Protein synthesis is a highly regulated process and it is vital to life. If the rate of translation is too slow, proteins will not be replaced fast enough causing an imbalance in protein turnover and eventual cell death. On the other hand, if the rate of translation is too fast, it can lead to uncontrolled growth and potential tumorigenesis. The scientific community is now trying to exploit this concept to create novel anticancer therapies using inhibitors of translation. These inhibitors have also been invaluable to dissecting the mechanism of translation.Hippuistanol is an inhibitor of translation initiation which inhibits eIF4A:RNA interaction. Herein I characterize the binding site of hippuristanol on eIF4A and develop hippuristanol-res...
