Disease relevance of EIF3S8

 

High impact information on EIF3S8

  • We show that the binding site for eIF2beta is located in a surface area containing aromatic and acidic residues (aromatic/acidic boxes), that the binding sites for eIF1 and eIF3c are located in a conserved surface region of basic residues, and that eIF4G binds eIF5-CTD at an interface overlapping with the acidic area [2].
  • We found that schwannomin was most effective for inhibiting cellular proliferation when eIF3c was highly expressed [3].
  • We identified the p110 subunit of the eukaryotic initiation factor 3 (eIF3c) as a schwannomin interacting protein [3].
  • The IF5-CTD interacts directly with the translation initiation factors eIF1, eIF2-beta, and eIF3c, thus forming together with eIF2 bound Met-tRNA(i)(Met) the MFC [4].
 

Other interactions of EIF3S8

  • Schwannomin inhibits tumorigenesis through direct interaction with the eukaryotic initiation factor subunit c (eIF3c) [3].
