Required for the binding of mRNA to ribosomes. Functions in close association with EIF4-F and EIF4-A. Binds near the 5'-terminal cap of mRNA in presence of EIF-4F and ATP. Promotes the ATPase activity and the ATP-dependent RNA unwinding activity of both EIF4-A and EIF4-F.1) Gingras, A. C. et al. (2001) Genes Dev. 15, 807-826. Duncan, R. and Hershey, J. W. (1985) J.
