abstract：:The role of eIF4G during the initiation of protein synthesis was studied using mouse mammary carcinoma FM3A cells and FM4G cells that overproduce an N-terminally truncated form of eIF4G, which lacks the binding site of poly(A)-binding protein. An increase in eIF4G was correlated with an increase in protein synthesis a...
