High impact information on EIF4E2

  • Cloning and characterization of 4EHP, a novel mammalian eIF4E-related cap-binding protein [1].
  • The putative promoter of EIF4E2 contained no TATA box but did contain a transcription initiator region (Inr) and numerous other sequence motifs characteristic of regulated promoters [2].
  • One of the genes (EIF4E1) contained six introns, but the other gene (EIF4E2) was intronless, flanked by Alu sequences and 14-base pair (bp) direct repeats, and terminated by a short poly(A) stretch, all characteristics of retrotransposons [2].
  • EIF4E2 contained only two of the three polyadenylation signals present in EIF4E1 [2].
 

Biological context of EIF4E2

  • Numerous additional intronless eIF4E pseudogenes were found, but unlike EIF4E2, all contained premature in-frame stop codons [2].
 

Other interactions of EIF4E2

  • We report that 4EHP is modified by ISG15 and ISGylated 4EHP has a much higher cap structure-binding activity [3].
