The recognition of the 5'mRNA cap structure m7G(5')ppp(5')N by one of the components of the initiation translation machinery, the eIF4E factor, plays a pivotal role in regulation of the protein synthesis. In the present study we have shown two opposing roles of the cap phosphate chain in the specific eIF4E-cap interaction. The extension of the phosphate chain enhances the binding of the cap to the unphosphorylated eIF4E but destabilises the eIF4E-cap complex in case of the phosphorylated protein.
起始翻译机制的组成部分之一eIF4E因子对5'mRNA帽结构m7G(5')ppp(5')N的识别在蛋白质合成调控中起关键作用。在本研究中,我们展示了帽磷酸链在特定的eIF4E-帽相互作用中的两种相反作用。磷酸链的延长增强了帽与未磷酸化的eIF4E的结合,但在蛋白质磷酸化的情况下会使eIF4E-帽复合物不稳定。
