A fluorescence study of the binding of eucaryotic initiation factors to messenger RNA and messenger RNA analogues
D J Goss et al. Biochemistry. 1987.
Abstract
The binding of the eucaryotic polypeptide chain initiation factors (eIFs) 4A, 4B, and 4F to poly(1,N6-ethenoadenylic acid) [poly(epsilon A)] was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy. Competition experiments allowed us to determine the relative affinity of these proteins for mRNA cap analogues and the triplets AUG, GUG, UUU, UAA, and UGA. The salt dependence of eIF-4A binding to poly(epsilon A) and mRNA suggested that the binding was largely electrostatic and was enhanced in the presence of Mg2+ and ATP. The size of the binding site of eIF-4A, eIF-4B, and eIF-4F on poly(epsilon A) was approximately 13, 25, and 35 nucleotides, respectively. Fluorescence studies with the cap analogue 7-methylguanosine triphosphate as well as competition studies with poly(epsilon A) provide further evidence for a direct interaction of eIF-4F with the cap region. There was no evidence that either eIF-4B or eIF-4A bound the mRNA cap directly. In contrast to the other two factors, eIF-4B was found to bind preferentially to AUG, and of all the triplets tested, AUG was the most effective competitor for poly(epsilon A) binding.
