EF1A2 also known as Eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 2 is a protein that plays a role in the elongation phase of protein synthesis. It is a GTP-binding protein with a mass of about 50 kDa. This protein facilitates the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the acceptor site of the ribosome during protein translation. EF1A2 is expressed mainly in heart brain and skeletal muscle tissues indicating its importance in tissues with high energy demands.
Biological function summary
EF1A2 supports cellular proliferation and growth by ensuring the continuous efficiency of protein synthesis. It participates in several protein complexes that are involved in translational control. By regulating the actin cytoskeleton EF1A2 additionally influences cell shape and motility. This multifunctionality indicates EF1A2's relevance in various cellular activities beyond its primary role in translation elongation.
Pathways
EF1A2 integrates into the protein synthesis pathway and also plays a role in the mTOR signaling pathway which regulates cell growth and metabolism. In the mTOR pathway EF1A2 works alongside other elongation factors like EF2 and components of the translation machinery to coordinate protein synthesis. It interacts with proteins involved in nutrient signaling and energy status showing its role in integrating metabolic signals with translational processes.
EF1A2 shows a connection with cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Overexpression of EF1A2 has been linked to several types of cancer as its role in facilitating protein synthesis can contribute to uncontrolled cellular proliferation. In neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) altered expression of EF1A2 suggests a disruption in protein homeostasis. The dysregulation of EF1A2 potentially affecting actin-binding proteins like TDP-43 highlights its association with disease pathology.
