Eucaryotic initiation factor 4A (eIF-4A) is a member of a family of proteins believed to be involved in the ATP-dependent melting of RNA secondary structure. These proteins contain a derivative of the consensus ATP-binding site AXXGXGKT. To assess the importance of the consensus amino acid sequence in eIF-4A for ATP binding, we mutated the consensus amino-proximal glycine and lysine to isoleucine and asparagine, respectively. The effect of the mutations was examined by UV-induced cross-linking of [alpha-32P]dATP to eIF-4A. Mutation of the lysine residue (but not of the glycine residue) resulted in the loss of [alpha-32P]dATP cross-linking to eIF-4A, suggesting that the lysine is an important determinant in ATP binding to eIF-4A.
