The usurping of translational control by sustained activation of translation initiation factors is oncogenic. Here, we show that the primary negative regulators of these oncogenic initiation factors--the 4E-BP protein family--operate as guardians of a translational control checkpoint in lung tumor defense. When challenged with the tobacco carcinogen 4-(methylnitrosamino)-I-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK), 4ebp1(-/-)/4ebp2(-/-) mice showed increased sensitivity to tumorigenesis compared with their wild-type counterparts. The 4E-BP-deficient state per se creates pro-oncogenic, genome-wide skewing of the molecular landscape, with translational activation of genes governing angiogenesis, growth, and proliferation, and translational activation of the precise cytochrome p450 enzyme isoform (CYP2A5) that bioactivates NNK into mutagenic metabolites. Our study provides in vivo proof for a translational control checkpoint in lung tumor defense.
