&cestchinlong;Visibly stressed: the role of eIF2, TIA-1, and stress granules in protein translation

Abstract: Eukaryotic cells express a family of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha (eIF2alpha) kinases (eg, PKR, PERK-PEK, GCN2, HRI) that are individually activated in response to distinct types of environmental stress. Phosphorylation of eIF2alpha by one or more of these kinases reduces the concentration of eIF2-guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-transfer ribonucleic acid for methionine (tRNA(Met)), the ternary complex that loads tRNA(Met) onto the small ribosomal subunit to initiate protein translation. When t… Show more

“…Under stressful conditions, TIA or TIAR proteins dramatically change their subcellular distribution to associate with SGs or P-bodies. 19 In higher plants, proteins of the oligouridylate-binding protein 1 family (UBP1s) are known as TIA-1/TIAR-related proteins, which were found to bind to a polyuridylate tract to enhance intron recognition, splicing, and mRNA accumulation. UBP1s are assembled into SGs under various stressful conditions.…”

“…However, TIA-1, which is essential for SG assembly (for review, see Anderson and Kedersha, 2002b) and one of its key components, displayed an altered localization in the respective cells. This finding is fairly interesting and clearly deserves further investigations.…”

“…GCN2 is activated by conditions of amino acid starvation and regulates protein synthesis through phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (eIF2α). The phosphorylation of eIF2α shuts down translation of mRNA and polysome formation and induces the formation of stress granules, which are small cytoplasmic vesicles that contain untranslated mRNA (56). Despite its key role in nutritional sensing and the stress response, GCN2's role in mediating immune response is poorly understood.…”

“…The metabolic system represents one of the most ancient homeostatic systems that are capable of responding to the most primal of environmental perturbations: changes in nutrient or oxygen conditions or other such perturbations. Mammals have evolved sensors of various such environmental stress signals-for example GCN2, protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase, and heme-regulated inhibitor kinasethat can sense such changes in environmental conditions and orchestrate responses like the integrated stress response (56). Subsequently, in evolution when cells evolved pathogensensing mechanisms, it is possible that some of the sensors and mechanisms that had evolved to detect metabolic changes were co-opted into the pathogen-sensing mechanism.…”
