| Abstract | The inhibition of protein synthesis in hemedeficient reticulocyte lysates is reversed by the addition of hemin (20 microM) or MgGTP (2 mM). The rate of recovery is rapid and approaches control kinetics within a few minutes after the addition of either component. The restoration of protein synthesis is dependent upon the availability of functional reversing factor (RF). The fate of RF was monitored during recovery by using a method that measures RF activity in the lysate under physiological conditions. In the fully inhibited lysate, RF is sequestered in a nondissociable 15S [RF . eIF-2(alpha P)] complex (where eIF-2 indicates eukaryotic initiation factor 2) in which RF activity is not functional and cannot be assayed. The first step in the rescue of protein synthesis in inhibited lysates by hemin or MgGTP is the inhibition of heme-regulated eIF-2 alpha kinase, which enables endogenous phosphatase to dephosphorylate eIF-2(alpha P) and [RF . eIF-2(alpha P)]. The release of approximately 50% of the sequestered RF activity is sufficient to support optimal kinetics of recovery. Hemin and MgGTP both reverse inhibition by blocking the activation and/or activity of heme-regulated eIF-2 alpha kinase in the lysate. The conclusion that MgGTP exerts its effect on eIF-2 alpha kinase is supported by several in vitro findings: (i) 2 mM MgGTP inhibits the autophosphorylation of purified heme-regulated eIF-2 alpha kinase and abolishes its ability to phosphorylate eIF-2 alpha; (ii) 2 mM MgGTP cannot displace GDP in the binary complexes [eIF-2 . GDP] or [eIF-2(alpha P) . GDP] by mass action; and (iii) RF in the [RF . eIF-2(alpha P)] complex is not dissociated by 2 mM MgGTP. |

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.
