Target Details

Target: eIF-4gamma

Background: EIF-4 proteins are required for mRNA recognition and acceleration of translation during protein synthesis. This group of proteins consists of the RNA helicase, eIF-4A, the RNA-binding protein, eIF-4B, and the cap binding proteins, eIF-4E and eIF-4gamma. eIF-4gamma, also referred to as p220, is a 1396 amino acid polypeptide that migrates as a 220kDa. eIF-4gamma has several potential glycosylation and phosphorylation sites that could account for its anomalous electrophoretic mobility. In addition, eIF-4gamma is rapidly degraded in picornavirus-infected cells due to its content of multiple PEST sequences.

Molecular Weight: 220 kDa
