Optimization of eIF4E-Binding Peptide Pep8 to Disrupt the RBM38-eIF4E Complex for Induction of p53 and Tumor Suppression

Interaction of RNA-binding protein RBM38 with eIF4E on p53 mRNA is known to suppress p53 mRNA translation, which can be disrupted by an 8-amino acid peptide (Pep8-YPYAASPA) derived from RBM38, leading to induction of p53 and tumor suppression. Here, we rationally designed multiple Pep8 derivatives a...
