Disease relevance of CDC33

  • We describe a simple and rapid purification scheme that can yield 2-5 micrograms of a homogenous and active preparation of eIF-4E from 1 ml of E. coli culture [1].
  • Messenger RNAs encoding chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) with or without the 5'-leader sequence of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) RNA were synthesized in vitro and translated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae extracts dependent on eukaryotic initiation factors eIF-4E or eIF-4A [2].
  • This failure to bind correlated with resistance or reduced susceptibility, suggesting that interruption of the interaction between VPg and this eIF4E paralog may be necessary, but is not sufficient for potyvirus resistance in vivo [3].
  • Effective expression of the active eIF-4E was achieved in the soluble fraction of the insect cell Sf9, which was infected with the recombinant baculovirus [4].
 

High impact information on CDC33

  • It interacts with the small ribosomal subunit interacting protein, eIF3, and the eIF4E/cap-mRNA complex in order to load the ribosome onto mRNA during cap-dependent translation [5].
  • Cofolding allosterically enhances association of eIF4E with the cap and is required for maintenance of optimal growth and polysome distributions in vivo [5].
  • We find that Pab1p but not the cap binding protein eIF-4E is required for poly(A) tail-dependent translation, and that the Pab1p-poly(A) tail complex functions to recruit the 40S ribosomal subunit to the mRNA [6].
  • Using distinct vesicular transport mutants and chlorpromazine, we have identified the eIF2alpha kinase Gcn2p and the eIF4E binding protein Eap1p as major mediators of the translation attenuation response [7].
  • Here we report genetic and biochemical evidence that the yeast translation initiation factor eIF4G associates with CBC, and that eIF4E, the eIF4F component that binds both the cap and eIF4G, antagonizes this interaction [8].

Associations of CDC33 with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of CDC33

  • Specifically, we find that mutations which weaken the eIF4E binding site on the yeast eIF4G proteins Tif4631p and Tif4632p lead to temperature-sensitive growth in vivo and the stimulation of uncapped-mRNA translation in vitro [10].
  • High-copy expression of a mutant eIF4G defective for eIF4E binding resulted in a dominant negative phenotype in an xrn1 mutant, indicating the importance of this interaction in an xrn1 mutant [20].
  • NMD can trigger decay during any round of translation and can target Cbc-bound or eIF-4E-bound transcripts [21].
  • The cap binding protein eIF-4E copurifies with Ebs1p in the absence of RNA, suggesting that the two proteins interact in vivo [22].
  • In yeast, EAP1 encodes a protein that binds eIF4E and inhibits cap-dependent translation in vitro [11] [13].
 

Regulatory relationships of CDC33

  • In addition, we demonstrate that in vivo a temperature-sensitive allele of eIF4E (cdc33-42) suppressed the decapping defect of a partial loss-of-function allele of DCP1 [23].
  • The mutagenized gene was reintroduced on a plasmid into S. cerevisiae cells having their only wild-type eIF-4E gene on a plasmid under the control of the regulatable GAL1 promoter [17].
  • This suggests that serum stimulates the interaction between eIF4G and PABP by a distinct mechanism that is independent of both the mTOR pathway and the enhanced association of eIF4G with eIF4E [24].
 

Other interactions of CDC33

  • These experiments indicated that eIF4E is an inhibitor of Dcp1p in vitro due to its ability to bind the 5' cap structure [23].
  • This lengthened 5'-untranslated region likely reduces translation efficiency and down-regulates CLN3 protein synthesis, thereby correcting for the excess translation promoted by elevated Cdc33 [11].
  • Thus, the inhibition of mRNA turnover by blocking Xrn1p function does not suppress the lethality of defects upstream in the turnover pathway but it does enhance the requirement for (7)mG caps and for proper formation of the eIF4E/eIF4G cap recognition complex [20].
  • A cdc33-1 strain expressing either stable Cln3p (Cln3-1p) or a hybrid UBI4 5'-CLN3 mRNA, whose translation displays decreased dependence on eIF4E, arrested randomly in the cell cycle [25].
  • Another allele of CDC33, cdc33-1, along with mutations in CEG1, encoding the nuclear guanylyltransferase, were also synthetic lethal with xrn1Delta, whereas mutations in PRT1, encoding a subunit of eIF3, were not [20].
