PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • a RNA binding domain,a large middle alpha helical domain, RNA binding
  • the second binding site of EIF4G1 is important to understand the functional difference between EIF4G1 and EIF4BP1 for EIF4E translation
  • a C terminal eIF-5 domain maybe involved in interactions with eIF-2, and two atypical HEAT-repeat domains, supporting translational regulation by recruiting eIF4A, an RNA helicase, and MKNk1
    • HOMOLOGY
    Homologene
    FAMILY eukaryotic translation initiation factor EIF4 family
    CATEGORY chaperone/stress , RNA associated
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic,ribosome
    basic FUNCTION
  • mRNA cap recognition, ATP-dependent unwinding of 5' terminal secondary structure (helicase activity) and recruitment of mRNA to ribosome
  • involved in the binding of mRNA cap structure to ribosome
  • increasing the poly (A)-binding protein (PABPx) RNA binding activity
  • plays a critical role in mRNA recruitment to the ribosomes
  • serves as a central adapter in cap-binding complex assembly
  • is potentially necessary for maintenance of neuronal viability
    • CELLULAR PROCESS protein, translation/synthesis
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • scaffold protein for the assembly of eIF4A, eIF4B, eIF4E, MKNK1, EIF4EBPs, PABPC1 to form the eukaryotic translation initiation complex eIF4F
    • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • binding to other EIFs
  • interacting with the poly (A)-binding protein (PABPx)
  • interacting with EIF4E3
  • NCBP1, NCBP2 independently interact with EIF4G1 (EIF4G1 potentially serves to connect NCBP1/NCBP2 with other initiation factors during the pioneer round of translation)
  • EIF4G1-PABPC1 interaction has been implicated in enhancing the formation of 48 S and 80 S initiation complexes and ribosome recycling through mRNA circularization
  • original role of NQO1 in the regulation of mRNA translation via the control of EIF4GI stability by the proteasome
  • PRKCA activation elicits a cascade of orchestrated phosphorylation events that may modulate EIF4G1 structure and control interaction with the EIF4E kinase, MKNK1
  • EIF4E serves as a master switch that controls mRNA translation through the promotive binding to EIF4G1 and the regulative binding with the endogenous inhibitor EIF4EBP1

    REGULATION
    Other calpain-mediated degradation of EIF4G1, is a cause of both persistent persistent protein synthesis inhibition and neuronal death
    regulation of EIF4GI stability by the proteasome may be prominent under oxidative stress
