About the Book

The timely reviews and research papers contained in this publication provide a unique snapshot on the current status of research on hypusine formation, a unique post-translational modification occurring in archaebacteria and eukaryotic cells, but not in eubacteria. Only one cellular protein, the eukaryotic initiation factor 5A (eIF-5A), is known to contain the modified amino acid residue, termed hypusine. Molecular genetic and pharmacological studies indicate that this modification is essential for cell survival and proliferation. Recently, eIF-5A has also been implicated as a cofactor in the action of HIV-1 viral protein Rev. Several laboratories have initiated efforts to exploit hypusine formation as a potential target site for cancer and AIDS chemotherapy. Currently, most of the molecular biological tools are available for studying the biochemistry and function of hypusine formation. The major challenge now is to define precisely the physiological role of elF-5A in cell growth regulation. This publication represents the first collection of papers devoted exclusively to hypusine research. Life scientists in all areas will find this publication informative and useful.

Table of Contents:
Biochemistry and function of hypusine formation on eukaryotic initiation factor 5A, K.Y. Chen and A.Y.-C. Liu; growth of studies on hypusine in biological systems, S.S. Cohen; hypusine is essential for eukaryotic cell proliferation, M.H. Park et al; eukaryotic initiation factor 5A activity and HIV-1 rev function, D. Bevec and J. Hauber; two distinct pathways for intronless mRNA expression - one related, the other unrelated to human immunodeficiency virus rev and human T cell leukaemia virus type 1 rex functions, T. Kiyokawa et al; effects of inhibitors of RNA and protein synthesis on the subcellular distribution of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor, elF-5A, and the HIV-1 rev protein, X.-P. Shi et al; cellular eukaryotic initiation factor 5A content as a mediator of polyamine effects of growth and apoptotis, M.E. Tome and E.W. Gerner; novel features of the functional site and expression of the yeast deoxhypusine synthase, Md.R. Abid et al; Y.P. interaction of eukaryotic initiation factor 5A with the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 rev response element RNA and U6 snRNA requires deoxhypusine or hypusine modification, Y.P. Liu et al.
