The translation initiation machinery is emerging as an important target for therapeutic intervention, with potential in the treatment of cancer, viral infections, and muscle wasting. Amongst the targets for pharmacological control of translation initiation is the eukaryotic initiation factor 4A (eIF4A), an RNA helicase that is essential for cap-dependent translation initiation. We set out to explore the system-wide impact of a reduction of functional eIF4A.
