EIF4EBP2

This gene encodes a member of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E binding protein family. The gene products of this family bind eIF4E and inhibit translation initiation. However, insulin and other growth factors can release this inhibition via a phosphorylation-dependent disruption of their binding to eIF4E. Regulation of protein production through these gene products have been implicated in cell proliferation, cell differentiation and viral infection. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

Interaction

Hypophosphorylated EIF4EBP2 interacts with EIF4E; phosphorylation of EIF4EBP2 by mTORC1 causes dissociation of the complex allowing EIF4G1/EIF4G3 to bind and consequent initiation of translation (PubMed:7935836, PubMed:24207126, PubMed:21661078, PubMed:25533957). Interacts with RPTOR; promoting phosphorylation by mTORC1 (By similarity). Interacts with PCMT1; required to prevent isoaspartate accumulation and convert isoaspartate to Asp (By similarity).
