Background:

eIF4E2 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E family member 2), also known as 4EHP, IF4e, 4E-LP or EIF4EL3, is a ubiquitously expressed 245 amino acid protein. During early translation events, eIF4E2 recognizes and binds the 7-methylguanosine-containing mRNA cap (a cotranscriptionally added structure that conveys mRNA stability and allows for efficient RNA processing), thus initiating the unwinding of mRNA secondary structures and facilitating mRNA-ribosome binding. eIF4E2 competes with eIF4E (member 1) for cap binding and, upon modification by the ubiquitin-like protein ISG15 (Interferon-induced 15 kDa protein), exhibits increased mRNA cap affinity.
