Question
Chapter 31, Problem 47P
Interpretation Introduction
(a)
Interpretation:
Effects on eIF-4 helicase activity in the presence of eIF-4H should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) are the proteins, which are used during the initiation of the eukaryotic translation process. The function of these proteins is to stabilize the ribosomal complexes that are near the start codon on the mRNA strand.
Interpretation Introduction
(b)
Interpretation:
The importance of measuring the helicase activity of eIF-4H as control should be determined.

- Inducers and Inhibitors of AEP. Short peptides such as legumain stabilization and activity modulation (LSAM) domain and αvβ3 integrin could enhance the activity of AEP. LSAM domain known as the prodomain of AEP blocks substrate binding before activation. This prodomain has a helical structure and two independent peptides. One is an activation peptide (AP, K287 to N323), and the other is a LSAM domain. LSAM domain remains even after AP is cleaved and released from protease at neutral pH via electrostatic interaction. AEP without LSAM domain has a lower melting temperature than AEP with LSAM domain [77, 117]. Another short peptide, αvβ3 integrin, can directly interact with AEP, and after forming a complex, the optimal pH for AEP activity is increased from 5.5 to 6.0. It indicates that αvβ3 binding could induce conformational stabilization of AEP accompanied by deprotonated C189. αvβ3 does not directly interact with the AEP active site; however, AEP docks to the αvβ3 RGD-binding site…arrow_forwardE Threonine 6.
