The core of the exon-junction complex consists of Y14, Magoh, MLN51 and eIF4AIII, a DEAD-box RNA helicase. MLN51 stimulates the ATPase activity of eIF4AIII, whilst the Y14-Magoh complex inhibits it. We show that the MLN51-dependent stimulation increases both the affinity of eIF4AIII for ATP and the rate of enzyme turnover; the K(M) is decreased by an order of magnitude and k(cat) increases 30 fold. Y14-Magoh do inhibit the MLN51-stimulated ATPase activity, but not back to background levels. The ATP-bound form of the eIF4AIII-MLN51 complex has a 100-fold higher affinity for RNA than the unbound form and ATP hydrolysis reduces this affinity. MLN51 stimulates the RNA-helicase activity of eIF4AIII, suggesting that this activity may be functionally important.
外显子-接头复合物的核心由 Y14、Magoh、MLN51 和 eIF4AIII(一种 DEAD-box RNA 解旋酶)组成。MLN51 刺激 eIF4AIII 的 ATP 酶活性,而 Y14-Magoh 复合物则抑制其活性。我们表明,MLN51 依赖性刺激可同时提高 eIF4AIII 对 ATP 的亲和力和酶转化的速率;K(M)降低了一个数量级,k(cat)增加了 30 倍。Y14-Magoh 确实会抑制 MLN51 刺激的 ATP 酶活性,但不会降低到背景水平。与未结合形式相比,ATP 结合形式的 eIF4AIII-MLN51 复合物对 RNA 的亲和力高 100 倍,并且 ATP 水解会降低这种亲和力。MLN51 刺激 eIF4AIII 的 RNA 解旋酶活性,表明这种活性可能具有功能重要性。
