikingly, upon induction of eIF4E, 4E-BP1 became dephosphorylated and the extent of dephosphorylation was proportional to the expression level of eIF4E [12].
