High impact information on EIF4E

  • In BAEC, TNF promotes phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF-4E), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and ceramide-activated protein kinase activities, Jun-b expression, prostacyclin production, and, when protein synthesis is inhibited, cytotoxicity [1].
  • Bovine kidney eIF-4E enhanced up to 1.8-fold globin synthesis in m7GTP-Sepharose-treated reticulocyte lysates [2].
  • We present evidence that a specific repressor of eIF4E, the binding protein 4E-BP1, is present and could be involved in preventing eIF4E function in metaphase II stage oocytes [3].
  • Regulation of translation during in vitro maturation of bovine oocytes: the role of MAP kinase, eIF4E (cap binding protein) phosphorylation, and eIF4E-BP1 [3].
  • The inability of Hsc70 to fully protect protein synthesis from inhibition induced by heat shock or GSSG was due to inability of Hsc70 to protect eIF-4 E from heat-induced dephosphorylation, and its inability to protect translational elongation from GSSG-induced inhibition, respectively [4].
 

Biological context of EIF4E

  • The eIF-4E mRNA level was significantly higher in the lactating mammary gland compared to the mammary tissues obtained from heifers during the third estrous cycle [5].
  • Elevated eIF-4E expression during lactation may be related to increased translation of certain mRNA or the acceleration of overall protein synthesis [5].
  • The results suggest that cPK could contribute to the insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of eIF-4E, but that protein phosphatase 2A may confer the site specificity of this response [2].
  • We show that during meiotic maturation of bovine oocytes, the translation initiation factor, eIF4E (the cap binding protein), gradually becomes phosphorylated [3].
  • However, although eIF4E is nearly fully phosphorylated in metaphase II oocytes, protein synthesis reaches only basal levels at this stage, similar to that of prophase I oocytes, in which the factor remains unphosphorylated [3].

Other interactions of EIF4E

  • By contrast, purified preparations of two forms of mitogen-activated protein kinase, casein kinase II and two forms of a distinct autophosphorylation-activated protein kinase exhibited little activity, if any, with eIF-4E [6].
