In Cell Chemical Biology, Naineni et al. (2021) report the structure of a synthetic analog of the translation inhibitor pateamine A bound to initiation factor eIF4A and RNA. The drug stacks with RNA bases in the same pocket where unrelated rocaglate compounds bind, highlighting a druggable site for DEAD-box proteins.
在《细胞化学生物学》中,Naineni 等人(2021 年)报道了翻译抑制剂 pateamine A 的合成类似物与起始因子 eIF4A 和 RNA 结合的结构。该药物与 RNA 碱基在同一个口袋中堆积,而不相关的 rocaglate 化合物则与该口袋结合,这突出了 DEAD 盒蛋白的一个可成药位点。
