Abstract
Lack of regulation of the interaction between the eIF4E/eIF4G subunits of the translation initiation factor complex eIF4F is a hallmark of cancer. The inhibitor 4EGI-1 binds to eIF4E, thereby preventing association with eIF4G through an allosteric mechanism. NMR spectroscopy and MD simulations were used to obtain a mechanistic description of the role of correlated dynamics in this allosteric regulation. We show that binding of 4EGI-1 perturbs native correlated motions and increases correlated fluctuations in part of the eIF4G binding site.Entities:
