RESUMO
Inhibition of translation in hemin-containing reticulocyte lysates by catalytic subunit (cS) preparations of cAMP-dependent protein kinase from bovine heart, reported earlier by our group, is due to a highly active heat-stable protein contaminant (HS). The specific activity for translational inhibition goes up by a factor of 10 when cS is heated for 10 min at 80 degrees C, which completely destroys histone phosphorylation activity. HS has been purified to homogeneity from bovine heart. It consists of a single polypeptide chain (Mr approximately 68,000). HS inhibits translation with biphasic kinetics similar to those of hemin deficiency and induces pronounced phosphorylation of the alpha subunit of the eukaryotic initiation factor eIF-2. The inhibition is relieved by eIF-2 or GTP but not by high concentrations of double-stranded RNA, thus ruling out involvement of the double-stranded RNA-activated inhibitor. Judged by poly(U) translation, HS has no effect on chain elongation. When added to crude preparations of the proinhibitor form (proHCI) of the heme-controlled translational inhibitor (HCI), HS appears to produce an increase of the HCI-to proHCI ratio. The mode of action of HS is as yet unknown.
