The cap-binding complex eIF-4F plays a major role in the control of translation initiation, and overexpression of its limiting subunit, eIF-4E, leads to the deregulation of cellular growth. The recent cloning of eIF-4E binding proteins (4E-BPs) has uncovered a previously unsuspected pathway for the regulation of eIF-4E activity, through sequestration of eIF-4E as a complex with 4E-BPs.
帽结合复合物eIF-4F在翻译起始的控制中起主要作用,其限制性亚基eIF-4E的过表达会导致细胞生长失调。最近对eIF-4E结合蛋白(4E-BPs)的克隆揭示了一条以前未被怀疑的调节eIF-4E活性的途径,即通过将eIF-4E与4E-BPs形成复合物而使其隔离。
