General description

eIF4F is a translation initiation factor containing three subunits: eIF4A, eIF4E, and eIF4G. This complex is a key component in promoting ribosomal binding to the mRNA. eIF4G interacts with both eIF4A and eIF4E though its carboxy and amino terminal domains, respectively. eIF4E binds to the cap structure of the mRNA, while the ATP-dependent RNA helicase eIF4A unwinds the secondary structure of the 5’ UTR. eIF4G plays a critical role in coordinating the assembly of the eukaryotic initiation factors. It acts as a bridge to bind the cap-bound eIF4E, eIF4AI&II, the eIF3 complex, PABP1, and the kinase Mnk1 (Lejeune, F., et al., 2004) in a large eukaryotic initiation factor complex

Specificity

Optimizing enteral nutrition for premature infants may help mitigate extrauterine growth restriction and adverse chronic health outcomes. Previously, we showed in neonatal pigs born at term that lean growth is enhanced by intermittent bolus compared with continuous feeding. The objective

Extrauterine growth restriction in premature infants is largely attributed to reduced lean mass accretion and is associated with long-term morbidities. Previously, we demonstrated that prematurity blunts the feeding-induced stimulation of translation initiation signaling and protein synthesis in skeletal muscle of
