Translation of mRNA isone of the processes adopted by cancer cellsto maintain survival via phosphorylated eukaryotic initiation factor4F (eIF4F) overexpression.28 It consistsof the ATP-dependent RNA helicase eIF4A, the large scaffolding proteineIF4G, and the 5′-terminus of mRNA cap-binding subunit eIF4E.The recognition of the 7-methylguanosine nucleoside triphosphate capat the 5′-terminus of mRNA by eIF4E is essential for initiatingthe cap-dependent translation. Here, EIF4E is linked to cancer.
