Description
Additional Information

In mammalian cells, translation is controlled at the level of polypeptide chain initiation by eukaryotic initiation factors. The human eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A gene, also designated eIF-4D or eIF5A, maps to chromosome 17p13-p12 and encodes a 154 amino acid protein that is linked to cellular polyamine homeostasis. eIF5A localizes to the nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments of mammalian cells where it can stimulate ribosomal peptidyl-transferase and may be involved in nucleocytoplasmic mRNA transport and/or protein translation. eIF5A contains a unique spermidine-derived post-translational modification at Lys-50, hypusine, which is necessary for eIF5A's biochemical activity and for cellular proliferative signaling. In addition, eIF5A is a cellular cofactor for the function of the Rev transactivator protein of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Inhibition of eIF5A interaction with Rev leads to a block of the viral replication cycle.
