Fig 8. Models for 4E-DEP and 4E-IND Caf20p-mediated translational repression.

Fig 8

A. Active translation. Short mRNA (blue line with grey ORF) shown with eIF4E (purple) bound to 5’cap (blue), eIF4G (blue oval) and Pab1p (green oval) facilitating mRNA circularisation and ribosome recruitment (cream ovals) that excludes Caf20p binding eIF4E. B. Caf20p mediated eIF4E-dependent translational repression. eIF4E/4G/Pab1p closed loop unstable on long mRNAs facilitating Caf20p binding (red). Caf20p binding to 80S ribosomes may contribute to its local recruitment. C. 4E-IND repression mechanisms. Caf20p 3’ UTR motif binding (may not be direct), either alone or in addition to 80S binding facilitates translational repression. eIF4E-Caf20p binding may contribute to repression on some of these mRNAs.
