Product details

Phospho-eIF4E (S209) and Total eIF4E (ab279777) is a very rapid, convenient, and sensitive assay kit that can monitor the activation or function of important biological pathways in human cell lysates. By determining phosphorylated eIF4E protein in your experimental model system, you can verify pathway activation in your cell lysates. You can simultaneously measure numerous different cell lysates without spending excess time and effort in performing a Western Blotting analysis.

This Sandwich ELISA kit is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the measurement of human phospho-eIF4E and total eIF4E. An anti-pan eIF4E antibody has been coated onto a 96-well plate. Samples are pipetted into the wells and eIF4E present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody and the wells are washed. In select wells, rabbit anti-phospho-eIF4E (S209) antibody is added to detect phosphorylated eIF4E. In the remaining wells, rabbit anti-pan-eIF4E antibody is used to detect pan eIF4E. After washing away unbound antibody, HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG is pipetted into the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of eIF4E (S209) or pan eIF4E bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.

Supplementary information

The eIF4E protein also known as the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E functions mainly in the initiation phase of mRNA translation. It plays a role by binding to the 7-methylguanylate cap structure at the 5’ end of mRNA facilitating ribosome assembly on mRNA. The molecular weight of eIF4E is approximately 25 kDa and it is ubiquitously expressed in various tissues across eukaryotic organisms. Additionally phosphorylation of eIF4E affects its activity and is an important post-translational modification.
Biological function summary

EIF4E regulates gene expression at the translational level and is a part of the eIF4F complex which also includes eIF4A and eIF4G. This complex is essential for the recruitment of ribosomes to the mRNA impacting the rate of protein synthesis. Changes in eIF4E levels can alter the translational efficiency of specific mRNAs thereby influencing cellular growth and proliferation.

Pathways

EIF4E directly involves in the mTOR signaling pathway which regulates cell growth proliferation and survival. Within this pathway eIF4E interacts with proteins such as 4EBP1 which binds to eIF4E and inhibits its function in the absence of phosphorylation by mTOR. This interaction illustrates the control mechanism of protein synthesis under different cellular conditions connecting it to various signaling cascades.

EIF4E has been linked to cancer and neurodegenerative conditions. In cancer overexpression of eIF4E leads to increased translation of oncogenes facilitating tumorigenesis. The mTOR pathway proteins like mTOR and 4EBP1 are often dysregulated in these cases. Conversely its role in neurological disorders involves the aberrant regulation of synaptic proteins like PSD95 impacting neuronal communication and function.
