Summary
EIF4ENIF1 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E nuclear import factor 1, HGNC:16687) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 22q12.2, encoding Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E transporter (Q9NRA8). EIF4E-binding protein that regulates translation and stability of mRNAs in processing bodies (P-bodies).
The protein encoded by this gene is a nucleocytoplasmic shuttle protein for the translation initiation factor eIF4E. This shuttle protein interacts with the importin alpha-beta complex to mediate nuclear import of eIF4E. It is predominantly cytoplasmic; its own nuclear import is regulated by a nuclear localization signal and nuclear export signals. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 14)
- human P bodies contain the cap-binding protein eIF4E and the related factor eIF4E-transporter (eIF4E-T), suggesting novel roles for these proteins in targeting mRNAs for 5’ –> 3’ degradation (PMID:15840819)
- A role for the eIF4E-binding protein 4E-T in P-body formation and mRNA decay is described. (PMID:16157702)
- Overexpression of eIF4E-T triggers the movement of eIF4E into the processing bodies. (PMID:18343217)
- Hsp90 probably contributes to the correct localization of eIF4E and 4E-T to stress granules and also to the interaction between eIF4E and eIF4G, both of which may be needed for eIF4E to acquire the physiological functionality (PMID:19850929)
- The c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) is targeted to processing bodies in response to oxidative stress and promotes the phosphorylation of 4E-T. (PMID:22966201)
- Data demonstrate that EIF4ENIF1 is associated with dominantly inherited primary ovarian insufficiency. (PMID:23902945)
- that while both eIF4E1 and eIF4E2 bind 4E-T via the canonical YX 4Lvarphi sequence, nearby downstream sequences also influence eIF4E:4E-T interactions (PMID:23991149)
- This work has demonstrated the conserved yet unpredicted and surprising translational control of bound mRNAs by 4E-T, which does not involve eIF4E, nor P-body components. (PMID:24335285)
- neural precursors are transcriptionally primed to generate neurons, but an eIF4E/4E-T complex sequesters and represses translation of proneurogenic proteins to determine appropriate neurogenesis. (PMID:25456498)
- our data support a model where 4E-T promotes mRNA turnover by physically linking the 3’-terminal mRNA decay machinery to the 5’ cap (PMID:26027925)
- we demonstrate that joint deletion of two short conserved motifs that bind UNR and DDX6 relieves repression of 4E-T-bound mRNA, in part reliant on the 4E-T-DDX6-CNOT1 axis. (PMID:27342281)
- EIF4ENIF1 variants in two patients with non-syndromic premature ovarian insufficiency. (PMID:36030004)
- An intramolecular disulphide bond in human 4E-T affects its binding to eIF4E1a protein. (PMID:37798395)
- POI-associated EIF4ENIF1 mutations exhibit impaired translation regulation abilities. (PMID:38604507)

Function. EIF4E-binding protein that regulates translation and stability of mRNAs in processing bodies (P-bodies). Plays a key role in P-bodies to coordinate the storage of translationally inactive mRNAs in the cytoplasm and prevent their degradation. Acts as a binding platform for multiple RNA-binding proteins: promotes deadenylation of mRNAs via its interaction with the CCR4-NOT complex, and blocks decapping via interaction with eIF4E (EIF4E and EIF4E2), thereby protecting deadenylated and repressed mRNAs from degradation. Component of a multiprotein complex that sequesters and represses translation of proneurogenic factors during neurogenesis. Promotes miRNA-mediated translational repression. Required for the formation of P-bodies. Involved in mRNA translational repression mediated by the miRNA effector TNRC6B by protecting TNRC6B-targeted mRNAs from decapping and subsequent decay. Also acts as a nucleoplasmic shuttling protein, which mediates the nuclear import of EIF4E and DDX6 by a piggy-back mechanism.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts (via YXXXXLphi motif) with EIF4E. Interacts (via YXXXXLphi motif) with EIF4E2. Interacts with DDX6. Interacts with CSDE1/UNR. Interacts with CNOT1; promoting association with the CCR4-NOT complex. Interacts with LSM14A; promoting EIF4ENIF1 localization to P-bodies. Interacts with PATL1. Interacts with importin beta only in the presence of importin alpha, suggesting a direct interaction with importin alpha. Interacts with APOBEC3G in an RNA-dependent manner.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. P-body. Nucleus. PML body. Nucleus speckle.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylation by MAPK8/JNK1 and or MAPK9/JNK2 in response to oxidative stress promotes P-body assembly. Phosphorylated during meiotic maturation.
Domain organisation. Intrinsically disordered protein with multiple low-complexity regions that confer binding to multiple RNA translation, deadenylation and decapping factors. The YXXXXLphi motif mediates interaction with eIF4E (EIF4E and EIF4E2).
Similarity. Belongs to the 4E-T/EIF4E-T family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 142 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
