IMPACT also known as Impact homolog or CI-68 is a protein that has around 33 kDa molecular weight. It is well-conserved across species and has significant expression in the brain. The protein can bind to ribosomes potentially influencing translation regulation. IMPACT can modulate translation initiation and is detected in other tissues but with lesser intensity than in the brain.
Biological function summary
The regulation of translation initiation is a critical function that IMPACT performs. It is thought to affect the cellular stress response by interacting with components of the translation machinery. IMPACT does not function as part of a large complex but influences the availability of translation factors. This influence is essential in neurons where it helps them survive under various environmental stress conditions.
Pathways
IMPACT plays a role in the mTOR signaling and integrated stress response pathways. Through these it influences protein synthesis and cellular stress management. IMPACT is related to proteins like GCN2 which allows cells to adapt to amino acid availability and eIF2α which is important for the translation initiation regulations in response to stress signals.
Alterations in IMPACT expression have links to neurodegenerative diseases and mental health disorders. In Alzheimer's Disease for example its regulation of protein synthesis is considered important in disease progress interacting with other proteins like tau. Additionally through stress response modulation IMPACT is associated with mood disorders due to its role in synaptic plasticity and neuron survival under stress conditions.
