We have found two isoforms of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) in Xenopus laevis. These proteins differ in length by 18 amino acids. Overexpression of either of the two eIF4E proteins modestly increase translation in Xenopus oocytes. The results suggest that both of these two isoforms function in translation.
