The signalling pathway governing Gcn2 kinase allows cells to cope with amino acid shortage. Under starvation, Gcn2 phosphorylates the translation initiation factor eIF2α, triggering downstream events that ultimately allow cells to cope with starvation. Under nutrient-replete conditions, the translation elongation factor eEF1A binds Gcn2 to contribute to keeping Gcn2 inactive. Here, we aimed to map the regions in eEF1A involved in binding and/or regulating Gcn2. We find that eEF1A amino acids 1-221 and 222-315, containing most of domains I and II, respective
