Abstract
Protein chain initiation in reticulocyte lysates is inhibited by (a) heme-deficiency, (b) low levels of double-stranded RNA, and (c) a purified translational inhibitor isolated from heme-deficient lysates. Previous studies have shown that the inhibitions produced by heme-deficiency and double-stranded RNA are prevented by 3': 5'-cyclic AMP, and that GTP, but not ATP, prevents the inhibition of heme-deficiency. In view of the recent finding that the inhibitor purified from heme-deficient lysates is associated with a protein kinase which appears to be involved in the mechanism of inhibition, the effects of cyclic AMP, GTP, and ATP on the three modes of inhibition were examines. In all three types of inhibition, cyclic AMP or GTP (a) prevents the onset of inhibition when added at zero time, and (b) restores protein synthesis in inhibited lysates. In contrast to these effects, ATP potentiates each inhibition, and blocks reversal of inhibition by cyclic AMP or GTP. On the basis of these and earlier findings, we propose that (a) these inhibitions involve the phosphorylation by protein kinases of the Met-tRNAf binding factor and/or a related site(s) on the 40S ribosomal subunit; and (b) cyclic AMP, GTP, and ATP exert their effects by their actions on this phosphorylation mechanism.Keywords
