Rocaglamide A (RocA) typifies a class of protein synthesis inhibitors that selectively kill aneuploid tumor cells and repress translation of specific mRNAs. RocA targets eukaryotic initiation factor 4A (eIF4A), an ATP-dependent DEAD-box RNA helicase; its mRNA selectivity is proposed to reflect highl...

Rocaglamide A (RocA) typifies a novel class of protein synthesis inhibitors that selectively kill aneuploid tumor cells and repress translation of specific mRNAs. RocA targets eukaryotic initiation factor 4A (eIF4A), the prototypical DEAD-box RNA helicase, and its mRNA selectivity is proposed to ref...

The translational control of oncoprotein expression is implicated in many cancers. Here we report an eIF4A/DDX2 RNA helicase-dependent mechanism of translational control that contributes to oncogenesis and underlies the anticancer effects of Silvestrol and related compounds. For example, eIF4A promo...

Ribosome profiling of MDA-MB-231 cells treated with Silvestrol to monitor transcriptome wide, eIF4A-dependent changes in translation efficiency Translation efficiency (TE) of mRNAs dervied from ribosome footprints was monitored in the presence or absence of 25 nM Silvestrol, an inhibitor of eukaryot...

This is a transcription profiling study on yeast undergoing glucose depletion. It reveals that glucose depletion inhibits translation initiation in a mechanism involving eIF4A loss and 48S pre-initiation complex accumulation, while the pentose phosphate pathway is co-ordinately up-regulated
ORGANISM(S): Saccharomyces cerevisiae 
This is a polysome/monosome profiling study on yeast undergoing glucose depletion. Polysomes and monosomes are extracted and the transcripts bound to each fraction are measured by microarray. The study reveals that glucose depletion inhibits translation initiation in a mechanism involving eIF4A loss...

Protein-ligand interactions are central to protein activity and cell functionality. Improved knowledge of these relationships greatly benefits our understanding of key biological processes and aids in rational drug design towards the treatment of clinically relevant diseases. Carbene footprinting is...

DEAD-box RNA helicases eIF4A and Ded1 are believed to promote translation initiation by resolving mRNA secondary structures that impede ribosome attachment at the mRNA 5’ end or subsequent scanning of the 5’UTR, but whether they perform distinct functions or act redundantly in vivo is poorly underst...

The nucleation of RNP granules requires the participation of mRNAs, which simultaneously as becoming their target, dictate their properties. Here we report that in Arabidopsis the RNA helicase eIF4A limits the condensation of P-bodies acting as an RNA chaperone, disassembled from the eIF4F complex. ...
