The phosphorylation of phosvitin in vitro by a cyclic nucleotide-independent protein kinase (phosvitin kinase) derived from rooster liver is markedly stimulated by the divalent cation, Mg2+. In addition, the activity is further stimulated by low concentrations of the polyamines putrescine, spermidine and spermine leading to higher rates of phosphate incorporation than could be obtained at any concentration of Mg2+. Spermine is inhibitory at higher concentrations. The polyamines shift the Mg2+ requirement for maximal activity to lower concentrations. The activity of a cyclic AMP-dependent histone kinase from beef heart is not altered by the presence of polyamines. Heparin is a potent inhibitor of phosvitin kinase but has no effect on histone kinase. Polyribonucleotides (polyadenylic acid and transfer RNA) inhibit both types of kinases, but the degree of inhibition of phosvitin kinase is variable and depends upon the type of the polyanion present. Sermidine and spermine, but not Mg2+, efficiently counteract the inhibitory action of heparin and tRNA. The results suggest that, also in vivo, naturally occurring polyamines and polyanions such as tRNA may have a regulatory function on protein kinases.

Protein synthesis in rabbit reticulocytes and their lysates is regulated by heme. In heme-deficient reticulocyte lysates, protein synthesis proceeds at the initial rate for several minutes and then declines abruptly. Inhibition of protein synthesis is due to the activation of a heme-regulated translational inhibitor (HRI) which blocks the initiation of protein synthesis. Addition of the isolated HRI to hemin-supplemented lysates causes inhibition of initiation similar to that observed in heme-deficiency. HRI has been shown to be a protein kinase that specifically phosphorylates the Met-tRNA(f) binding factor (eIF-2). We have isolated an inhibitor (LI) of protein chain initiation from rat liver which displays properties similar to those of HRI: (i) the chromatographic behavior of LI on DEAE-Sephadex, DEAE-cellulose, and phosphocellulose is similar to that of HRI; (ii) both LI and HRI inhibit protein chain initiation in rabbit reticulocyte lysates with the same kinetics of inhibition-i.e., an initial period of synthesis for several minutes at the control rate followed by an abrupt decline in the rate of initiation; (iii) both inhibitions are prevented or reversed by eIF-2; (iv) GTP (2 mM) prevents, and ATP (2 mM) potentiates, the inhibition of protein synthesis induced by either inhibitor; (v) LI is associated with a protein kinase that also phosphorylates the 38,000-dalton subunit of elF-2. These findings indicate that a mechanism for the regulation of protein synthesis similar to that found in rabbit reticulocytes may be present in rat liver.

The changes in the activities of 17 aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases induced by phosphorylation [1] were reversed by the action of cyclic AMP in preparations from both uterus and liver. Cyclic AMP also inhibited the phosphorylation of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase protein by endogenous non-cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and [gamma-32P]ATP. The effect was not due to a stimulation of phosphoaminoacyl-tRNA synthetase phosphatase or to an influence of cyclic AMP on aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. The activity of phosphoaminoacyl-tRNA synthetase phosphatase was increased by treatment with endogenous cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, ATP and cyclic AMP. Affinity chromatography of the 32P-labeled phosphorylated phosphosynthetase phosphatase protein followed by gel electrophoresis showed that the activated phosphatase was phosphorylated. In the uterus, the changes in 17 aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase activities observed 5 min after dibutyryl cyclic AMP administration to ovariectomized mice were similar to those observed after 17beta-oestradiol treatment, whereas in the liver the changes in these activities were the opposite to those found after treatment with 17beta-oestradiol. A mechanism for the regulation of the 17 aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase activities is proposed, which suggests that the synthetase activities inhibited (group I) or stimulated (group II) by phosphorylation with a non-cyclic AMP-dependent aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase kinase are reactivated (group I) or inhibited (group II), respectively, by the action of a cyclic AMP-dependent phosphatase kinase through the increased activity of phosphorylated phosphoaminoacyl-tRNA synthetase phosphatase.

Despite the finding that the hemin-controlled translational inhibitor in reticulocyte lysates is a cyclic AMP-independent protein kinase that phosphorylates the small subunit of the initiation factor eIF-2, the mechanism of inhibition of translation remained unexplained. Whereas treatment of hemin-containing lysates with inhibitor in the presence of ATP inhibited translation, the same treatment of highly purified eIF-2 did not affect its ability to form a ternary complex with initiator Met-tRNA and GTP or a 40S initiation complex. We have isolated from ribosomal salt washes a protein (eIF-2 stimulating protein) that enhances the capacity of unphosphorylated eIF-2 to form ternary or 40S initiation complexes but has no effect on the phosphorylated factor. At low concentrations, eIF-2 is virtually inactive without this stimulating protein. Therefore, the translational inhibitor acts by converting eIF-2 to a form that is not stimulated by the stimulating protein.

Protein synthesis in reticulocytes and their lysates is regulated by heme. In heme deficiency a heme-regulated translational inhibitor (HRI) that blocks initiation of polypeptide chains is activated. HRI is a protein kinase (ATP: protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) that specifically phosphorylates the 38,000-dalton subunit of the Met-tRNA(f) (Met) binding factor (IF), which forms a ternary complex with Met-tRNA(f) (Met) and GTP, a finding that suggests that the inhibition by HRI involves the phosphorylation of IF. We have investigated the effect of HRI in the partial reactions of protein chain initiation in which the IF-promoted binding of Met-tRNA(f) (Met) to 40S ribosomal subunits is enhanced by another initiation factor [ternary complex dissociation factor (TDF)] and AUG. The results show that HRI at very low concentrations markedly inhibits the binding of Met-tRNA(f) (Met) to 40S subunits. The inhibitory effect of HRI requires ATP. Under these conditions HRI phosphorylates only the 38,000-dalton subunit of IF. The TDF preparations not only promote the binding of the ternary complex to 40S subunits but also promote the dissociation of the ternary complex in the presence of 5 mM Mg(2+) at 0 degrees . The preincubation of purified IF alone with low concentrations of HRI and ATP does not significantly affect its capacity to form the ternary complex; however, the TDF-promoted dissociation of the ternary complex is inhibited. The nonhydrolyzable analog adenosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imido]triphosphate does not substitute for ATP. These findings suggest that phosphorylation causes a conformational modification in IF, which results in inhibition of the interaction between the ternary complex and TDF that is required for the binding of the ternary complex to 40S subunits.

Heme deficiency in rabbit reticulocytes and their lysates leads to the activation of a heme-regulated translational inhibitor (HRI) which causes the cessation of polypeptide initiation. HRI is a protein kinase that specifically phosphorylates the 38,000-dalton subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF-2). eIF-2 binds Met-tRNA(f) and GTP in ternary complex. As a continuation of the studies on the molecular basis of the inhibition of the formation of 40S ribosomal subunit-Met-tRNA(f) complexes by HRI [Ranu, R. S., London, I. M., Das, A., Dasgupta, A., Majumdar, A., Ralston, R., Roy, R. & Gupta, N. K. (1978) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 75, 745-749], we describe here the isolation and some characteristics of a factor that is required for the HRI-catalyzed inhibition of eIF-2-promoted ternary complex formation. In the presence of 1 mM Mg(2+), ternary complex formation by eIF-2 is dependent on the presence of this stabilization factor (SF). Under these conditions, SF increases the rate and the extent of ternary complex formation. This finding suggests that the interaction of SF with eIF-2 causes a conformational change that stabilizes eIF-2 and promotes efficient ternary complex formation by increasing the affinity of eIF-2 for GTP and Met-tRNA(f). In the absence of Mg(2+), however, eIF-2 efficiently forms the ternary complex and SF has little effect on its ternary complex formation capacity-hence, the name eIF-2 stabilization factor (SF). In the presence of SF, HRI markedly inhibits (70-80%) the ternary complex formation capacity of eIF-2. The inhibitory effect requires both HRI and ATP. Under these conditions, HRI phosphorylates only the 38,000-dalton subunit of eIF-2. Both the rate and the extent of the SF-dependent ternary complex formation are inhibited. These findings are consistent with the idea that phosphorylation causes a conformational change in eIF-2 such that its interactions with other initiation factors in the formation and the binding of ternary complex to 40S ribosomal subunits are inhibited.

Extracts from interferon-treated, not virus infected EAT cells differ in several biochemical characteristics from extracts of untreated cells. Some of these differences are manifested only if the extracts are supplemented with ds RNA and ATP. Thus, in the extracts from interferon-treated cells these supplements activate a protein kinase and an endonuclease activity as well as an inhibitor of the translation of messenger RNA. The effect of the same supplements in extracts of untreated cells is much less pronounced. Other differences between the two types of extracts do not seem to depend on the addition of ds RNA and ATP. These include an impairment of mRNA cap methylation and an inhibition of peptide chain elongation that can be overcome by the addition of tRNA. The treatment of human (HeLa S3) cells with human interferon is manifested in the cell extract similarly to the treatment of EAT cells with mouse interferon. Studies are underway to isolate and characterize the ds RNA activated enzymes and the inhibitors and to establish how the presence of these in extracts from interferon-treated cells can account for the impairment of virus replication by interferon.

At least two different mechanisms for the inhibition of mRNA translation operate in extracts of interferon-treated L cells. One is mediated by an interferon-induced protein kinase which, when activated by double-stranded RNA and ATP, phosphorylates the small subunit of initiation factor eIF-2. Addition of the purified interferon-induced protein kinase to L cell extracts, strongly reduces the amount of methionyl-tRNA bound to 40-S ribosomal subunits. The second translational inhibition is due to the synthesis of (2'-5')oligo(adenylate) by interferon-induced enzyme E. The oligonucleotide in turn activates a ribonuclease F constitutively present in L cells. Addition of the purified nuclease with its oligonucleotide activator to L cell extracts produces a strong decrease in polyribosome formation and an accumulation of initiation complex. These experiments differentiate the effects of the two interferon-induced inhibitors on mRNA translation.

The cell-free extract from wheat germ contains an inhibitor interfering with translation of a natural template (BMV RNA). The inhibitor affects neither the translation of poly(U) nor the aminoacylation of tRNA. It exhibits the activity of protein kinase (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37). The inhibitor is found in lipoprotein aggregates which can be separated from ribosomes on Sepharose 2B column. Ribosomes purified on the Sepharose are several times more active in translation of BMV RNA than those isolated by conventional methods.

Initiation factor IF-E2 was isolated from rabbit reticulocytes and purified 120-fold to near homogeneity by ammonium sulfate fractionation, column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and phosphocellulose, and, when suitable, by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The factor is a complex protein containing three nonidentical polypeptides of molecular weight 57,000, 52,000, and 36,000. It behaves as a complex throughout its purification and during polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in nondenaturing buffer but its thress components are readily separated by electrophoresis in denaturing buffers. None of its components corresponds to any of the polypeptides of the other initiation factors or to any proteins of ribosomes washed in buffers containing a high salf concentration. A stoichiometric ratio of 1:1:1 was determined for the three polypeptides; based on the assumption of one copy each per complex, the calculated factor molecular weight is 145,000, a value in agreement with the measured value of 160,000. Initiation factor IF-E2 was radioactively labeled in vitro by reductive alkylation or by phosphorylation with a protein kinase also isolated from rabbit reticulocytes. Neither procedure causes a measurable change in the ability of the factor to form a ternary complex with GTP and the initiator methionyl-tRNA. 5'-Guanylyl-methylenediphosphonate may substitute for GTP, but only at relatively high concentrations. The binding of labeled initiation factor IF-E2 and methionyl-tRNA to the 40 S ribosomal subunit was studied by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Appreciable binding of the factor is seen only when all three components of the ternary complex are included in the reaction mixture. The binding of either the factor or methionyl-tRNA was not stimulated by the addition of globin messenger RNA and initiation factor IF-E3. It was shown that all three polypeptide components of initiation factor IF-E2 are bound to these nascent initiation complexes.
