Function

Inhibits translation initiation and cap-dependent translation. May excert its function by hindering the interaction between EIF4A1 and EIF4G. Inhibits the helicase activity of EIF4A. Modulates the activation of JUN kinase. Down-regulates the expression of MAP4K1, thus inhibiting events important in driving invasion, namely, MAPK85 activation and consequent JUN-dependent transcription. May play a role in apoptosis. Tumor suppressor. Inhibits tumor promoter-induced neoplastic transformation. Binds RNA (By similarity).

Activity summary

The PDCD4 protein also known as Programmed Cell Death 4 is a multifunctional tumor suppressor. With a molecular mass of approximately 64 kDa it plays an important role in regulating gene expression and inhibiting cellular transformation. PDCD4 is expressed in various tissues including the lung kidney and heart where it modulates different cellular pathways. Its ability to bind RNA and interact with eukaryotic initiation factor 4A (eIF4A) highlights its important role in translation regulation.

Biological function summary

PDCD4 inhibits translation by binding to the eIF4A RNA helicase blocking the translation initiation complex. This action stabilizes mRNA and reduces protein synthesis impacting processes such as cell growth and proliferation. Although PDCD4 functions mainly as a monomer it can also interact with other proteins to form complexes that enhance its regulatory activity. More specifically its role in controlling AP-1 transcription factor activity steps into the spotlight in influencing cellular responses.

Pathways

PDCD4 primarily interacts with signaling mechanisms related to apoptosis and inflammation. The protein is integral in the mTOR signaling pathway which governs cell growth in response to nutrient availability. PDCD4 also impacts the PI3K/AKT pathway linking its activity to cellular survival and metabolism. Through these pathways PDCD4 associates with proteins such as p53 and NF-kB connecting it to broader cellular and molecular networks involved in maintaining cellular integrity.

Associated diseases and disorders

PDCD4 is significantly implicated in cancer progression and inflammation-related conditions. Its downregulation or loss frequently occurs in several cancers including breast and lung cancer leading to unchecked cell proliferation and tumor growth. PDCD4's interaction with proteins like c-Myc further demonstrates its importance in oncogenic pathways. Additionally its role in inflammation positions it as a critical factor in disorders such as Crohn’s disease where abnormal inflammatory responses are prominent.

    ab215673 staining PDCD4 in HeLa cells. The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab215673 at 1/5000 dilution (pseudocolored in green) and Alexa Fluor® 647 Anti-Tubulin antibody [YOL1/34] - Microtubule Marker ab195884, Rat monoclonal to Tubulin (Alexa Fluor® 647), at 1/250 dilution (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

    Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).
