Abstract excerpt
NAT1/p97/DAP5 is a newly identified protein that shares homology with the translation initiation factor eIF4G. Studies in vitro and in transfected cells indicated that NAT1 might suppress global translation, thereby repressing cellular proliferation. Here we studied the functions of NAT1 in vivo by disrupting its gene in mice. NAT1(-/-) embryos died during gastrulation, indicating a crucial role for NAT1 in...
