The study reveals a noncanonical role of eIF6 in regulating focal adhesion formation, mechanosensing, and cell mechanics, independent of its translational role.
eIF6 is known for its role as a stimulatory translation initiation factor. In this issue, Keen et al. (2022.J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202005213) identify a novel, noncanonical role, whereby eIF6 regulates focal adhesion formation, mechanosensing, and cell mechanics, independent of its translational role.
