Trans-splicing of trypanosomatid polycistronic transcripts produces polyadenylated monocistronic mRNAs modified to form the 5′ cap4 structure (m7Gpppm36,6,2′Apm2′Apm2′Cpm23,2′U). NMR and X-ray crystallography reveal thatLeishmaniahas a unique type of N-terminally-extended cap-binding protein (eIF4E4) that binds via a PAM2 motif to PABP1. This relies on the interactions of a combination of polar and charged amino acid side-chains together with multiple hydrophobic interactions, and underpins a novel architecture in theLeishmaniacap4-binding translation factor complex. Measurements using microscale thermophoresis, fluorescence anisotropy and surface plasmon resonance characterize the key interactions driving assembly of theLeishmaniatranslation initiation complex. We demonstrate that this complex can accommodateLeishmaniaeIF4G3 which, unlike the standard eukaryotic initiation complex paradigm, binds tightly to eIF4E4, but not to PABP1. Thus, inLeishmania, the chain of interactions 5′cap4-eIF4E4–PABP1-poly(A) bridges the mRNA 5′ and 3′ ends. Exceptionally, therefore, by binding tightly to two protein ligands and to the mRNA 5′ cap4 structure, the trypanosomatid N-terminally extended form of eIF4E acts as the core molecular scaffold for the mRNA-cap-binding complex. Finally, the eIF4E4 N-terminal extension is an intrinsically disordered region that transitions to a partly folded form upon binding to PABP1, whereby this interaction is not modulated by poly(A) binding to PABP1.
