HSP70 also interacted with C-terminal fragment of eEF2, which could reverse the nucleus translocation and cardiomyocyte apoptosis caused by N-terminal fragment of eEF2. HSP70 draw on advantage and avoid defect of MIR through regulating phosphorylation and nucleus translocation of eEF2

Using an eEF2K gain-of-function design in vitro as well as eEF2K-KO mice, we show that eEF2K activity regulates the excitation/inhibition balance by downregulating vesicle release at inhibitory synapses and tonic inhibition. This translates into a reduced susceptibility of eEF2K-KO mice for seizures without major behavioral alterations with the exception of impaired contextual and trace fear memory

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
