Functional significance of eIF5A and its hypusine modification in eukaryotes

TL;DR: EIF5A and the hypusine biosynthetic enzymes are novel potential targets for intervention in aberrant cell proliferation, in view of the extraordinary specificity and functional significance of Hypusine-containing eIF 5A in mammalian cell proliferation.
Journal ArticleDOI

eIF5A has a function in the elongation step of translation in yeast.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the formation of P bodies is inhibited in an eIF5A mutant, similarly to the effect of the translation elongation inhibitor cycloheximide.
Journal ArticleDOI

eIF5A binds to translational machinery components and affects translation in yeast.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that eIF-5A interacts with structural components of the 80S ribosome, as well as with the translation elongation factor 2 (eEF2).
Journal ArticleDOI

Is there a role for eIF5A in translation

TL;DR: The putative translation factor eIF5A is essential for cell viability and is highly conserved from archaebacteria to mammals and has also been implicated in nuclear export of HIV-1 Rev and mRNA decay, but these findings are controversial in the literature and may reflect secondary effects of eIF-5A function.
