Biological function summary
This elongation factor is important in promoting the accuracy and efficiency of protein translation. It interacts with several components of the protein synthesis machinery and forms part of a larger translational complex. eEF1A1 is involved in ensuring the correct amino acids are added during protein synthesis which affects protein structure and function. In addition to its canonical role it also engages in processes such as actin filament binding nuclear transport and other cell maintenance tasks.
Pathways
The activities of eEF1A1 intersect with key processes involved in cellular growth and proliferation. It plays a significant role in the mTOR signaling pathway which regulates cell growth by controlling protein synthesis. eEF1A1 also interacts with proteins like Rheb an important player in mTOR signaling. By participating in these pathways eEF1A1 links translation with broader regulatory networks that control cell metabolism.
