Abstract excerpt
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) is required for cap-dependent initiation. In addition, eIF4E occurs in cytoplasmic foci such as processing bodies (PB) and stress granules (SG). We examined the role of key functional amino acid residues of eIF4E in the recruitment of this protein to cytoplasmic foci. We demonstrate that tryptophan residues required for mRNA cap recognition are not required for...
