The eIF2alpha phosphorylation pathway as a novel component of PI3K signaling with implications in tumor treatment

Inhibition of protein synthesis by phosphorylation of eIF2alpha on serine 51 is mediated by a family of kinases activated by various forms of stress. The biological outcome of eIF2alpha phosphorylation can either be cytoprotective or pro-apoptotic. Translation is also regulated at the initiation ste...
