In vivo interaction between CDKA and eIF4A: a possible mechanism linking translation and cell proliferation.

In a proteomics-based screen for proteins interacting with cyclin-dependent protein kinase (CDK), we have identified a novel CDK complex containing the eukaryotic translation initiation factor, eIF4A. Reciprocal immunoprecipitations using antibodies against eIF4A indicate that the interaction is specific. The CDKA-eIF4A complex is abundant in actively proliferating and growing cells but is absent from cells that have ceased dividing. The CDKA-eIF4A complex contains kinase activity that is sensitive to the CDK-specific inhibitor roscovitine. This interaction points to a possible molecular mechanism linking cell proliferation with translational control.
