The mRNA cap structure is bound by either the nuclear (CBC) or the cytoplasmic (eIF4F) cap binding complex. Following mRNA export, CBC must be exchanged for eIF4F in the cytoplasm. It is not known how this exchange occurs or how this RNP remodeling event is integrated with mRNA function. Here we report genetic and biochemical evidence that the yeast translation initiation factor eIF4G associates with CBC, and that eIF4E, the eIF4F component that binds both the cap and eIF4G, antagonizes this interaction. Furthermore, we find that CBC can stimulate translation in extracts containing an eIF4G protein deficient for eIF4E binding. These data suggest that eIF4E binding to the eIF4G-CBC complex on newly exported mRNA displaces CBC, and that the first round of translation on mRNA may occur via a different mechanism than subsequent rounds. 相似文献

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) binds to the m(7)GTP of capped mRNAs and is an essential component of the translational machinery that recruits the 40S small ribosomal subunit. We describe here the identification and characterization of two eIF4E homologues in an ancient protist, Giardia lamblia. Using m(7)GTP-Sepharose affinity column chromatography, a specific binding protein was isolated and identified as Giardia eIF4E2. The other homologue, Giardia eIF4E1, bound only to the m(2,2,7)GpppN structure. Although neither homologue can rescue the function of yeast eIF4E, a knockdown of eIF4E2 mRNA in Giardia by a virus-based antisense ribozyme decreased translation, which was shown to use m(7)GpppN-capped mRNA as a template. Thus, eIF4E2 is likely the cap-binding protein in a translation initiation complex. The same knockdown approach indicated that eIF4E1 is not required for translation in Giardia. Immunofluorescence assays showed wide distribution of both homologues in the cytoplasm. But eIF4E1 was also found concentrated and colocalized with the m(2,2,7)GpppN cap, 16S-like rRNA, and fibrillarin in the nucleolus-like structure in the nucleus. eIF4E1 depletion from Giardia did not affect mRNA splicing, but the protein was bound to Giardia small nuclear RNAs D and H known to have an m(2,2,7)GpppN cap, thus suggesting a novel function not yet observed among other eIF4Es in eukaryotes. 相似文献

The eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) controls gene expression through its effects on mRNA export and cap‐dependent translation, both of which contribute to its oncogenic potential. In contrast to its translation function, the mRNA export function of eIF4E is poorly understood. Using an RNP isolation/mass spectrometry approach, we identified candidate cofactors of eIF4E mRNA export including LRPPRC. This protein associates with mRNAs containing the eIF4E‐sensitivity element (4E‐SE), and its overexpression alters the nuclear export of several eIF4E‐sensitive mRNAs. LRPPRC‐mediated alteration of eIF4E's mRNA export function requires the integrity of its eIF4E‐binding site and it coincides with the subcellular re‐distribution of eIF4E. The eIF4E export RNP is distinct in composition from the bulk mRNA export pathway, in that eIF4E‐ and eIF4E‐sensitive mRNAs do not associate with general mRNA export factors such as TAP/NXF1 or REF/Aly. Our data indicate that mRNA export pathways have evolved for specific mRNAs enabling the differential regulation of biochemical pathways by modulating the expression of groups of genes at the level of their export. 相似文献

mRNA translation in crude extracts from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is stimulated by the cap structure and the poly(A) tail through the binding of the cap-binding protein eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) and the poly(A) tail-binding protein Pab1p. These proteins also bind to the translation initiation factor eIF4G and thereby link the mRNA to the general translational apparatus. In contrast, uncapped, poly(A)-deficient mRNA is translated poorly in yeast extracts, in part because of the absence of eIF4E and Pab1p binding sites on the mRNA. Here, we report that uncapped-mRNA translation is also repressed in yeast extracts due to the binding of eIF4E to eIF4G. Specifically, we find that mutations which weaken the eIF4E binding site on the yeast eIF4G proteins Tif4631p and Tif4632p lead to temperature-sensitive growth in vivo and the stimulation of uncapped-mRNA translation in vitro. A mutation in eIF4E which disturbs its ability to interact with eIF4G also leads to a stimulation of uncapped-mRNA translation in vitro. Finally, overexpression of eIF4E in vivo or the addition of excess eIF4E in vitro reverses these effects of the mutations. These data support the hypothesis that the eIF4G protein can efficiently stimulate translation of exogenous uncapped mRNA in extracts but is prevented from doing so as a result of its association with eIF4E. They also suggest that some mRNAs may be translationally regulated in vivo in response to the amount of free eIF4G in the cell. 相似文献

The interaction between the poly(A)‐binding protein (PABP) and eukaryotic translational initiation factor 4G (eIF4G), which brings about circularization of the mRNA, stimulates translation. General RNA‐binding proteins affect translation, but their role in mRNA circularization has not been studied before. Here, we demonstrate that the major mRNA ribonucleoprotein YB‐1 has a pivotal function in the regulation of eIF4F activity by PABP. In cell extracts, the addition of YB‐1 exacerbated the inhibition of 80S ribosome initiation complex formation by PABP depletion. Rabbit reticulocyte lysate in which PABP weakly stimulates translation is rendered PABP‐dependent after the addition of YB‐1. In this system, eIF4E binding to the cap structure is inhibited by YB‐1 and stimulated by a nonspecific RNA. Significantly, adding PABP back to the depleted lysate stimulated eIF4E binding to the cap structure more potently if this binding had been downregulated by YB‐1. Conversely, adding nonspecific RNA abrogated PABP stimulation of eIF4E binding. These data strongly suggest that competition between YB‐1 and eIF4G for mRNA binding is required for efficient stimulation of eIF4F activity by PABP. 相似文献

A novel inhibitor of cap-dependent translation initiation in yeast: p20 competes with eIF4G for binding to eIF4E. 总被引:11,自引:1,他引:10
In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae a small protein named p20 is found associated with translation initiation factor eIF4E, the mRNA cap-binding protein. We demonstrate here that p20 is a repressor of cap-dependent translation initiation. p20 shows amino acid sequence homology to a region of eIF4G, the large subunit of the cap-binding protein complex eIF4F, which carries the binding site for eIF4E. Both, eIF4G and p20 bind to eIF4E and compete with each other for binding to eIF4E. The eIF4E-p20 complex can bind to the cap structure and inhibit cap-dependent but not cap-independent translation initiation: the translation of a mRNA with the 67 nucleotide omega sequence of tobacco mosaic virus in its 5' untranslated region (which was previously shown to render translation cap-independent) is not inhibited by p20. Whereas the translation of the same mRNA lacking the omega sequence is strongly inhibited by p20. Disruption of CAF20, the gene encoding p20, stimulates the growth of yeast cells, overexpression of p20 causes slower growth of yeast cells. These results show that p20 is a regulator of eIF4E activity which represses cap-dependent initiation of translation by interfering with the interaction of eIF4E with eIF4G, e.g. the formation of the eIF4F-complex. 相似文献

The eIF4F cap-binding complex mediates the initiation of cellular mRNA translation. eIF4F is composed of eIF4E, which binds to the mRNA cap, eIF4G, which indirectly links the mRNA cap with the 43S pre-initiation complex, and eIF4A, which is a helicase necessary for initiation. Viral nucleocapsid proteins (N) function in both genome replication and RNA encapsidation. Surprisingly, we find that hantavirus N has multiple intrinsic activities that mimic and substitute for each of the three peptides of the cap-binding complex thereby enhancing the translation of viral mRNA. N binds with high affinity to the mRNA cap replacing eIF4E. N binds directly to the 43S pre-initiation complex facilitating loading of ribosomes onto capped mRNA functionally replacing eIF4G. Finally, N obviates the requirement for the helicase, eIF4A. The expression of a multifaceted viral protein that functionally supplants the cellular cap-binding complex is a unique strategy for viral mRNA translation initiation. The ability of N to directly mediate translation initiation would ensure the efficient translation of viral mRNA. 相似文献

Unlike other positive-stranded RNA viruses that use either a 5'-cap structure or an internal ribosome entry site to direct translation of their messenger RNA, calicivirus translation is dependent on the presence of a protein covalently linked to the 5' end of the viral genome (VPg). We have shown a direct interaction of the calicivirus VPg with the cap-binding protein eIF 4 E. This interaction is required for calicivirus mRNA translation, as sequestration of eIF 4 E by 4 E-BP 1 inhibits translation. Functional analysis has shown that VPg does not interfere with the interaction between eIF 4 E and the cap structure or 4 E-BP 1, suggesting that VPg binds to eIF 4 E at a different site from both cap and 4 E-BP 1. This work lends support to the idea that calicivirus VPg acts as a novel 'cap substitute' during initiation of translation on virus mRNA. 相似文献

eIF4E activity is regulated at multiple levels 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) is the cap‐binding protein that binds the 5′ cap structure of cellular messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Despite the obligatory role of eIF4E in cap‐dependent mRNA translation, how the translation activity of eIF4E is controlled remains largely undefined. Here, we report that mammalian eIF4E is regulated by SUMO1 (small ubiquitin‐related modifier 1) conjugation. eIF4E sumoylation promotes the formation of the active eIF4F translation initiation complex and induces the translation of a subset of proteins that are essential for cell proliferation and preventing apoptosis. Furthermore, disruption of eIF4E sumoylation inhibits eIF4E‐dependent protein translation and abrogates the oncogenic and antiapoptotic functions associated with eIF4E. These data indicate that sumoylation is a new fundamental regulatory mechanism of protein synthesis. Our findings suggest further that eIF4E sumoylation might be important in promoting human cancers. 相似文献

Stabilization of eukaryotic initiation factor 4E binding to the mRNA 5'-Cap by domains of eIF4G 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The eukaryotic cap-binding complex eIF4F is an essential component of the translational machinery. Recognition of the mRNA cap structure through its subunit eIF4E is a requirement for the recruitment of other translation initiation factors to the mRNA 5'-end and thereby for the attachment of the 40 S ribosomal subunit. In this study, we have investigated the mechanistic basis of the observation that eIF4E binding to the cap is enhanced in the presence of the large eIF4F subunit, eIF4G. We show that eIF4E requires access to both the mRNA 5'-cap and eIF4G to form stable complexes with short RNAs. This stabilization can be achieved using fragments of eIF4G that contain the eIF4E binding site but not the RNA recognition motifs. Full-length eIF4G is shown to induce increased eIF4E binding to cap analogues that do not contain an RNA body. Both results show that interaction of eIF4G with the mRNA is not necessary to enhance cap binding by eIF4E. Moreover, we show that the effect of binding of full-length eIF4G on the cap affinity of eIF4E can be further modulated through binding of Pab1 to eIF4G. These data are consistent with a model in which heterotropic cooperativity underlies eIF4F function. 相似文献

Metazoan cell cycle-regulated histone mRNAs are unique cellular mRNAs in that they terminate in a highly conserved stem-loop structure instead of a poly(A) tail. Not only is the stem-loop structure necessary for 3'-end formation but it regulates the stability and translational efficiency of histone mRNAs. The histone stem-loop structure is recognized by the stem-loop-binding protein (SLBP), which is required for the regulation of mRNA processing and turnover. In this study, we show that SLBP is required for the translation of mRNAs containing the histone stem-loop structure. Moreover, we show that the translation of mRNAs ending in the histone stem-loop is stimulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells expressing mammalian SLBP. The translational function of SLBP genetically required eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E), eIF4G, and eIF3, and expressed SLBP coisolated with S. cerevisiae initiation factor complexes that bound the 5' cap in a manner dependent on eIF4G and eIF3. Furthermore, eIF4G coimmunoprecipitated with endogenous SLBP in mammalian cell extracts and recombinant SLBP and eIF4G coisolated. These data indicate that SLBP stimulates the translation of histone mRNAs through a functional interaction with both the mRNA stem-loop and the 5' cap that is mediated by eIF4G and eIF3. 相似文献

Initiation is a highly regulated rate-limiting step of mRNA translation. During cap-dependent translation, the cap-binding protein eIF4E recruits the mRNA to the ribosome. Specific elements in the 5′UTR of some mRNAs referred to as Internal Ribosome Entry Sites (IRESes) allow direct association of the mRNA with the ribosome without the requirement for eIF4E. Cap-independent initiation permits translation of a subset of cellular and viral mRNAs under conditions wherein cap-dependent translation is inhibited, such as stress, mitosis and viral infection. DAP5 is an eIF4G homolog that has been proposed to regulate both cap-dependent and cap-independent translation. Herein, we demonstrate that DAP5 associates with eIF2β and eIF4AI to stimulate IRES-dependent translation of cellular mRNAs. In contrast, DAP5 is dispensable for cap-dependent translation. These findings provide the first mechanistic insights into the function of DAP5 as a selective regulator of cap-independent translation. 相似文献

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) is essential for efficient translation of the vast majority of capped cellular mRNAs; it binds the 5'-methylated guanosine cap of mRNA and serves as a nucleation point for the assembly of the 48S preinitiation complex. eIF4E is phosphorylated in vivo at residue 209 of the human sequence. The phosphorylated form is often regarded as the active state of the protein, with ribosome-associated eIF4E enriched for the phosphorylated form and increased phosphorylation often correlated with upregulation of rates of protein synthesis. However, the only reported measured effect attributable to phosphorylation at the physiological site has been a relatively small increase in the affinity of eIF4E for the mRNA m7GTP cap structure. Here, we provide data to suggest that phosphorylation of eIF4E at Ser209 is not required for translation. eIF4E that is modified such that it cannot be phosphorylated (Ser209-->Ala), is unimpaired in its ability to restore translation to an eIF4E-dependent in vitro translation system. In addition, both the wild-type and mutant forms of eIF4E interact equally well with eIF4G, with the phosphorylation of eIF4E not required to effect the change in conformation of eIF4G that is required for efficient cleavage of eIF4G by L-protease. Furthermore, we show that wild-type and phosphorylation-site variants of eIF4E protein are equally able to rescue the lethal phenotype of eIF4E deletion in S. cerevisiae. 相似文献

Tristetraprolin (TTP) regulates the expression of AU-rich element-containing mRNAs through promoting the degradation and repressing the translation of target mRNA. While the mechanism for promoting target mRNA degradation has been extensively studied, the mechanism underlying translational repression is not well established. Here, we show that TTP recruits eukaryotic initiation factor 4E2 (eIF4E2) to repress target mRNA translation. TTP interacted with eIF4E2 but not with eIF4E. Overexpression of eIF4E2 enhanced TTP-mediated translational repression, and downregulation of endogenous eIF4E2 or overexpression of a truncation mutant of eIF4E2 impaired TTP-mediated translational repression. Overexpression of an eIF4E2 mutant that lost the cap-binding activity also impaired TTP''s activity, suggesting that the cap-binding activity of eIF4E2 is important in TTP-mediated translational repression. We further show that TTP promoted eIF4E2 binding to target mRNA. These results imply that TTP recruits eIF4E2 to compete with eIF4E to repress the translation of target mRNA. This notion is supported by the finding that downregulation of endogenous eIF4E2 increased the production of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) protein without affecting the mRNA levels in THP-1 cells. Collectively, these results uncover a novel mechanism by which TTP represses target mRNA translation. 相似文献

The eukaryotic initiation factor 4G (eIF4G) is the core of a multicomponent switch controlling gene expression at the level of translation initiation. It interacts with the small ribosomal subunit interacting protein, eIF3, and the eIF4E/cap-mRNA complex in order to load the ribosome onto mRNA during cap-dependent translation. We describe the solution structure of the complex between yeast eIF4E/cap and eIF4G (393-490). Binding triggers a coupled folding transition of eIF4G (393-490) and the eIF4E N terminus resulting in a molecular bracelet whereby eIF4G (393-490) forms a right-handed helical ring that wraps around the N terminus of eIF4E. Cofolding allosterically enhances association of eIF4E with the cap and is required for maintenance of optimal growth and polysome distributions in vivo. Our data explain how mRNA, eIF4E, and eIF4G exists as a stable mRNP that may facilitate multiple rounds of ribosomal loading during translation initiation, a key determinant in the overall rate of protein synthesis. 相似文献

Ribosome recruitment to the majority of eukaryotic mRNAs is facilitated by the interaction of the cap binding protein, eIF4E, with the mRNA 5' cap structure. eIF4E stimulates translation through its interaction with a scaffolding protein, eIF4G, which helps to recruit the ribosome. Metazoans also contain a homolog of eIF4E, termed 4EHP, which binds the cap structure, but not eIF4G, and thus cannot stimulate translation, but it instead inhibits the translation of only one known, and possibly subset mRNAs. To understand why 4EHP does not inhibit general translation, we studied the binding affinity of 4EHP for cap analogs using two methods: fluorescence titration and stopped-flow measurements. We show that 4EHP binds cap analogs m(7)GpppG and m(7)GTP with 30 and 100 lower affinity than eIF4E. Thus, 4EHP cannot compete with eIF4E for binding to the cap structure of most mRNAs. 相似文献
