Abstract:The eukaryotic cap-binding complex (CBC) is a hub for regulations affecting mRNA behaviour including translation, degradation and storage. Beside the core eukaryotic translation initiation factors, other proteins, many of which are yet unknown, are thought to interact stably or transiently with the CBC depending on cell status. The prototype of these regulators is the animal eIF4E binding protein (4E-BP), a direct target of the TOR (Target of Rapamycin) kinase that competes with the cap-binding protein eIF4E, … Show more
