    • Detection Method:
    • Colorimetric
    • Background:
    • caution:Was originally thought to be phosphorylated on Ser-53 (PubMed:3112145); this was later shown to be wrong (PubMed:7665584).,function:Recognizes and binds the 7-methylguanosine-containing mRNA cap during an early step in the initiation of protein synthesis and facilitates ribosome binding by inducing the unwinding of the mRNAs secondary structures.,PTM:Phosphorylation increases the ability of the protein to bind to mRNA caps and to form the eIF4F complex.,similarity:Belongs to the eukaryotic initiation factor 4E family.,subunit:eIF4F is a multi-subunit complex, the composition of which varies with external and internal environmental conditions. It is composed of at least EIF4A, EIF4E and EIF4G1/EIF4G3. EIF4E is also known to interact with other partners. The interaction with EIF4ENIF1 mediates the import into the nucleus. Nonphosphorylated EIF4EBP1, EIF4EBP2 and EIF4EBP3 compete with EIF4G1/EIF4G3 to interact with EIF4E; insulin stimulated MAP-kinase (MAPK1 and MAPK3) phosphorylation of EIF4EBP1 causes dissociation of the complex allowing EIF4G1/EIF4G3 to bind and consequent initiation of translation. Rapamycin can attenuate insulin stimulation, mediated by FKBPs. Interacts mutually exclusive with EIF4A1 and EIF4A2. Interacts with NGDN and PIWIL2 (By similarity). Interacts with Lassa virus Z protein.,
    • Function:
    • translation, translational initiation, regulation of translation, posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression,regulation of cellular protein metabolic process,
    • Subcellular Location:
    • Cytoplasm, P-body . Cytoplasm . Cytoplasm, Stress granule . Nucleus . Interaction with EIF4ENIF1/4E-T is required for localization to processing bodies (P-bodies) (PubMed:16157702, PubMed:24335285, PubMed:25923732). Imported in the nucleus via interaction with EIF4ENIF1/4E-T via a piggy-back mechanism (PubMed:10856257). .
