Abstract
Protein synthesis is one of the most complex and energy-consuming processes in eukaryotic cells and therefore is tightly regulated. One of the main mechanisms of translational control is post-translational modifications of the components of translational apparatus. Phosphorylation status of translation factors depends on the balanced action of kinases and phosphatases. While many kinase-dependent events are well defined, phosphatases that counteract phosphorylation are rarely determined. This mini-review focuses on the regulation of activity of translational initiation factors by serine/threonine phosphatases.Entities:
