Insulin rapidly stimulates protein synthesis in a wide variety of tissues. This stimulation is associated with phosphorylation of several translational initiation and elongation factors, but little is known about the signaling pathways to these events. To study these pathways, we have used a myeloid progenitor cell line (32D) which is dependent on interleukin 3 but insensitive to insulin because of the very low levels of insulin receptor (IR) and the complete lack of insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-signaling proteins (IRS-1 and IRS-2). Expression of more IR permits partial stimulation of mitogen-activated protein kinase by insulin, and expression of IRS-1 alone mediates insulin stimulation of the 70-kDa S6 kinase (pp70S6K) by the endogenous IR. However, expression of both IR and IRS-1 is required for stimulation of protein synthesis. Moreover, this effect requires activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), as determined by wortmannin inhibition and the use of an IRS-1 variant lacking all Tyr residues except those which activate PI3K. Stimulation of general protein synthesis does not involve activation by IRS-1 of GRB-2-SOS-p21ras or SH-PTP2, since IRS-1 variants lacking the SH2-binding Tyr residues for these proteins are fully active. Nor does it involve pp70S6K, since rapamycin, while strongly inhibiting the synthesis of a small subset of growth-regulated proteins, only slightly inhibits total protein synthesis. Recruitment of mRNAs to the ribosome is enhanced by phosphorylation of eIF4E, the cap-binding protein, and PHAS-I, a protein that specifically binds eIF4E. The behavior of cell lines containing IRS-1 variants and inhibition by wortmannin and rapamycin indicate that the phosphorylation of both proteins requires IRS-1-mediated stimulation of PI3K and pp70S6K but not mitogen-activated protein kinase or SH-PTP2. 相似文献

Ubiquitination and proteasome-dependent degradation of human eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) is a cytoplasmic cap-binding protein that is required for cap-dependent translation initiation. Here, we have shown that eIF4E is ubiquitinated primarily at Lys-159 and incubation of cells with a proteasome inhibitor leads to increased eIF4E levels, suggesting the proteasome-dependent proteolysis of ubiquitinated eIF4E. Ubiquitinated eIF4E retained its cap binding ability, whereas eIF4E phosphorylation and eIF4G binding were reduced by ubiquitination. The W73A mutant of eIF4E exhibited enhanced ubiquitination/degradation, and 4E-BP overexpression protected eIF4E from ubiquitination/degradation. Because heat shock or the expression of the carboxyl terminus of heat shock cognate protein 70-interacting protein (Chip) dramatically increased eIF4E ubiquitination, Chip may be at least one ubiquitin E3 ligase responsible for eIF4E ubiquitination. 相似文献

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) binds to the cap structure at the 5' end of mRNAs and is a critical target for the control of protein synthesis. eIF4E is phosphorylated in many systems in response to extracellular stimuli, but biochemical evidence to date has been equivocal as to the biological significance of this modification. Here we use a genetic approach to this problem. We show that, in Drosophila melanogaster, homozygous eIF4E mutants arrest growth during larval development. In Drosophila eIF4EI, Ser251 corresponds to Ser209 of mammalian eIF4E, which is phosphorylated in response to extracellular signals. We find that, in vivo, eIF4EI Ser251 mutants cannot incorporate labeled phosphate. Furthermore, transgenic Drosophila organisms expressing eIF4E(Ser251Ala) in an eIF4E mutant background have reduced viability. Escapers develop more slowly than control siblings and are smaller. These genetic data provide evidence that eIF4E phosphorylation is biologically significant and is essential for normal growth and development. 相似文献

Several cytoplasmic polyadenylation element (CPE)-containing mRNAs that are repressed in Xenopus oocytes become active during meiotic maturation. A group of factors that are anchored to the CPE are responsible for this repression and activation. Two of the most important are CPEB, which binds directly to the CPE, and Maskin, which associates with CPEB. In oocytes, Maskin also binds eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E), an interaction that excludes eIF4G and prevents formation of the eIF4F initiation complex. When the oocytes are stimulated to reenter the meiotic divisions (maturation), CPEB promotes cytoplasmic polyadenylation. The newly elongated poly(A) tail becomes bound by poly(A) binding protein (PABP), which in turn binds eIF4G and helps it displace Maskin from eIF4E, thereby inducing translation. Here we show that Maskin undergoes several phosphorylation events during oocyte maturation, some of which are important for its dissociation from eIF4E and translational activation of CPE-containing mRNA. These sites are T58, S152, S311, S343, S453, and S638 and are phosphorylated by cdk1. Mutation of these sites to alanine alleviates the cdk1-induced dissociation of Maskin from eIF4E. Prior to maturation, Maskin is phosphorylated on S626 by protein kinase A. While this modification has no detectable effect on translation during oocyte maturation, it is critical for this protein to localize on the mitotic apparatus in somatic cells. These results show that Maskin activity and localization is controlled by differential phosphorylation. 相似文献

Serum-stimulated, rapamycin-sensitive phosphorylation sites in the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4GI 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

The eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4G (eIF4G) proteins play a critical role in the recruitment of the translational machinery to mRNA. The eIF4Gs are phosphoproteins. However, the location of the phosphorylation sites, how phosphorylation of these proteins is modulated and the identity of the intracellular signaling pathways regulating eIF4G phosphorylation have not been established. In this report, two-dimensional phosphopeptide mapping demonstrates that the phosphorylation state of specific eIF4GI residues is altered by serum and mitogens. Phosphopeptides resolved by this method were mapped to the C-terminal one-third of the protein. Mass spectrometry and mutational analyses identified the serum-stimulated phosphorylation sites in this region as serines 1108, 1148 and 1192. Phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors and rapamycin, an inhibitor of the kinase FRAP/mTOR (FKBP12-rapamycin-associated protein/mammalian target of rapamycin), prevent the serum-induced phosphorylation of these residues. Finally, the phosphorylation state of N-terminally truncated eIF4GI proteins acquires resistance to kinase inhibitor treatment. These data suggest that the kinases phosphorylating serines 1108, 1148 and 1192 are not directly downstream of PI3K and FRAP/mTOR, but that the accessibility of the C-terminus to kinases is modulated by this pathway(s). 相似文献

Eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) controls a crucial step of translation initiation and is critical for cell growth . Biochemical studies have shown that it undergoes a regulated phosphorylation by the MAP-kinase signal-integrating kinases Mnk1 and Mnk2 . Although the role of eIF4E phosphorylation in mammalian cells has remained elusive , recent work in Drosophila has established that it is required for growth and development . Here, we demonstrate that a previously identified Drosophila kinase called Lk6 is the functional homolog of mammalian Mnk kinases. We generated lk6 loss-of-function alleles and found that eIF4E phosphorylation is dramatically reduced in lk6 mutants. Importantly, lk6 mutants exhibit reduced viability, slower development, and reduced adult size, demonstrating that Lk6 function is required for organismal growth. Moreover, we show that uniform lk6 expression rescues the lethality of eIF4E hypomorphic mutants in an eIF4E phosphorylation site-dependent manner and that the two proteins participate in a common complex in Drosophila S2 cells, confirming the functional link between Lk6 and eIF4E. This work demonstrates that Lk6 exerts a tight control on eIF4E phosphorylation and is necessary for normal growth and development. 相似文献

Aptamers are short single-stranded DNA or RNA sequences that are selected in vitro based on their high affinity to a target molecule. Here we demonstrate that an RNA aptamer selected against eukaryotic initiation factor 4A (eIF4A) serves as an efficient biosensor. The aptamer, when immobilized to resin, purifies eIF4A from crude cell extracts by affinity pull-down, and 32P-labeled aptamer can detect some 300 ng of eIF4A by dot-blot analysis. Moreover, by use of an aptamer-immobilized sensor chip, we developed a surface plasmon resonance assay to detect eIF4A at the nanogram level within whole cell lysates after optimizing sample preparation, thereby showing a real-time sensor for eIF4A in cell extract solution. 相似文献

Cytoplasmic aggregates known as stress granules (SGs) arise as a consequence of cellular stress and contain stalled translation preinitiation complexes. These foci are thought to serve as sites of mRNA storage or triage during the cell stress response. SG formation has been shown to require induction of eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF)2α phosphorylation. Herein, we investigate the potential role of other initiation factors in this process and demonstrate that interfering with eIF4A activity, an RNA helicase required for the ribosome recruitment phase of translation initiation, induces SG formation and that this event is not dependent on eIF2α phosphorylation. We also show that inhibition of eIF4A activity does not impair the ability of eIF2α to be phosphorylated under stress conditions. Furthermore, we observed SG assembly upon inhibition of cap-dependent translation after poliovirus infection. We propose that SG modeling can occur via both eIF2α phosphorylation-dependent and -independent pathways that target translation initiation. 相似文献

In a previous study we demonstrated a requirement for activation of mTORC1 in the stimulation of eIF2Bepsilon mRNA translation in skeletal muscle in response to resistance exercise. Although that study established the necessity of mTORC1 activation, the experimental model used did not lend itself readily to address the question of whether or not mTORC1 activation was sufficient to produce the response. Therefore, the present study was designed to address the sufficiency of mTORC1 activation, using cultures of Rat2 fibroblasts in which mTORC1 signaling was repressed by serum/leucine-depletion and stimulated by repletion of leucine and/or IGF-1. Repletion with leucine and IGF-1 caused a shift of eIF2Bepsilon mRNA into actively translating polysomes and a stimulation of new eIF2Bepsilon protein synthesis, but had no effect on mRNAs encoding the other four eIF2B subunits. Stimulation of eIF2Bepsilon translation was reversed by pre-treatment with the mTORC1 inhibitor rapamycin. Exogenous overexpression of FLAG-Rheb, a proximal activator of mTORC1, also caused a re-distribution of eIF2Bepsilon mRNA into polysomes and a stimulation of eIF2Bepsilon protein synthesis. The stimulation of eIF2Bepsilon mRNA translation occurred in the absence of any effect on eIF2Bepsilon mRNA abundance. RNAi-mediated knockdown of eIF2Bepsilon resulted in reduced cellular proliferation, a result that phenocopied the known cytostatic effect of mTORC1 repression. Overall the results demonstrate that activation of mTORC1 is both necessary and sufficient to stimulate eIF2Bepsilon mRNA translation and that this response may represent a novel mechanism through which mTORC1 can affect mRNA translation initiation, rates of protein synthesis, and cellular growth/proliferation. 相似文献

Phosphorylation site of eukaryotic initiation factor 4E 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Eukaryotic protein synthesis initiation factor 4E (eIF-4E) was labeled in situ with [32P]orthophosphate in cultured HeLa cells and rabbit reticulocytes and purified by affinity chromatography. Tryptic digestion yielded one labeled peptide which contained predominantly serine and lysine. After treatment of the protein with citraconic anhydride to block epsilon-amino groups of lysyl residues, tryptic digestion yielded a labeled peptide whose composition was consistent with the structure Trp-Ala-Leu-Trp-Phe-Phe-Lys-Asn-Asp-Lys-Ser(P)-Lys-Thr-Trp-Gln-Ala-Asn-L eu-Arg, one of the arginyl peptides predicted from the human eIF-4E cDNA sequence. The only serine in this peptide is located at position 53 of eIF-4E. Thus, it is concluded that eIF-4E contains a single site of phosphorylation for an endogenous protein kinase, which is Ser-53 in the human eIF-4E sequence. 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

Translation of mRNA in eukaryotes begins with specific recognition of the 5' cap structure by the highly conserved protein, eIF4E. The thermodynamics of eIF4E interaction with nine chemical cap analogues has been studied by means of emission spectroscopy. High-sensitivity measurements of intrinsic protein fluorescence quenching upon cap binding provided equilibrium association constants in the temperature range of 279 to 314 K. A van't Hoff analysis yielded the negative binding enthalpies for the entire cap analogue series, -16.6 to -81 kJ mol(-1), and the entropies covering the range of +40.3 to -136 J mol(-1) K(-1) at 293 K. The main enthalpic contributions come from interactions of the phosphate chains and positively charged amino acids and the cation-pi stacking of 7-methylguanine with tryptophans. A nontrivial, statistically important isothermal enthalpy-entropy compensation has been detected (T(c) = 399 +/- 24 K), which points to significant fluctuations of apo-eIF4E and indicates that the cap-binding microstate lies 9.66 +/- 1.7 kJ mol(-1) below the mean energy of all available conformational states. For five cap analogues, large and positive heat capacity changes have been found. The values of DeltaC(p) degrees correlate with the free energies of eIF4E binding due to stiffening of the protein upon interaction with cap analogues. At biological temperatures, binding of the natural caps has both favorable enthalpy and favorable entropy. Thermodynamic coupling of cap-eIF4E association to intramolecular self-stacking of dinucleotide cap analogues strongly influences the enthalpies and entropies of the binding, but has a negligible effect on the resultant DeltaG degrees and DeltaC(p) degrees values. 相似文献

Eukaryotic initiation factor 4F (eIF-4F) is a three-subunit complex that binds the 5' cap structure (m7GpppX, where X is any nucleotide) of eukaryotic mRNAs. This factor facilitates ribosome binding by unwinding the secondary structure in the mRNA 5' noncoding region. The limiting component of the 4F complex is believed to be the 24-kDa cap-binding phosphoprotein, eIF-4E. In this report, we describe the phosphorylation of eIF-4E in response to expression of the tyrosine kinase oncoproteins pp60v-src and pp60c-src527F. The results suggest that eIF-4E functions as a downstream target of the phosphorylation cascade induced by tyrosine-specific protein kinases as well as by effectors of the mitogenic response. 相似文献

We have cloned the cDNA for Xenopus eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E). Here we show that translation of a luciferase mRNA that contains the 5' untranslated region derived from Xenopus eIF4E is active in fertilized eggs, but is repressed in oocytes. The results suggest that the expression of Xenopus eIF4E is regulated at the translation level. 相似文献

We have used an antibody that specifically recognizes eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) when it is phosphorylated at Ser(207) to characterize eIF4E phosphorylation in the nervous system of APLYSIA: The level of phosphorylated eIF4E, but not the level of total eIF4E, was significantly correlated with the basal rate of translation measured from different animals. Serotonin (5-HT), a transmitter that regulates the rate of translation in APLYSIA: neurons, had mixed effects on eIF4E phosphorylation. 5-HT decreased eIF4E phosphorylation in sensory cell clusters through activation of protein kinase C. 5-HT increased eIF4E phosphorylation in the whole pleural ganglia. In the APLYSIA: nervous system, eIF4E phosphorylation correlated with phosphorylation of the p38 MAP kinase, but not the p42 MAP kinase (ERK). Furthermore, an inhibitor of the p38 MAP kinase significantly decreased basal eIF4E phosphorylation, but an inhibitor of the MAP or ERK kinase (MEK) did not. Despite the correlation of eIF4E phosphorylation with the basal rate of translation, inhibition of eIF4E phosphorylation by an inhibitor of the p38 MAP kinase did not significantly decrease the rate of translation. 相似文献
