EEF2

Description

eukaryotic translation elongation factor 2

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the GTP-binding translation elongation factor family. This protein is an essential factor for protein synthesis. It promotes the GTP-dependent translocation of the nascent protein chain from the A-site to the P-site of the ribosome. This protein is completely inactivated by EF-2 kinase phosporylation.

Executive summary

  • EEF2 was screened in 216 cell lines with 5 shRNAs, and 285 cell lines with 5 shRNAs.
  • EEF2 was a six-sigma dependency in 8 cell lines.
  • The search for "Related features" MDPs resulted in the most predictive model for EEF2 which had an out-of-bag R^2 of 0.33 (FDR 1.03e-02). In addition, this gene had a significant model when searching for the following MDPs: "Unbiased", "Related features", "CYCLOPS".
  • EEF2 was annotated as potentially druggable (either in DGIDB or IUPHAR/BPS Guide to PHARMACOLOGY).
