Examined this effect on the mRNA encoding GADD34. They treated wild-type cells (S/S) with thapsigargin (TG) performed an immunoblot for GADD34, eIF-2, as well as phosphorylated eIF-2.

Start from Manfredi Question C: Paradoxically, when phosphorylation of eIF2 phosphorylation inhibits global protein synthesis, there is a selective increase in translation of certain mRNAs. The best studied is that of GCN4.
