DEKTV and YVG motifs in the Lsm domain are important for the activity of Scd6, a conserved translation repressor protein.

Abstract excerpt

Scd6 is a conserved RGG-motif protein which represses translation by binding eIF4G through its RGG-motif. Lsm and FDF are two other conserved domains present in the protein, however the role of both these domains is unclear. We provide evidence in this report that the Lsm domain is important for the role of Scd6 in translation. Mutant of Scd6 lacking the Lsm domain does not cause overexpression growth defect in a...
