Summary: Enables RNA helicase activity and translation initiation factor activity. Involved in positive regulation of formation of translation preinitiation complex and translational initiation. Located in cytoplasmic stress granule and plasma membrane. Part of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4F complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in neurodevelopmental disorder with hypotonia and speech delay. Orthologous to human EIF4A1 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A1) and EIF4A2 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

mRNA- and factor-driven dynamic variability controls eIF4F-cap recognition for translation initiation.
Title: mRNA- and factor-driven dynamic variability controls eIF4F-cap recognition for translation initiation.
Findings that eIF4A functionally interacts with the pre-initiation complex and plays important roles beyond unwinding 5'-UTR structure is consistent with a recent proposal that eIF4A modulates the conformation of the 40S ribosomal subunit to promote mRNA recruitment.
Title: Yeast eIF4A enhances recruitment of mRNAs regardless of their structural complexity.
Findings suggest that Ded1 is critically required to promote scanning through secondary structures within 5' UTRs, and while eIF4A cooperates with Ded1 in this function, it also promotes a step of initiation common to virtually all yeast mRNAs.
Title: Genome-wide analysis of translational efficiency reveals distinct but overlapping functions of yeast DEAD-box RNA helicases Ded1 and eIF4A.
Overexpression of the translation initiation factor TIF2 increases the induction of HXT1 translation.
Title: Expression of the glucose transporter HXT1 involves the Ser-Thr protein phosphatase Sit4 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Preferred Names: translation initiation factor eIF4A

NP_012397.1

EC 3.6.4.13

Translation initiation factor eIF4A; DEAD-box RNA helicase that couples ATPase activity to mRNA binding and unwinding; ATP hydrolysis accelerates the recruitment of mRNA during 48S preinitiation complex (PIC) assembly; ATPase activity stimulated by either eIF4G1 or by the PIC in an eIF3g and eIFGi subunit-dependent manner, independent of eIF4E and eIF4G; subunit of the mRNA cap-binding protein complex (eIF4F) with eIF4E and eIF4G; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress
