In the News & Views article “Cell biology: Lost in mitotic translation” by Anthony Wynshaw-Boris (Nature 446, 274–275; 2007), statements in the text and the caption to Figure 1, and part b of Figure 1, imply that eIF4B binds directly to the 5′ cap of mRNA. Rather, eIF4B facilitates the ATP-dependent helicase activity of eIF4A to promote the ribosome recruitment necessary for cap-dependent translation.
