The eukaryotic initiation factor eIF4H facilitates loop-binding, repetitive RNA unwinding by the eIF4A DEAD-box helicase
Eukaryotic translation initiation is a highly regulated process in protein synthesis. The principal translation initiation factor eIF4AI displays helicase activity, unwinding secondary structures in the mRNAs 5′-UTR. Single molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (sm-FRET) is applied here to...
