Abstract excerpt
Initiation factor eIF4G is an essential protein required for initiation of mRNA translation via the 5' cap-dependent pathway. It interacts with eIF4E (the mRNA 5' cap-binding protein) and serves as an anchor for the assembly of further initiation factors. With treatment of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with rapamycin or with entry of cells into the diauxic phase, eIF4G is rapidly degraded, whereas initiation factors...
