Function

EIF4E-binding protein that regulates translation and stability of mRNAs in processing bodies (P-bodies) (PubMed:16157702, PubMed:24335285, PubMed:27342281, PubMed:32354837). Plays a key role in P-bodies to coordinate the storage of translationally inactive mRNAs in the cytoplasm and prevent their degradation (PubMed:24335285, PubMed:32354837). Acts as a binding platform for multiple RNA-binding proteins: promotes deadenylation of mRNAs via its interaction with the CCR4-NOT complex, and blocks decapping via interaction with eIF4E (EIF4E and EIF4E2), thereby protecting deadenylated and repressed mRNAs from degradation (PubMed:27342281, PubMed:32354837). Component of a multiprotein complex that sequesters and represses translation of proneurogenic factors during neurogenesis (By similarity). Promotes miRNA-mediated translational repression (PubMed:24335285, PubMed:27342281, PubMed:28487484). Required for the formation of P-bodies (PubMed:16157702, PubMed:22966201, PubMed:27342281, PubMed:32354837). Involved in mRNA translational repression mediated by the miRNA effector TNRC6B by protecting TNRC6B-targeted mRNAs from decapping and subsequent decay (PubMed:32354837). Also acts as a nucleoplasmic shuttling protein, which mediates the nuclear import of EIF4E and DDX6 by a piggy-back mechanism (PubMed:10856257, PubMed:28216671).

Activity summary

The 4E-T protein also known as eIF4E-Transporter plays a critical role in translational regulation by controlling the localization and function of eIF4E an important component of the mRNA cap-binding complex. The mass of 4E-T is approximately 103 kDa. It is expressed in various tissues including the brain and testis suggesting its involvement in diverse physiological processes. The protein collaborates with eIF4E to facilitate or repress translation of specific mRNAs affecting gene expression at the translational level.

Biological function summary

4E-T regulates mRNA metabolism and translation serving as a modulator within the cell. It forms a complex with eIF4E and other translation repressors such as DEAD-box helicase DDX6 and Pat1 protein which then associates with mRNA to influence its translational state. This interaction enables 4E-T to impact gene expression by selectively binding and sequestering capped mRNAs therefore blocking their translation initiation at ribosomes.

Pathways

4E-T is involved in the mTOR signaling pathway which is essential for cell growth and metabolism. It also plays a role in the stress response pathway known as the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay pathway. In these pathways 4E-T interacts with proteins like LSm1 and UPF1 coordinating the cellular response to nutrient availability and stress and contributing to the degradation of faulty mRNA.

Associated diseases and disorders

4E-T has been implicated in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. In cancer its regulation of mRNA translation and interaction with proteins like eIF4G can affect tumor cell growth and survival. In neurodegenerative diseases alterations in its regulation can influence neuron health with its association with proteins like CPEB impacting synaptic plasticity and memory. Understanding 4E-T's involvement in these diseases provides avenues for potential therapeutic targets.
