Influence of nPTB on hydroxyl radical cleavage of the EMCV IRES in IRES/eIF4Gm/eIF4A complexes from Fe(II)-tethered eIF4Gm. (A) Ribbon diagram of the HEAT-1 domain of eIF4G (PDB: 1hu3), with spheres indicating newly introduced cysteines. (B–D) Primer extension analysis of hydroxyl radical cleavage of the IRES from Fe(II) tethered eIF4Gm in IRES/eIF4Gm/eIF4A complexes in the presence/absence of nPTB. Lanes C, T, A, G depict the corresponding EMCV sequence. IRES domains and nucleotides are indicated on the left of each panel, and cleavage sites are shown on the right; boxed numbers indicate sites at which nPTB enhanced cleavage.
