Turnover measurements in the presence of cycloheximide show that, whereas 4E-BP1 is normally a very stable protein, calyculin A decreases the apparent half-life of the normal-sized protein.

Activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) causes the dissociation of eukaryotic initiation factor 4E complex (eIF4E)-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1) from eIF4E, leading to increased eIF4F complex formation. mTORC1 positively regulates protein synthesis and is implicated in several diseases including cardiac hypertrophy, a potentially fatal disorder involving increased cardiomyocyte size.

J Biol Chem. 2010 Feb 26;285(9):6595-603. Epub 2009 Dec 28.

PPARgamma degradation rates are remarkably rapid as measured in the presence of cycloheximide (t (1/2) = 2 h), but silencing Map4k4 had no effect on PPARgamma degradation.
We show a function of Map4k4 is to inhibit rapamycin-sensitive mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) activity, decreasing 4E-BP1 phosphorylation.

17259394 Mariappan MM, Feliers D, Mummidi S, Choudhury GG, Kasinath BS: High glucose, high insulin, and their combination rapidly induce laminin-beta1 synthesis by regulation of mRNA translation in renal epithelial cells. Diabetes. 2007 Feb;56(2):476-85.

Cycloheximide, but not actinomycin-D, abrogated increased laminin-beta1 synthesis.
High glucose, high insulin, and high glucose+high insulin stimulated phosphorylation of 4E-BP1, a repressor binding protein for eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E), that was dependent on activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, Akt, and mammalian target of rapamycin.

Cycloheximide, but not actinomycin D, significantly reduced chemotaxis, suggesting a possible role for mRNA translation in T-cell migration.

Administration of recombinant human IL-8 induced a rapid, time-dependent increase in cyclin D1 expression in AIPC cells, a response attenuated by the translation inhibitor cycloheximide but not by the RNA synthesis inhibitor, actinomycin D.
Immunoblotting using phospho-specific antibodies confirmed that recombinant human IL-8 induced rapid time-dependent phosphorylation of Akt and the mammalian target of rapamycin substrate proteins, 4E-BP1 and ribosomal S6 kinase, resulting in a downstream phosphorylation of the ribosomal S6 protein (rS6).

Since it was blocked by the translation inhibitor cycloheximide, we examined whether sustained exposure to glibenclamide activates translational factors by calcium-dependent signalling pathways.
RESULTS: A 24 h exposure to glibenclamide induced activation of four translation factors, i.e. phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4e binding protein 1 and ribosomal protein S6 (rpS6), and dephosphorylation of eIF-2alpha and eukaryotic elongation factor 2.

Cycloheximide treatment, which blocked protein synthesis, does not induce neuroblasts apoptosis.
Lovastatin treatment decreases the phosphorylation state of mTOR substrates, p70S6K and eukaryotic translation initiation factor (eIF) 4E-binding protein 1 and simultaneously increases eIF4E-binding protein 1 in a time-dependent manner.
