See sections below for more information
The gene Eukaryotic initiation factor 4a is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\eIF-4a (CG9075, FBgn0001942). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: translation initiation factor activity; RNA helicase activity. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: centrosome organization; germ-line stem cell maintenance; mitotic spindle elongation; response to DNA damage stimulus; mitosis; mitotic spindle organization; dorsal/ventral axis specification; oogenesis; female germ-line stem cell division; regulation of alternative nuclear mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. 67 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: multicellular structure; anatomical structure; organ system; cuticle; organ system subdivision; parasegment 9; dorsal thoracic disc; parasegment 14; parasegment 2; cephalopharyngeal skeleton; external compound sense organ; late extended germ band embryo. It has 5 annotated transcripts and 5 annotated polypeptides. Protein features are: DEAD-like helicase; DNA/RNA helicase, DEAD/DEAH box type, N-terminal; Helicase, C-terminal; RNA helicase, ATP-dependent, DEAD-box, conserved site; RNA helicase, DEAD-box type, Q motif. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of extremely high expression to a trough of very high expression. Peak expression observed within 00-18 hour embryonic stages. Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: High levels of expression observed in all larval and adult organs/tissues. Expression at high levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: adult head, adult eye, larval/adult central nervous system, adult crop, larval/adult midgut, larval/adult hindgut, larval/adult Malpighian tubules, adult heart, larval/adult fat body, larval/adult salivary gland, larval trachea, adult female reproductive system, adult male reproductive system, larval/adult carcass. Comments on Affy2 ProbeSet: ProbeSet 1638664_s_at completely aligns to an exonic region common to each of the 4 FlyBase-annotated transcript isoforms of eIF-4a. Gene sequence location is 2L:5981759..5985793.

Additional comments
hide Other Comments
RNAi screen using dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene results in aberrantly short, monopolar spindles when assayed in S2 cells. This phenotype can be observed when the screen is performed with or without Cdc27 dsRNA.
S2 cells transfected with dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene show significantly lower levels of global translation within 2 days.
RNAi generated by PCR using primers directed to this gene causes a cell growth and viability phenotype when assayed in Kc167 and S2R+ cells.
Identification: identified in a genetic screen for suppressors of the dppH46 phenotype.
Maternal and zygotic suppressor of dppH46. Homozygous embryonic lethal. Cuticle phenotypes of homozygous mutant embryos show dorsal-ventral patterning defects. eIF-4a can completely rescue the maternal-effect lethality caused by Mad, sax double mutants.
Identification: One of a collection of genes identified with defective larval growth that extend larval life.
Identification: Enhancer trap expression pattern survey for loci expressed in the ring gland.
Mutants isolated in a screen of the second chromosome identifying genes affecting disc morphology.
A single copy gene.
1.6kb non-sex-specific transcript located close to Acp26Aa in the 26A region.
