🚨 New @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social! How essential is an essential gene? 🤔 We show that the duplicated #yeast #eIF5A genes act as a population-level backup system, but that eIF5A itself remains irreplaceable in eukaryotic cells. 📄 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

eIF5A is an indispensable protein for eukaryotic cells

eIF5A is an evolutionarily conserved protein found in all eukaryotes, and in Archaea and bacteria. It functions as a translation factor promoting ribosomal elongation, and it can also bind to genes in...
