Preparations of either crude or purified protein synthesis initiation factors, when tested by crosslinking to the m7G-cap structure of mRNAs, exhibit specific crosslinking to an 80-kDa protein. Polyclonal antibodies specific for eIF-4B precipitate the 80-kDa cap-radiolabeled protein, thereby demonstrating that eIF-4B binds mRNA near its 5'-terminus.
当通过与mRNA的m7G帽结构交联进行测试时,粗制或纯化的蛋白质合成起始因子制剂均显示出与一种80 kDa蛋白质的特异性交联。针对eIF-4B的多克隆抗体沉淀出80 kDa帽放射性标记的蛋白质,从而证明eIF-4B在其5'末端附近结合mRNA。
