Molecular Mechanisms of eIF4E Mediated Transformation
Abstract This revised renewal application investigates novel mechanisms driving dysregulation of post- transcriptional control in cancer. Indeed, dysregulation of these events can drive the production of proteins that underpin proliferation, survival, invasion and metastases. Dysregulation can occur at many levels of RNA processing including splicing of RNAs, their nuclear export and translation. The eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4E, dysregulated in ~30% of cancers including in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), governs the RNA processing of networks of transcripts that ultimately underpin its oncogenic activities. Its ability to govern these regulons has been attributed to its…
