Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to elucidate the pathogenesis of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), we investigated the role of TCTP-mediated translational control mechanism in NF1 tumor cells. TCTP significantly binds to the translation elongation factor complex, and in particular, TCTP forms a complex with the translation elongation factors including EF1A2, which promotes protein translation in NF1 tumor cells. Therefore, This study demonatrates that TCTP promotes the pathogenesis of NF1 tumor by activating the protein translation elongation by interacting with EF1A2.
