title: Translational dysregulation by Pateamine A.
abstract: Pateamine A inhibits translation by preventing proper translational initiation complex formation. In the December issue of Chemistry & Biology, Bordeleau et al. demonstrated that the effects of Patemine A on translation are mediated through the interaction between the RNA helicase eIF4A and mRNA .
