When the 4E-BPs are hyperphosphorylated, they no longer bind to eIF4E, leaving the initiation factor to form the eIF4F complex and promote cap-dependent initiation of translation. 4EGI-1 is a small molecule that inhibits cap-dependent translation by interfering with the interaction between eIF4E and eIF4G.
