Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence analysis of MCF7 (Human breast adenocarcinoma epithelial cell) cells labeling eIF2A with Purified ab169528 at 1 : 100 dilution (4.3 µg/ml). Cells were fixed in 4% Paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.1% tritonX-100. Cells were counterstained with ab195889 Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker (Alexa Fluor® 594) 1 : 200 (2.5 µg/ml). Goat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488, ab150077) was used as the secondary antibody at 1 : 1000 (2 µg/ml) dilution. DAPI (blue) was used as nuclear counterstain. PBS instead of the primary antibody was used as the secondary antibody only control.

Lane 3 : Ramos cell lysate (20 μg)
Lane 4 : MOLT4 cell lysate (20 μg)
Lanes 1 - 4 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab169528 observed at 65 kDa. Red - loading control, ab8245, observed at 37 kDa.
ab169528 was shown to specifically react with eIF2A when eIF2A knockout samples were used. Wild-type and eIF2A knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab169528 and ab8245 (loading control to GAPDH) were diluted at 1/1000 and 1/10 000 respectively and incubated overnight at 4°C. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1/10 000 dilution for 1 h at room temperature before imaging.

Biological function summary
EIF2A impacts the translation mechanism by facilitating the binding of Met-tRNAi to the ribosome under particular conditions especially during stress responses where canonical eIF2 might be inhibited. It operates independently from the larger eIF2 complex which also includes eIF2β and eIF2γ subunits. This independent activity allows eIF2A to serve as a backup mechanism for translation initiation when the normal pathway is impaired.
Pathways
Translation regulation involves interaction with cellular stress pathways and the integrated stress response (ISR). eIF2A operates within pathways that respond to physiological stresses such as nutrient deprivation and oxidative stress which trigger alterations in protein synthesis rates. eIF2A is related to the eIF2 kinase which phosphorylates the α subunit of eIF2 leading to a general reduction in translation initiation under stress allowing selective translation of stress-response proteins.
