Specificity
This item detects a specific epitope within the carboxy-terminal of programmed cell death 4 (Pdcd4), a novel tumour suppressor. Pdcd4 interacts with the RNA helicase eIF4A and the scaffolding protein eIF4G, two components of the translation initiation complex, and thus inhibits protein synthesis. Pdcd4 has also been shown to inhibit transcription factor activator protein-1 (AP-1), which regulates several events required for cell invasion, including expression of matrix metalloproteinases and cell motility.

Pdcd4 localizes to the nucleus in proliferating cells, and its expression is modulated by cytokines in natural killer and T cells. Pdcd4 expression is down regulated with tumour progression in carcinomas of the lung, colon, prostate and breast.

NCBI Summary for PDCD4

This gene is a tumor suppressor and encodes a protein that binds to the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A1 and inhibits its function by preventing RNA binding. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

UniProt Comments for PDCD4

PDCD4: protein localized to the nucleus in proliferating cells that seems to possess a tumor suppressor activity. Directly interacts with the RNA helicase eIF4A and inhibits protein synthesis by interfering with the assembly of the cap-dependent translation initiation complex. Suppresses carbonic anhydrase type II protein expression in carcinoid cell lines. Since tumor cells require a high bicarbonate flux for their growth, carbonic anhydrase suppression results in growth inhibition. Expression of this gene is modulated by cytokines in natural killer and T cells. The gene product is thought to play a role in apoptosis but the specific role has not yet been determined. Two differentially spliced isoforms have been identified.
