Journal ArticleDOI

Mammalian poly(A)-binding protein is a eukaryotic translation initiation factor, which acts via multiple mechanisms

TL;DR: It is shown that extracts lacking PABP exhibit dramatically reduced rates of translation, reduced efficiency of 48S and 80S ribosome initiation complex formation, and impaired interaction of eIF4E with the mRNA cap structure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of Ribosome Recruitment Induces Stress Granule Formation Independently of Eukaryotic Initiation Factor 2α Phosphorylation

TL;DR: It is demonstrated 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 eIF2alpha phosphorylation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antitumor activity and mechanism of action of the cyclopenta[b]benzofuran, silvestrol.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the results of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Training Grant and the US Lymphoma Foundation Training Grant (USLGF).
Journal ArticleDOI

Control of eIF4E cellular localization by eIF4E-binding proteins, 4E-BPs.

TL;DR: 4E-BP1 is shown to be a regulator of eIF4E cellular localization in mouse embryo fibroblasts subjected to serum starvation and/or rapamycin treatment, and is also present in the nucleus, where it is thought to stimulate nuclear-cytoplasmic transport of certain mRNAs.
Journal ArticleDOI

The antidepressant sertraline inhibits translation initiation by curtailing mammalian target of rapamycin signaling.

TL;DR: The results indicate that sertraline exerts antiproliferative activity by targeting the mTOR signaling pathway in a REDD1-dependent manner.
