    basic FUNCTION
  • regulating EIF4G-dependent translation through direct interaction with EIF4G and RPS13 in senescent fibroblasts
  • inhibiting the translation initiation factor EIF4A
  • inhibiting tumor promoter-induced neoplastic transformation
  • down-regulating the expression of MAP4K1, thus inhibiting events important in driving invasion, namely, MAPK85 activation and consequent JUN-dependent transcription
  • inhibit invasion by activating activator protein-1 (AP-1) (Leupold 2007)
  • inhibits invasion/intravasation and regulates urokinase receptor PLAUR gene expression via Sp-transcription factors (Leupold 2007)

    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • form a tighter and more stable complex with EIF4A, which explains the need for two tandem MA3 domains

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA binding
    small molecule
    protein
  • binding to EIF4A presumably through MA3 domains and to EIF4G (PDCD4 MA3 domains compete with the eIF4G-MA3 and with RNA for binding to EIF4A)
  • negative correlation between the expression of FAT1 and PDCD4
    • cell & other
    REGULATION
    inhibited by IL2 stimulation
    Other phosphorylated by S6K1 in response to mitogens and subsequently degraded via the ubiquitin ligase SCF-beta, allowing efficient proteins synthesis and cell growth
