Target Background

Function
Metabolic-stress sensing protein kinase that phosphorylates the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (EIF2S1/eIF-2-alpha) in response to low amino acid availability. Plays a role as an activator of the integrated stress response (ISR) required for adaptation to amino acid starvation. EIF2S1/eIF-2-alpha phosphorylation in response to stress converts EIF2S1/eIF-2-alpha in a global protein synthesis inhibitor, leading to a global attenuation of cap-dependent translation, and thus to a reduced overall utilization of amino acids, while concomitantly initiating the preferential translation of ISR-specific mRNAs, such as the transcriptional activator ATF4, and hence allowing ATF4-mediated reprogramming of amino acid biosynthetic gene expression to alleviate nutrient depletion. Binds uncharged tRNAs. Involved in cell cycle arrest by promoting cyclin D1 mRNA translation repression after the unfolded protein response pathway (UPR) activation or cell cycle inhibitor CDKN1A/p21 mRNA translation activation in response to amino acid deprivation. Plays a role in the consolidation of synaptic plasticity, learning as well as formation of long-term memory. Plays a role in neurite outgrowth inhibition. Plays a proapoptotic role in response to glucose deprivation. Promotes global cellular protein synthesis repression in response to UV irradiation independently of the stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (SAPK/JNK) and p38 MAPK signaling pathways. Plays a role in the antiviral response against alphavirus infection; impairs early viral mRNA translation of the incoming genomic virus RNA, thus preventing alphavirus replication.; (Microbial infection) Plays a role in modulating the adaptive immune response to yellow fever virus infection; promotes dendritic cells to initiate autophagy and antigene presentation to both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cells under amino acid starvation.

  1. Heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by reduced penetrance, variable expressivity, and female predominance. Biallelic germline mutations in the gene EIF2AK4 are now associated with pulmonary veno-occlusive disease and pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis. [review] PMID: 29032562
  2. GCN2 level was closely associateed with PRCC clinical parameters, larger tumor size, higher TNM stage, higher Fuhurman Grade, and lymph node metastasis. GCN2 overexpression is a prognostic biomarker linked to decreased OS and PFS of PRCC patients. PMID: 29865032
  3. basal ASNS expression at protein levels was significantly correlated with sensitivity to combined treatment. These results provide mechanistic insights into the role of GCN2 in the amino acid response and a rationale for further investigation of GCN2 inhibitors for the treatment of cancer. PMID: 30061420
  4. The biallelic founder mutation in EIF2AK4 was found in all affected cases and 2 unaffected relatives. Family screening showed 34.2% of healthy heterozygotes, high consanguinity, young age at childbirth, and frequent multiparity. Prognosis was bleak, with significant differences depending on tolerance to PVD. PMID: 28697925

  13. This is the first reported case of EIF2AK4 mutation in PVOD in a Chinese patient population. We found the frameshift EIF2AK4 mutation c.1392delT (p.Arg465fs) in this case. PMID: 27684876
  14. IDO, through GCN2 kinase activation, downregulates the levels of TCRcomplex tchain and cMyc, resulting in the suppression of Tcell proliferation and a reduction in the levels of LDHA and GLS2 PMID: 26647830
  15. EIF2AK4 mutation was associated with pulmonary veno-occlusive disease. PVOD patients who were not significantly exposed to trichloroethylene were more likely to harbour EIF2AK4 mutations. PMID: 26541523

  18. Upon deprivation of various amino acids, activated GCN2 up-regulates ATF4 to induce expression of the stress response protein Sestrin2, which is required to sustain repression of mTORC1 by blocking its lysosomal localization PMID: 26543160
  19. IDO through GCN2 kinase activation inhibits CD4(+) T-cell proliferation and down-regulates key enzymes that directly or indirectly promote FA synthesis, a prerequisite for CD4(+) T-cell proliferation and differentiation into effector cell lineages. PMID: 26147366
  20. GCN2 can exert its proapoptotic function in cancer cell death by posttranslational mechanisms. PMID: 25589675
