Members of the p56 family of mammalian proteins are strongly induced in virus-infected cells and in cells treated with interferons or double-stranded RNA. Previously, we have reported that human p56 inhibits initiation of translation by binding to the e subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 3 (eIF3) and subsequently interfering with the eIF3/eIF2.GTP.Met-tRNA(i) (ternary complex) interaction. Here we report that mouse p56 also interferes with eIF3 functions and inhibits translation. However, the murine protein binds to the c subunit, not the e subunit, of eIF3. Consequently, it has only a marginal effect on eIF3-ternary complex interaction. Instead, the major inhibitory effect of mouse p56 is manifested at a different step of translation initiation, namely the binding of eIF4F to the 40 S ribosomal subunit.eIF3.ternary complex. Thus, mouse and human p56 proteins block different functions of eIF3 by binding to its different subunits.
