Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** EIF4A1 is a single-codon-decoding gene that encodes a protein with helicase and ATPase activity. Its primary function is to facilitate the translation initiation process by binding to the mRNA cap and recruiting the 43S ribosomal subunit. This gene is highly conserved across species, suggesting its essential role in eukaryotic translation initiation. EIF4A1 is also involved in various cellular processes, including antiviral mechanisms, cytokine signaling, and protein metabolism. **Pathways and Functions:** EIF4A1 is embedded in multiple signaling pathways, including: 1. **Activation of mRNA upon binding of the cap-binding complex and eIFs**: EIF4A1 plays a crucial role in the recruitment of the 43S ribosomal subunit to the mRNA cap, facilitating the initiation of translation. 2. **Antiviral mechanisms by IFN-stimulated genes**: EIF4A1 is involved in the regulation of antiviral gene expression in response to interferons (IFNs). 3. **ATP binding and hydrolysis activity**: EIF4A1 exhibits ATPase activity, which is essential for its helicase function. 4. **Cap-dependent translation initiation**: EIF4A1 is a key component of the cap-dependent translation initiation pathway, which is responsible for the translation of mRNAs containing the 5' cap. 5. **Cytokine signaling in the immune system**: EIF4A1 is involved in the regulation of cytokine signaling, which is essential for the proper functioning of the immune system. 6. **Deadenylation-dependent mRNA decay**: EIF4A1 is involved in the regulation of mRNA decay, which is essential for the control of gene expression. **Clinical Significance:** EIF4A1 has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Cancer**: EIF4A1 has been found to be overexpressed in several types of cancer, including breast, lung, and colon cancer. 2. **Infectious diseases**: EIF4A1 has been shown to play a role in the regulation of antiviral gene expression in response to IFNs. 3. **Neurological disorders**: EIF4A1 has been implicated in the regulation of protein metabolism and has been found to be associated with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease. 4. **Immune system disorders**: EIF4A1 has been found to be involved in the regulation of cytokine signaling and has been implicated in immune system disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis. In conclusion, EIF4A1 is a multifaceted gene that plays a crucial role in eukaryotic translation initiation and various cellular processes. Its significant expression in various cell types underscores its importance in multiple biological processes. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the functions and clinical significance of EIF4A1.
