Abstract excerpt
Eukaryotic elongation factor 2 kinase (eEF2K) is an atypical protein kinase which negatively regulates protein synthesis, is activated under stress conditions and plays a role in cytoprotection, e.g. in cancer cells. It is regarded as a possible target for therapeutic intervention in solid tumours. Earlier studies showed that eEF2K is degraded by a proteasome-dependent pathway in response to genotoxic stress and...
