A Conserved Interaction between a C-Terminal Motif in Norovirus VPg and the HEAT-1 Domain of eIF4G Is Essential for Translation Initiation. by Eoin N Leen, Frédéric Sorgeloos, Samantha Correia, Yasmin Chaudhry, Fabien Cannac, Chiara Pastore, Yingqi Xu, Stephen C Graham, Stephen J Matthews, Ian G Goodfellow, Stephen Curry

“…We have found that this site is non-overlapping with the binding site for eIF4A on eIF4G HEAT-1 by demonstrating that norovirus VPg can form ternary VPg-eIF4G-eIF4A complexes. The functional significance of the VPg-eIF4G interaction was shown by the ability of fusion proteins containing the C-terminal peptide of MNV VPg to inhibit in vitro translation of norovirus RNA but not cap- or IRES-dependent translation. …”
