Abstract

Eukaryotic protein synthesis begins with assembly of 48S initiation complexes at the initiation codon of mRNA, which requires at least seven initiation factors (eIFs). First, 43S preinitiation complexes comprising 40S ribosomal subunits, eIFs 3, 2, 1, and 1A, and tRNA(Met)(i) attach to the 5'-proximal region of mRNA and then scan along the 5' untranslated region (5'UTR) to the initiation codon. Attachment of 43S complexes is mediated by three other eIFs, 4F, 4A, and 4B, which cooperatively unwind the cap-proximal region of mRNA and later also assist 43S complexes during scanning. We now report that these seven eIFs are not sufficient for efficient 48S complex formation on mRNAs with highly structured 5'UTRs, and that this process requires the DExH-box protein DHX29. DHX29 binds 40S subunits and hydrolyzes ATP, GTP, UTP, and CTP. NTP hydrolysis by DHX29 is strongly stimulated by 43S complexes and is required for DHX29's activity in promoting 48S complex formation.
