Translation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: initiation factor 4A-dependent cell-free system.
Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes TIF1 and TIF2 (translation initiation factor) encode a protein tentatively called translation initiation factor (Tif) due to the similarity of its amino acid sequence and its molecular weight to mammalian eukaryotic initiation factor 4A. To clarify whether Tif is involved in translation, we produced an affinity-purified anti-Tif antibody by using Tif isolate...
متن کاملEukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E-dependent translation is not essential for survival of starved yeast cells.
The eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) interacts with the mRNA 5' cap structure (m(7)GpppX) and is essential for the appropriate translation of the vast majority of eukaryotic mRNAs. Most studies of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae CDC33 gene product, eIF4E, have been carried out with logarithmically growing cells, and little is known about its role in starved, nonproliferati...
متن کاملThe Saccharomyces cerevisiae homologue of mammalian translation initiation factor 6 does not function as a translation initiation factor.
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 6 (eIF6) binds to the 60S ribosomal subunit and prevents its association with the 40S ribosomal subunit. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene that encodes the 245-amino-acid eIF6 (calculated Mr 25,550), designated TIF6, has been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified recombinant protein prevents association between 40S and 60S ribosomal subu...
متن کاملTargeting the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E for cancer therapy.
The eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) is frequently overexpressed in human cancers in relation to disease progression and drives cellular transformation, tumorigenesis, and metastatic progression in experimental models. Enhanced eIF4E function results from eIF4E overexpression and/or activation of the ras and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/AKT pathways and selectively increases...
متن کاملMultiple mRNAs encode the murine translation initiation factor eIF-4E.
All eukaryotic cellular mRNAs (except organellar) possess at their 5' end the structure m7GpppX (where X is any nucleotide) termed the "cap." The cap structure facilitates the melting of mRNA 5' secondary structure through the action of initiation factor-4F (eIF-4F) in conjunction with eIF-4B. eIF-4F consists of three subunits of which one, eIF-4E (eIF-4E has recently been designated eIF-4 alph...
