PHAS/4E-BPs as regulators of mRNA translation and cell proliferation.
Insulin and growth factors elicit rapid increases in protein synthesis by stimulating mRNA translation. PHAS/4E-BPs, a recently discovered family of elF4E-binding, proteins, appear to play a key role in this process, as well as in the control of cell proliferation.
