The Role of eIF2B Localisation in Cell-specific Stress Responses
Filipe Hanson
Abstract:Eukaryotic initiation factor 2B (eIF2B) is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) and a master regulator of translation control. eIF2B recycles inactive eIF2- GDP to active eIF2-GTP. Under transient/acute cellular stress, a family of kinases phosphorylate the alpha subunit of eIF2 at serine 51 (eIF2α-P) activating the integrated stress response (ISR). This response pathway inhibits eIF2B activity resulting in overall translation attenuation and reprogramming of gene expression to overcome cellular stress. … Show more
