Abstract excerpt
Eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) binds the 5'-cap of eukaryotic mRNAs and overexpression of eIF4E in epithelial cell cancers correlates with the metastases/tissue invasion phenotype. Photolabeling of eIF4E with [gamma-32P]8-azidoguanosine 5'-triphosphate (8-N3GTP) demonstrated cross-linking at Lys-119 in the S4-H2 loop which is distant from the m7GTP binding site [Marcotrigiano et al. (1997) Cell 89,...
