Description:
PHAS-I is a heat-stable protein (relative molecular mass approximately 12,400) found in many tissues. It is rapidly phosphorylated in rat adipocytes incubated with insulin or growth factors. Nonphosphorylated PHAS-I bound to initiation factor 4E (eIF-4E) and inhibited protein synthesis. Serine-64 in PHAS-I was rapidly phosphorylated by mitogen-activated (MAP) kinase, the major insulin-stimulated PHAS-I kinase in adipocyte extracts. Results obtained with antibodies, immobilized PHAS-I, and a messenger RNA cap affinity resin indicated that PHAS-I did not bind eIF-4E when serine-64 was phosphorylated. Thus, PHAS-I may be a key mediator of the stimulation of protein synthesis by the diverse group of agents and stimuli that activate MAP kinase.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lin, T A -- Kong, X -- Haystead, T A -- Pause, A -- Belsham, G -- Sonenberg, N -- Lawrence, J C Jr -- AR41180/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- DK28312/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Oct 28;266(5185):653-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Biology and Pharmacology, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO 63110.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7939721" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
