Abstract: Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4 e( eIF4E) is a necessary factor for many viruses infecting plants. The plant expression vectors of Cp-eIF4E and Cp-eIFiso4E were constructed,fused with green fluorescent protein( GFP),and transformed into the protoplasts of tobacco leaf to study the subcellular localization of papaya eIF4E family. The results showed that Cp-eIF4E and Cp-e IFiso4 E were expressed in the cytoplasm and nucleus. This study would lay a foundation for further study of the interactions between the papaya eIF4E family proteins and viruses,and their functions in virus infection.
