PHAS/4E-BPs as regulators of mRNA translation and cell proliferation

Trends Biochem Sci. 1997 Sep;22(9):345-9. doi: 10.1016/s0968-0004(97)01101-8.

Abstract

Insulin and growth factors elicit rapid increases in protein synthesis by stimulating mRNA translation. PHAS/4E-BPs, a recently discovered family of elF4E-binding, proteins, appear to play a key role in this process, as well as in the control of cell proliferation.
