Dynamic redistribution of eIF4F controls cap-dependent translation initiation

Riley C. Gentry, Nicholas A. Ide, Victoria M. Comunale…·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 mechanism of mRNA activation

Riley C. Gentry, Nicholas A. Ide, Victoria M. Comunale…·Ruben L. Gonzalez

This study uses single-molecule fluorescence imaging to investigate how eIF4F recognizes and activates mRNA caps, revealing allosteric communication and subunit functions in the process.
