Upon mRNA Poly(A) recognition, PABP and the bound mRNA stimulate the initiation of translation by interacting with initiation factor eIF4G. Protein eIF4G actually interacts with PABP's dorsal side (under the trough) hydrophobic and acidic residues that stimulate the interaction between the two proteins. These specific residues are phylogenetically conserved among all PABPs, and therefore significant in the protein's function and interaction with eIF4G. | Upon mRNA Poly(A) recognition, PABP and the bound mRNA stimulate the initiation of translation by interacting with initiation factor eIF4G.
