eIF5B and eIF1A remodel human translation initiation complexes to mediate ribosomal subunit joining

Abstract

Joining of the ribosomal subunits at a translation start site on a messenger RNA during initiation commits the ribosome to synthesize a protein. Here, we combined single-molecule spectroscopy and structural methods using an in vitro reconstituted system to examine how the human ribosomal subunits join. Single-molecule fluorescence revealed when universally-conserved eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) eIF1A and eIF5B associate with and depart from initiation complexes. Guided by single-molecule dynamics, we examined initiation complexes that contained both eIF1A and eIF5B using single-particle electron cryo-microscopy. The resulting structure illuminated how eukaryote-specific contacts between eIF1A and eIF5B remodel the initiation complex to orient initiator tRNA in a conformation compatible with ribosomal subunit joining. Collectively, our findings provide a quantitative and architectural framework for the molecular choreography orchestrated by eIF1A and eIF5B during human translation initiation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
