To expose target proteins, antigen retrieval method was performed using 10mM sodium citrate (pH 6.0), microwaved for 8-15 min. Tissues were blocked in 3% H2O2-methanol for 15 min at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS. Tissue sections were incubated with the primary antibody (1 : 100 in 3% BSA-PBS) overnight at 4°C. A HRP-conjugated anti-mouse was used as the secondary antibody, followed by colorimetric detection using a DAB kit. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and dehydrated with ethanol and xylene to prep for mounting.

Supplementary information

EIF2B3 also known as eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B subunit gamma plays an important role in the regulation of protein synthesis. It is part of the eIF2B complex a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for eIF2 which is critical in the initiation phase of mRNA translation. The eIF2B3 subunit has a molecular mass of approximately 58 kDa. This protein is ubiquitously expressed in various tissues reflecting its essential role in maintaining cellular functions.
Biological function summary

The eIF2B complex that includes eIF2B3 operates as a critical regulator in the synthesis of proteins by mediating the exchange of GDP for GTP on eIF2. This regulation affects the initiation of mRNA translation during cellular stress responses. The eIF2B complex consisting of five subunits including eIF2B3 facilitates the recycling of eIF2 essential for continued protein translation under normal conditions. This subunit's interactions within the complex are pivotal for modulating translational control mechanisms in response to environmental signals.

Pathways

The activity of eIF2B3 appears central to the integrated stress response (ISR) pathway influencing the translational control under diverse stress conditions like nutrient deprivation or viral infections. It connects primarily with eIF2 which when phosphorylated binds strongly to eIF2B inhibiting the guanine nucleotide exchange activity essential for protein synthesis progression. The ISR pathway's regulation of protein synthesis is key for the cellular adaptation during metabolic stress highlighting eIF2B3's significance in maintaining homeostasis.

Altered eIF2B3 function is associated with Vanishing White Matter Disease (VWMD) a leukodystrophy affecting the central nervous system. Mutations in eIF2B3 and other subunits of the eIF2B complex can impair the guanine nucleotide exchange activity leading to reduced replenishment of functional eIF2 and compromised stress response adaptation. The consequential protein synthesis defects contribute to the pathogenesis of VWMD linking eIF2B3 malfunction to this disorder's progression.

Target data

Acts as a component of the translation initiation factor 2B (eIF2B) complex, which catalyzes the exchange of GDP for GTP on the eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2) complex gamma subunit (PubMed : 25858979, PubMed : 27023709, PubMed : 31048492). Its guanine nucleotide exchange factor activity is repressed when bound to eIF2 complex phosphorylated on the alpha subunit, thereby limiting the amount of methionyl-initiator methionine tRNA available to the ribosome and consequently global translation is repressed (PubMed : 25858979, PubMed : 31048492).
