mTORC1 is the central component of the insulin - signaling cascade [insulin / insulin - like growth factor (IGF)-- phosphatidylinositol 3 - kinase (PI3K) pathway)(Fig. 1) that regulates protein synthesis and mRNA translation through 2 primary mechanisms: 1) inactivation of the repressor of mRNA translation,
eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E - binding protein 1 (eIF4E - BP1), and 2) the activation of 70 - kDa ribosomal protein S6 kinase.
For example, previous studies have shown that
eukaryotic translation initiation factor (eIF4E) and cyclic AMP responsive element B (CREB) are known to be activated by radiation [37 - 40].
The team confirmed that guanabenz acts by temporarily blocking the reactivation of a protein known as
eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF2α).
Called
eukaryotic translation initiation factor, or eIF2alpha - P, the gene generates a protein that needs to have a chemical grouping called a phosphate group attached to it to halt the protein production line.

initiation codons, and how ribosomes regulate the
