Cloning and Characterization of 4EHP, a Novel Mammalian eIF4E-related Cap-binding Protein
1 May 1998
Abstract excerpt
All eukaryotic mRNAs (except organellar) are capped at their 5' end. The cap structure (m7GpppN, where N is any nucleotide) is extremely important for the processing and translation of mRNA. Several cap-binding proteins that facilitate these processes have been characterized. Here we describe a novel human cytoplasmic protein that is 30% identical and 60% similar to the human translation initiation factor 4E...
