Abstract excerpt
ABSTEACT: IFE-1 is one of the five C. elegans homologs of eIF4E, which is the mRNA 5' cap-binding component of the translation initiation complex eIF4F. Depletion of IFE-1 causes defects in sperm, suggesting that IFE-1 regulates a subset of genes required for sperm functions. To further understan...
