| Description | In eukaryotes, the translation of mRNA is initiated by the binding of eIF4F complex, which is composed of eIF4E, eIF4A and eIF4G proteins. elF4E-binding proteins (4E-BPs) are involved in translational regulation through their interaction with eIF4E. There are two elF4E-binding proteins (4E-BPs) found in S. cerevisiae, Caf20 and Eap1 [ ].This entry represents Caf20 (also known as p20), which competes with elF4G for binding to elF4E and interferes with the formation of the elF4F complex, hence inhibiting translation [ , ]. Caf20 is needed for the induction of pseudohyphal growth in response to nitrogen limitation []. |
