| Abstract | 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. |

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.
