======= EIF2B3 ======= == Gene Information == * **Official Symbol**: EIF2B3 * **Official Name**: eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B subunit gamma * **Aliases and Previous Symbols**: N/A * **Entrez ID**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/?term=8891|8891]] * **UniProt**: [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q9NR50|Q9NR50]] * **Interactions**: [[https://thebiogrid.org/search.php?search=EIF2B3&organism=9606|BioGRID]] * **PubMed articles**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=gene%20EIF2B3|Open PubMed]] * **OMIM**: [[https://omim.org/entry/606273|Open OMIM]] == Function Summary == * **Entrez Summary**: The protein encoded by this gene is one of the subunits of initiation factor eIF2B, which catalyzes the exchange of eukaryotic initiation factor 2-bound GDP for GTP. It has also been found to function as a cofactor of hepatitis C virus internal ribosome entry site-mediated translation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with leukodystrophy with vanishing white matter. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]. * **UniProt Summary**: Catalyzes the exchange of eukaryotic initiation factor 2-bound GDP for GTP. |NTP transf 3| |NTP transferase| |eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B complex| |nucleotidyltransferase activity| |translation factor activity, RNA binding| |oligodendrocyte development| |translation initiation factor activity| |oligodendrocyte differentiation| |hippocampus development| |guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity| |glial cell development| |response to heat| |limbic system development| |response to glucose| |response to hexose| |translational initiation| |response to monosaccharide| |glial cell differentiation| |response to carbohydrate| |pallium development| |T cell receptor signaling pathway| |response to temperature stimulus| |gliogenesis| |telencephalon development| |antigen receptor-mediated signaling pathway| |translation| |forebrain development| |response to peptide hormone| |peptide biosynthetic process| |immune response-activating cell surface receptor signaling pathway| |response to peptide| |immune response-regulating cell surface receptor signaling pathway| |amide biosynthetic process| |peptide metabolic process| |immune response-activating signal transduction| |immune response-regulating signaling pathway| |activation of immune response| |brain development| |head development| |cellular amide metabolic process| |positive regulation of immune response| |response to hormone| |central nervous system development| |response to organonitrogen compound| |response to nitrogen compound| |positive regulation of immune system process| |regulation of immune response| |response to abiotic stimulus| |organonitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |response to endogenous stimulus| |response to oxygen-containing compound| |neurogenesis| |cellular nitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |cell development| |regulation of immune system process| |cellular macromolecule biosynthetic process| |macromolecule biosynthetic process| |gene expression| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp504|MK2206 4μM R08 exp504]]|-1.84| |[[:results:exp426|FBS-Wisent 0.1 R07 exp426]]|1.71| |[[:results:exp343|Centrinone 0.5μM R07 exp343]]|1.75| |[[:results:exp352|Dexamethasone 0.006 to 0.015μM on day4 R07 exp352]]|1.76| |[[:results:exp82|Torin1 0.08μM R02 exp82]]|1.79| |[[:results:exp272|CHIR-124 0.04μM R06 exp272]]|1.84| |[[:results:exp401|SNS-032 25μM R07 exp401]]|2.15| |[[:results:exp512|Olaparib 4μM R08 exp512]]|2.25| ^Gene^Correlation^ |[[:human genes:h:hars|HARS]]|0.648| |[[:human genes:a:alg5|ALG5]]|0.401| Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 686/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|1/1| |909776.0|1/1| |bile duct|27/28| |blood|25/28| |bone|24/26| |breast|31/33| |central nervous system|53/56| |cervix|3/4| |colorectal|16/17| |esophagus|12/13| |fibroblast|1/1| |gastric|16/16| |kidney|21/21| |liver|17/20| |lung|69/75| |lymphocyte|15/16| |ovary|23/26| |pancreas|22/24| |peripheral nervous system|15/16| |plasma cell|13/15| |prostate|1/1| |skin|22/24| |soft tissue|9/9| |thyroid|2/2| |upper aerodigestive|18/22| |urinary tract|27/29| |uterus|4/5| == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **Essentiality Rank**: 439 * **Expression level (log2 read counts)**: 5.03 {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}}
