摘要:
Eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1) represses translation initiation by binding to eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E). 4E-BP1 also binds to the eIF4E homologous protein (4EHP). We show that eIF4E-binding mutants of 4E-BP1 (Y54A and L59A) fail to form heterodimeric complexes with wild-type 4EHP. In addition, the W95A mutant of 4EHP, similar to a homologous mutation in eIF4E, inhibits its binding to wild-type 4E-BP1. Interestingly, 4EHP over-expression instigates a negative feedback loop that inhibits upstream signaling to 4E-BP1 and ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 (S6K1) whereas the 4E-BP1-binding-deficient mutant of 4EHP(W95A) was unable to trigger this feedback loop. Thus, the interaction of 4EHP with 4E-BP1 is necessary for this observed impaired signaling to 4E-BP1 and S6K1.
