Elongation factor 2-diphthamide is critical for translation of two IRES-dependent protein targets, XIAP and FGF2, under oxidative stress conditions
(Elsevier, 2013)
Elongation factor-2 (eEF2) catalyzes the movement of the ribosome along the mRNA. A single histidine residue in eEF2 (H715) is modified to form diphthamide. A role for eEF2 in cellular stress responses is highlighted by ...

In vitro and in Vivo Protection by Melatonin Against the Decline of Elongation Factor-2 Caused by Lipid Peroxidation: Preservation of Protein Synthesis
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012)
As organisms age, a considerable decrease in protein synthesis takes place in all tissues. Among the possible causes of the decline of translation in old animals are the modifications of elongation factor-2 (eEF- 2). eEF-2 ...

Potential use of adipose tissue stem cells in the control of aging
(Federation of Anti-Aging Medicine Societies, 2012)
Cell therapy with adult stem cells is a new battle front for the control of aging. Before being used for this purpose, we need to answer several basic questions about the biochemistry and physiology of these cells. This ...

Molecular Control of the Amount, Subcellular Location and Activity State of Translation Elongation Factor 2 (eEF-2) in Neurons Experiencing Stress
(Eslsevier, 2013)
Eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF-2) is an important regulator of the protein translation machinery wherein it controls the movement of the ribosome along the mRNA. The activity of eEF-2 is regulated by changes in cellular ...
