Abstract excerpt
The eucaryotic translation initiation factor 4B (eIF4B) stimulates the helicase activity of the DEAD box protein eIF4A to unwind inhibitory secondary structure in the 5' untranslated region of eucaryotic mRNAs. Here, using phosphopeptide mapping and a phosphospecific antiserum, we identify a serum-responsive eIF4B phosphorylation site, Ser422, located in an RNA-binding region required for eIF4A helicase-promoting...
