Inhibits translation initiation and cap-dependent translation. May excert its function by hindering the interaction between EIF4A1 and EIF4G. Inhibits the helicase activity of EIF4A. Modulates the activation of JUN kinase. Down-regulates the expression of MAP4K1, thus inhibiting events important in driving invasion, namely, MAPK85 activation and consequent JUN-dependent transcription. May play a role in apoptosis. Tumor suppressor. Inhibits tumor promoter-induced neoplastic transformation. Binds RNA.
Specificity
Natural and recombinant Rat Programmed cell death protein 4
Subcellular Location
Nucleus Cytoplasm Shuttles between the nucleus and cytoplasm. Predominantly nuclear under normal growth conditions, and when phosphorylated at Ser-457.
Interacts (via MI domains) with EIF4A2 (By similarity). Interacts (via MI domains) with EIF4A1 (via N-terminal domain). Heterotrimer with EIF4A1; one molecule of PDCD4 binds two molecules of EIF4A1. Interacts with EIF4G1. May form a complex with EIF4A1 and EIF4G1. The interaction between PDCD4 and EIF4A1 interferes with the interaction between EIF4A1 and EIF4G. When phosphorylated, interacts with BTRC and FBXW11.
