Nuclear distribution of eIF3g and its interacting nuclear proteins in breast cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit g (eIF3g) is a core subunit of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 complex, and is important in the initiation of translation. It is also involved in caspase-mediated apoptosis, and is upregulated in multidrug-resistant cancer cells. In the present study, the nuclear distribution of eIF3g was determined by performing co-immunoprecipitation of proteins that potentially interact with eIF3g in the nucleus. Mass spectrometry characterization showed that three proteins, heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein U/scaffold attachment factor A, HSZFP36/zinc finger protein 823 and β‑actin, were among the candidate eIF3g‑interacting proteins in the nucleus. The protein‑protein interaction was further confirmed by cross‑linking and a glutat
