1. PCI-24781 down-regulates EZH2 expression and then promotes glioma apoptosis by suppressing the PIK3K/Akt/mTOR pathway
PCI-24781 is a novel histone deacetylase inhibitor that inhibits tumor proliferation and promotes cell apoptosis. However, it is unclear whether PCI-24781 inhibits Enhancer of Zeste 2 (EZH2) expression in malignant gliomas. In this work, three glioma cell lines were incubated with various concentrations of PCI-24781 (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2.5 and 5 M) and analyze

2. Leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter: clinical and neuroimage studies / "Leucoencefalopatia com substância branca evanescente: estudo clínico e de neuroimagem"
Leucoencefalopatia com substância branca evanescente é uma doença geneticamente determinada, causada por mutação no gene do eIF2B. A idade varia do período pré-natal até idade adulta, as manifestações geralmente são desencadeadas por trauma ou infecção. Os sintomas são variáveis, incluem ataxia cerebelar, espasticidade e relativa preservação

4. Archaeal translation initiation revisited: The initiation factor 2 and eukaryotic initiation factor 2B α-β-δ subunit families
As the amount of available sequence data increases, it becomes apparent that our understanding of translation initiation is far from comprehensive and that prior conclusions concerning the origin of the process are wrong. Contrary to earlier conclusions, key elements of translation initiation originated at the Universal Ancestor stage, for homologous counter

5. Mutations in the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF-2 alpha) that overcome the inhibitory effect of eIF-2 alpha phosphorylation on translation initiation.
Phosphorylation of eIF-2 alpha in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by the protein kinase GCN2 leads to inhibition of general translation initiation and a specific increase in translation of GCN4 mRNA. We isolated mutations in the eIF-2 alpha structural gene that do not affect the growth rate of wild-type yeast but which suppress the toxic effects of eIF-2 alpha hype

6. Canonical eukaryotic initiation factors determine initiation of translation by internal ribosomal entry.
Translation of picornavirus RNA is initiated after ribosomal binding to an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) within the 5' untranslated region. We have reconstituted IRES-mediated initiation on encephalomyocarditis virus RNA from purified components and used primer extension analysis to confirm the fidelity of 48S preinitiation complex formation.

7. Eukaryotic initiation factor 2B: identification of multiple phosphorylation sites in the ε-subunit and their functions in vivo
Eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 2B is a heteromeric guanine nucleotide exchange factor that plays an important role in regulating mRNA translation. Here we identify multiple phosphorylation sites in the largest, catalytic, subunit (ε) of mammalian eIF2B. These sites are phosphorylated by four different protein kinases. Two conserved sites (Ser712/713) ar

8. Adenovirus VAI RNA prevents phosphorylation of the eukaryotic initiation factor 2 alpha subunit subsequent to infection.
The virus-associated VAI RNA of adenovirus is a small, RNA polymerase III-transcribed species required for efficient translation of mRNAs late after infection. Deletion mutant dl331 fails to produce this RNA and, as a result, grows poorly. Three lines of evidence suggest that VAI RNA facilitates translation by preventing inactivation of the function of eukar

9. Identification of Domains and Residues within the ɛ Subunit of Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 2B (eIF2Bɛ) Required for Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Reveals a Novel Activation Function Promoted by eIF2B Complex Formation
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B (eIF2B) is the guanine nucleotide exchange factor for protein synthesis initiation factor 2 (eIF2). Composed of five subunits, it converts eIF2 from a GDP-bound form to the active eIF2-GTP complex. This is a regulatory step of translation initiation. In vitro, eIF2B catalytic function can be provided by the largest

10. Mammalian eukaryotic initiation factor 2 alpha kinases functionally substitute for GCN2 protein kinase in the GCN4 translational control mechanism of yeast.
Phosphorylation of the alpha subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF-2 alpha) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by the GCN2 protein kinase stimulates the translation of GCN4 mRNA. The protein kinases heme-regulated inhibitor of translation (HRI) and double-stranded RNA-dependent eIF-2 alpha protein kinase (dsRNA-PK) inhibit initiation of translation in mamm

11. Induction of Apoptosis by Double-Stranded-RNA-Dependent Protein Kinase (PKR) Involves the α Subunit of Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 2 and NF-κB
The double-stranded (ds) RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) is a key mediator of antiviral effects of interferon (IFN) and an active player in apoptosis induced by different stimuli. The translation initiation factor eIF-2α (α subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2) and IκBα, the inhibitor of the transcription factor NF-κB, have been prop

12. Multistep regulatory system for activation of a cyclic AMP-independent eukaryotic initiation factor 2 kinase.
Three functionally related components that block peptide initiation have been identified in lysates of rabbit reticulocytes. The components function consecutively in a cascade type sequence of reactions to cause phosphorylation of eukaryotic peptide initiation factor 2 (eIF-2). The eIF-2 kinase activated as part of this sequence has been tentatively identifi
