Dynamic redistribution of eIF4F controls cap-dependent translation initiation

Riley C. Gentry, Nicholas A. Ide, Victoria M. Comunale, Colin Echeverría Aitken, Colin D. Kinz-Thompson, Ruben L. Gonzalez

This study uses single-molecule fluorescence microscopy to show that ATP binding enables eIF4F redistribution on mRNA, while ATP hydrolysis is required for eIF4F recycling during PIC loading.

The eIF3a subunit drives RNA binding within the eIF3 complex

Nicholas A. Ide, Riley C. Gentry, Brennan Ashwood, Margaret A Rudbach, Kyungyoon Yoo, Paloma Kai Velez, Victoria M Communale, Erik W. Hartwick, Colin D. Kinz-Thompson, Ruben L. Gonzalez, Colin Echeverría Aitken

This study reconstitutes a biochemically active yeast eIF3 complex and shows that eIF3a provides core RNA-binding activity, modulated by interactions with other subunits.
