Biological function summary
EIF2B4 functions within the eIF2B complex which is essential for the initiation of translation in eukaryotic cells. Its role in this complex involves the regulation of the eIF2 cycle which is important for controlling the rate of global protein synthesis. By mediating guanine nucleotide exchange on eIF2 eIF2B4 helps manage cellular responses to stress including the integrated stress response. This complex is vital in maintaining cellular homeostasis especially under conditions of amino acid deprivation or other stress factors.
Pathways
EIF2B4 plays a pivotal role in the integrated stress response (ISR) and is a part of the eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2) signaling pathway. These pathways adjust protein synthesis rates in response to varying environmental conditions and stress signals. eIF2B4 interacts with eIF2 and together they regulate translation by modulating the availability of eIF2-GTP. This interaction is essential for the precise control of protein synthesis during stress conditions which decides cell survival and adaptation.

General info
Function
Acts as a component of the translation initiation factor 2B (eIF2B) complex, which catalyzes the exchange of GDP for GTP on eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2) 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).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the eIF-2B alpha/beta/delta subunits family.
