Systematic analysis of the eIF4E interactome
![Active mTORC1 phosphorylates 4E-BP, preventing 4E1 binding. (B) mTORC1 inhibition leads to 4E-BP hypophosphorylation; 4E-BP now binds 4E1 and blocks eIF4F](/sites/default/files/styles/ua_landscape/public/media/images/2019-06/proud-figure-active-mtorc1.png?h=cafa2d6d&itok=OA1E0VC5)
