1 We identified the human OGFOD1 protein as a novel stress granule component that regulates the phosphorylation of eIF2alpha and the resumption of translation in cells recovering from arsenite-induced stress. arsenite eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2A Homo sapiens
2 Overexpression of OGFOD1 led to increased abundance of phosphorylated eIF2alpha, both in unstressed cells and in cells exposed to arsenite-induced stress, and to accelerated apoptosis during stress. arsenite eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2A Homo sapiens
3 These findings argue that OGFOD1 plays important proapoptotic roles in the regulation of translation and HRI-mediated phosphorylation of eIF2alpha in cells subjected to arsenite-induced stress. arsenite eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2A Homo sapiens
