Name | EIF4A1 |
---|---|
Synonyms | DDX2A, EIF4A |
Function | ATP-dependent RNA helicase which is a subunit of the eIF4F complex involved in cap recognition and is required for mRNA binding to ribosome (PubMed:20156963). In the current model of translation initiation, eIF4A unwinds RNA secondary structures in the 5'-UTR of mRNAs which is necessary to allow efficient binding of the small ribosomal subunit, and subsequent scanning for the initiator codon. As a result, promotes cell proliferation and growth (PubMed:20156963). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Cell membrane. Cytoplasm, Stress granule. Note=Colocalizes with PKP1 in stress granules following arsenate or hydrogen peroxide treatment |

Background
Eukaryotic initiation factor 4A-I is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EIF4A1 gene. It is mapped to 17p13.1. EIF4A1 has been shown to interact with EIF4E and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4 gamma.
