Regulation of eukaryotic initiation factor eIF2B: glycogen synthase kinase‐3 phosphorylates a conserved serine which undergoes dephosphorylation in response to insulin
Abstract
Eukaryotic initiation factor eIF2B catalyses a key regulatory step in mRNA translation. eIF2B and total protein synthesis are acutely activated by insulin, and this requires phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase (PI 3‐kinase). The ϵ‐subunit of eIF2B is phosphorylated by glycogen synthase kinase‐3 (GSK‐3), which is inactivated by insulin in a PI 3‐kinase‐dependent manner. Here we identify the phosphorylation site in eIF2Bϵ as Ser 540 and show that treatment of eIF2B with GSK‐3 inhibits its activity. Ser 540 is phosphorylated in intact cells and undergoes dephosphorylation in response to insulin. This is blocked by PI 3‐kinase inhibitors. Insulin‐induced dephosphorylation of this inhibitory site in eIF2B seems likely to be important in the overall activation of translation by this hormone.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
