Abstract excerpt
Initiation in eukaryotes is the rate limiting step of translation. The binding of the mRNA to the 40S ribosomal subunit, which is mediated by the mRNA cap structure, is a key target for control of protein synthesis. The cap binding protein, eIF4E, is the most limiting of all initiation factors and its overexpression in NIH3T3 cells causes malignant transformation. 4E-binding protein 1 (BP1) and 4E-BP2 are small...
