ICC/IF image of ab31217 stained human HeLa cells. The cells were methanol fixed (5 min) and incubated with the antibody (ab31217, 1μg/ml) for 1h at room temperature. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Image-iTTM FX Signal Enhancer was used to quench autofluorescence. 5% BSA (in TBS-T) was used for all other blocking steps. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue). Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red).

Immunoprecipitation - Anti-eIF4A1 antibody (AB31217)
eIF4A1 was immunoprecipitated using 0.5mg Hela whole cell extract, 5µg of Rabbit polyclonal to eIF4A1 and 50µl of protein G magnetic beads (+). No antibody was added to the control (-).
The antibody was incubated under agitation with Protein G beads for 10min, Hela whole cell extract lysate diluted in RIPA buffer was added to each sample and incubated for a further 10min under agitation.
Proteins were eluted by addition of 40µl SDS loading buffer and incubated for 10min at 70oC; 10µl of each sample was separated on a SDS PAGE gel, transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane, blocked with 5% BSA and probed with ab31217.

eIF4A2 represses translation at initiation. a Western blot demonstrates specificity of immunoprecipitation for each protein from a representative experiment. Input represents 10% of lysate used in IP. Asterisk denotes non-specific signal from IgG. Venn diagram showing numbers of mRNAs significantly (FDR < 0.05) enriched over input in the respective endogenous RIP-Seq (n = 3). b Differential association with polysomes of mRNAs bound to one of the two proteins or both compared to all mRNAs identified in the RIP-Seq experiment. Relative distribution of mRNAs on sucrose density gradients was calculated from RNA-Seq analysis of the subpolysomal and polysomal fractions in a separate experiment (n = 4) by subtracting counts per million between the two fractions. Significance calculated using Dunn’s test with Bonferroni’s correction. c Differential ribosome occupancy of eIF4A2- and eIF4A1-bound messages. Ribosome profiling was performed in HEK293 lysates (n = 3). Ribosome occupancy for each mRNA at each nt position is calculated as the number of ribosome footprints normalized to the mRNA abundance (transcripts per million—TPM). Shown is the mean number of normalized ribosome footprints 75 codons downstream of the AUG and upstream of the STOP codon. d iBAQ—intensity-based absolute quantification [48]—of protein abundance in control conditions in pulsed SILAC for bound mRNAs. e Proportions of mRNAs bound by eIF4A1 and eIF4A2 predicted to be miRNA targets by the Targetscan algorithm. f eIF4A2-bound mRNAs have increased ribosome occupancy in the last 50 nt, but not in the first 50 nt of the 5′UTR. The RPF coverage was normalized for the abundance of the mRNAs (TPM). g Translation of the main AUG start codon is repressed by activation of uORFs in eIF4A2-bound mRNAs. Global translation initiation sequencing (GTI-seq) data from Lee et al. [49], also conducted in HEK293 cells, was used to assess the translation from uORFs in the groups of mRNAs bound by either eIF4A1, eIF4A2, or both. The stacked bars represent the proportions of the groups of mRNAs with active translation from the annotated translation start site, upstream start sites, or both

Biological function summary
The eIF4A1 protein functions as a component of the eIF4F complex which includes eIF4E and eIF4G. This complex modulates the initiation of mRNA translation a critical step in gene expression. By associating with other initiation factors eIF4A1 helps orchestrate the recruitment of the ribosome to capped mRNA. Its activity influences cell growth proliferation and response to environmental signals.
Pathways
EIF4A1 involves in the regulation of the mTOR signaling pathway which controls cell growth based on nutrient availability. It also participates in the integrated stress response pathway linking stress signals to translational control. eIF4A1 interacts with other proteins such as eIF4E and eIF4G through its function within these pathways highlighting its role in translation regulation.
