Phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) at Ser209 is not required for protein synthesis in vitro and in vivo

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) binds to the mRNA 5' cap and brings the mRNA into a complex with other protein synthesis initiation factors and ribosomes. The activity of mammalian eIF4E is important for the translation of capped mRNAs

Initiation factor 4E (eIF-4E) binds to the m7GTP-containing cap of eukaryotic mRNA and facilitates the entry of mRNA into the initiation cycle of protein synthesis. eIF-4E is a phosphoprotein, and the phosphorylated form binds to mRNA caps 3-4-fold more tightly
Phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 4E markedly reduces its affinity for capped mRNA

Ser-53 has previously been considered the major phosphorylation site in eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF)-4E, and this appeared to be supported by studies using a S53A mutant. Recently, however, several lines of evidence have indicated that Ser-53 might not be the
