Eukaryotic initiation factor 4B from wheat and Arabidopsis thaliana is a member of a multigene family.

Abstract:

:Clones of eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4B from wheat and Arabidopsis thaliana were obtained from cDNA and genomic libraries. The exon/intron organization of the genes from wheat and A. thaliana is very similar. The deduced amino acid sequences for the wheat and Arabidopsis eIF4B proteins showed overall similarity to each other, but very little similarity to eIF4B from other eukaryotes. The recombinant form of eIF4B supports polypeptide synthesis in an in vitro translation system and reacts with antibodies to native wheat eIF4B. In contrast to mammalian eIF4B and eIF4A, the combination of wheat eIF4B and eIF4A does not stimulate RNA-dependent ATP hydrolysis activity; however, wheat eIF4B does stimulate eIF4F and eIF4A RNA-dependent ATP hydrolysis activity. Interestingly, eIF4B does not stimulate eIF(iso)4F and eIF4A hydrolysis activity. Gel filtration experiments indicate wheat eIF4B, like its mammalian counterpart, self-associates to form a homodimer.
