| Abstract | Protein synthesis initiation in reticulocyte lysates is inhibited by low concentrations (1-20 ng/ml) of double-stranded RNA (ds RNA) due to the activation of a ds RNA-dependent cAMP-independent protein kinase (ds I) that phosphorylates the α subunit of the eukaryotic initiation factor eIF-2. In lysates, ds I is present in the latent inactive form and is associated with the ribosome complement. Latent ds I is solubilized by extraction with high-salt buffers and can be purified in its latent form. Activation of purified latent ds I requires ds RNA and ATP and is accompanied by the ds RNA-dependent autophosphorylation of a polypeptide doublet of 70,000 and 72,000 daltons (“70k/72k”), which represent different phosphorylated states of the same polypeptide. These are phosphorylated in the sequence 70k→72k; increased phosphorylation of 72k is associated with increased ds I activation. Lysates (or Sepharose 6B ribosomes) treated with ds RNA display a similar ds I phosphoprotein profile, and this is accompanied by the phosphorylation of endogenous eIF-2α (38,000 daltons). Delayed 32P pulses in ds RNA-inhibited lysates indicate that the phosphates on ds I and eIF-2α turn over. Under defined conditions, activated ds I in lysates is selectively dephosphorylated by endogenous protein phosphatase(s), and this is accompanied by the dephosphorylation of eIF-2α. Similarly, purified activated ds I is rapidly dephosphorylated by unfractionated lysate protein phosphatase(s) and by type 2 protein phosphatase but not by type 1 protein phosphatase. The dephosphorylation of ds I occurs in the sequence 72k→70k and is correlated with ds I inactivation. The heat-stable protein phosphatase inhibitor-2, which selectively blocks type 1 protein phosphatase, does not significantly affect the dephosphorylation of ds I by type 2 protein phosphatase or by unfractionated lysate phosphatases. The data support the conclusion that a ds I phosphatase activity with type 2 characteristics is involved in the regulation of ds I activity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
