Notes

EIF4G is more susceptible to degradation compared to other proteins, especially from some tissue sources such as liver. This is true even when tissue is stored at frozen. SDS-PAGE sample buffer may improve the stability, but samples that are stored frozen may show degradation bands that have been described in the literature.Therefore if multiple bands are observed in WB, it is likely due to the degradation of eIF4G rather than non-specificity of the antibody.

Target data

Function

Component of the protein complex eIF4F, which is involved in the recognition of the mRNA cap, ATP-dependent unwinding of 5'-terminal secondary structure and recruitment of mRNA to the ribosome (PubMed:29987188). Exists in two complexes, either with EIF1 or with EIF4E (mutually exclusive) (PubMed:29987188). Together with EIF1, is required for leaky scanning, in particular for avoiding cap-proximal start codon (PubMed:29987188). Together with EIF4E, antagonizes the scanning promoted by EIF1-EIF4G1 and locates the start codon (through a TISU element) without scanning (PubMed:29987188). As a member of the eIF4F complex, required for endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced ATF4 mRNA translation (PubMed:29062139).

Supplementary info

Activity summary

EIF4G1 also known as eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4 gamma 1 plays an important role in protein synthesis by acting as a scaffold for various other components of the initiation complex. This protein physically binds with eIF4E eIF4A and the poly(A)-binding protein aiding in the recruitment of ribosomes to the mRNA. eIF4G1 has a molecular weight of approximately 180 kDa and is expressed in various tissues including brain heart and skeletal muscle.

Biological function summary

EIF4G1 functions as part of the eIF4F complex facilitating the initiation of cap-dependent translation. This process directly affects the synthesis of proteins that are important for growth and cell cycle progression. As an important component in translation eIF4G1 coordinates interactions between mRNA and ribosomes ensuring efficient translation initiation and progression.

Pathways

EIF4G1 is significant in the mTOR and MAPK signaling pathways. These pathways regulate various cellular processes such as cell growth proliferation and survival. eIF4G1 interacts with related proteins like eIF4E which binds the 5' cap of mRNA and eIF4A an RNA helicase both critical in these signaling cascades.

Associated diseases and disorders

EIF4G1 has been associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease and certain types of cancer. Mutations or dysregulation can alter protein synthesis rates and lead to the development of disease phenotypes. In Parkinson's disease the interplay between eIF4G1 and other proteins like alpha-synuclein provides insight into the cellular mechanisms underlying disease progression highlighting eIF4G1 as a potential therapeutic target.

    Sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the Dako 3 in 1 AR buffer EDTA pH 9.0 in a DAKO PT link. Slides were peroxidase blocked in 3% H2O2 in methanol for 10 mins. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS) then incubated with primary antibody for 20 min and detected with Dako envision flex amplification kit for 30 minutes. Colorimetric detection was completed with Diaminobenzidine for 5 minutes. Slides were counterstained with Haematoxylin and coverslipped under DePeX. Please note that, for manual staining, optimization of primary antibody concentration and incubation time is recommended. Signal amplification may be required.
