Abstract

eIF2 is a G protein critical for translation. It is tightly regulated in the integrated stress response (ISR) via phosphorylation of eIF2α and the subsequent control of eIF2B, a multisubunit guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF). Through studying the localisation of eIF2B subunits we identified cytoplasmic eIF2B bodies in mammalian cells. We highlight a relationship between body size and the eIF2B subunits localising to them; larger bodies contain all subunits and smaller bodies contain predominantly catalytic subunits. eIF2 localises to eIF2B bodies and shuttles within these bodies in a manner which correlates with eIF2B activity. Upon stress eIF2α-P localises predominately to larger bodies and results in a decreased shuttling of eIF2. Interestingly drugs which inhibit the ISR can rescue eIF2 shuttling in a manner correlating to levels of eIF2α-P. In contrast, smaller bodies show increased eIF2 shuttling in response to stress, which is accompanied by the localisation of eIF2Bδ to these bodies, suggesting the formation of a novel trimeric complex of eIF2B. This response is mimicked by ISR inhibiting drugs, providing insight into their potential mechanism of action. This study provides evidence that the composition and function of mammalian eIF2B bodies is regulated by the ISR and drugs which control it.
