<i>In silico</i> , biochemical, and <i>in vitro</i> analysis of silvestrol binding to the DEAD box RNA helicase eIF4A reveals broad anti-pathogen potential of rocaglates across the eukaryotic tree of life
2022-09-10
Abstract excerpt
Selective inhibition of eukaryotic initiation factor 4A (eIF4A), an RNA helicase, has been proposed as a strategy to fight pathogens. Plant-derived rocaglates exhibit some of the highest specificities among eIF4A inhibitors. Sensitivity to rocaglates is determined by key amino acid (aa) residues mediating reversible clamping of the eIF4A:RNA complex. To date, no comprehensive assessment of eIF4A sensitivity to roc...
