  ABSTRACT  
 
The eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A (eIF4A) is a member of the DEA(D/H)-box RNA helicase family, a diverse group of proteins that couples an ATPase activity to RNA binding and unwinding. Previous work has provided the structure of the amino-terminal, ATP-binding domain of eIF4A. Extending those results, we have solved the structure of the carboxyl-terminal domain of eIF4A with data to 1.75 A resolution; it has a parallel alpha-beta topology that superimposes, with minor variations, on the structures and conserved motifs of the equivalent domain in other, distantly related helicases. Using data to 2.8 A resolution and molecular replacement with the refined model of the carboxyl-terminal domain, we have completed the structure of full-length eIF4A; it is a "dumbbell" structure consisting of two compact domains connected by an extended linker. By using the structures of other helicases as a template, compact structures can be modeled for eIF4A that suggest (i) helicase motif IV binds RNA; (ii) Arg-298, which is conserved in the DEA(D/H)-box RNA helicase family but is absent from many other helicases, also binds RNA; and (iii) motifs V and VI "link" the carboxyl-terminal domain to the amino-terminal domain through interactions with ATP and the DEA(D/H) motif, providing a mechanism for coupling ATP binding and hydrolysis with conformational changes that modulate RNA binding.

Figure 1.
Fig. 1. Structure of the carboxyl-terminal domain of eIF4A. (A) Stereoview, ribbon drawing of the structure. Conserved motifs are colored as follows: motif IV, VIFCNTRR, residues 263-270, green; "conserved R" motif, residue Arg-298, purple; motif V, RGID, residues 321-324, magenta; motif VI, HRIGRGGR, residues 345-352, cyan. The strands of the -sheet are labeled sequentially. This and subsequent ribbon drawings were prepared with MOLSCRIPT (34) and rendered with RASTER3D (35). (B) Topology diagram of the structure. -Strands are shown as arrows; -helices, as cylinders. -Strands and -helices are labeled sequentially as 1-7 and [1]- [6], respectively. Sequences of the conserved motifs are shown in boxes; residues whose side chains are illustrated in A and subsequent figures are underlined.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB codes are shown on the right.
