    text
  • predominantly cytoplasmic
  • basic FUNCTION
  • mediating the nuclear import of EIF4E by a piggy-back mechanism
  • shuttling between the nucleus and the cytoplasm in a CRM1-dependent manner
  • P bodies (PB) assembly is regulated by a two-step mechanism involving a EIF4ENIF1-dependent assembly stage in unstressed cells and a EIF4ENIF1 phosphorylation-dependent aggregation stage in response to stress stimuli
  • acting as a translation initiation factor
  • conserved yet unconventional mechanism of EIF4ENIF1 silencing of particular subsets of mRNAs
  • promotes mRNA turnover by physically linking the 3prime-terminal mRNA decay machinery to the 5prime cap via its interaction with EIF4E
  • CELLULAR PROCESS protein, translation/synthesis
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS cellular trafficking transport
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • component of a complex with importin A and B mediating the nuclear import of EIF4E
  • EIF4E/EIF4ENIF1 complex is present in granules with the processing body proteins LSM1 and DDX6, and disruption of this complex causes premature and enhanced neurogenesis and neural precursor depletion
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with EIF4E
  • interacting with importin beta via a direct interaction with importin alpha
  • binding to mRNA 5'cap-binding protein
  • must interact with EIF4E to engender mRNA decay
  • DDX6 interacts with the CNOT1 complex and functions in concert with several post-transcriptional regulators, including EDC3, and EIF4ENIF1
  • DDX6-EIF4ENIF1 interaction mediates translational repression and P-body assembly
