Pharmacological brake-release of mRNA translation enhances cognitive memory

Pharmacological brake-release of mRNA translation enhances cognitive memory

Phosphorylation of the α-subunit of initiation factor 2 (eIF2) controls protein synthesis by a conserved mechanism. In metazoa, distinct stress conditions activate different eIF2α kinases (PERK, PKR, GCN2, and HRI) that converge on phosphorylating a unique serine in eIF2α. This collection of signali...
