Understanding the role of eIF4A in gene regulation in health and disease

Eukaryotic initiation factor 4A (eIF4A) is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase responsible for unwinding the secondary structure of mRNAs. In humans, eIF4A exists as three separate paralogs: eIF4AI and eIF4AII possess a high degree of homology while eIF4AIII is distinct. Knockdown of eIF4AII had no effect...
