The goal of this review is to summarize our current knowledge about the helicases involved in translation initiation and their roles in both general and mRNA-specific translation. The main topics covered are the mechanisms of helicase action, with emphasis on the roles of accessory domains and proteins; the functions performed by helicases in translation initiation; and the interplay between direct and indirect effects of helicases that also function in steps preceding translation initiation. Special attention is given to the dynamics of eIF4A binding and dissociation from eIF4F during mRNA unwinding. It is proposed that DHX29, as well as other helicases and translation initiation factors could also cycle on and off the translation initiation complexes, similar to eIF4A. The evidence in favor of this hypothesis and its possible implications for the mechanisms of translation initiation is discussed.
