Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The control of translation initiation is a crucial component in the regulation of gene expression. The eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) mediates binding of the initiator transfer-messenger-RNA to the AUG initiation codon, and thus controls a rate-limiting step in translation initiation. Phosphorylation of eIF2α at serine 51 is linked to cellular stress response and attenuates translation...
