Abstract

The structure of the eukaryotic initiation factor eIF4E bound to a cognate domain of eIF4G and m(7)GDP in this issue of Cell shows that these factors undergo coupled folding to form a stable complex with high cap binding activity that promotes efficient ribosomal attachment to mRNA during translation initiation.
