Plant growth and productivity rely on rapid energy management strategies to adapt dynamic environments. Previous work in Arabidopsis thaliana identified a fast-regulatory switch linking cytosolic translation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling ...

Inhibition of protein synthesis in rabbit reticulocyte lysates occurs in response to a variety of conditions including heme deficiency, addition of oxidants, and heat stress. The inhibition of translation is due to the activation of a heme-regulated protein kinase (HRI) which specifically phosphorylates the alpha-subunit of the eukaryotic initiation ...

Mechanism of regulation of eIF-2 alpha-subunit phosphorylation by dsI and p67 was studied. The results are as follows: (1) At low dsI concentration, p67 protected equimolar concentration of eIF-2. (2) At high dsI concentration, dsI efficiently phosphorylated eIF-2 alpha-subunit even when equimolar concentrations of both p67 and eIF-2 were present ...

Nutrient availability is a key determinant of tumor cell behavior. While nutrient‐rich conditions favor proliferation and tumor growth, scarcity, and particularly glutamine starvation, promotes cell dedifferentiation and chemoresistance.

Disulfide bond formation in the regulation of eIF-2 alpha kinase by heme.
The inhibition of the autophosphorylation of the heme-regulated eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF)-2 alpha kinase (HRI) by hemin is very similar to that produced by thiol oxidation by diamide. The results obtained from the analysis of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of unphosphorylated and phosphorylated HRI under reducing and

Hsp90 mediates activation of the heme regulated eIF-2 alpha kinase during oxidative stress.
The heme-regulated inhibitor (HRI), a member of the eIF-2 alpha kinase family is crucial for regulating protein synthesis during stress. In addition to heme, stress proteins Hsp90 and Hsp70 are known to regulate HRI. The present study aims to determine the physical association of these Hsps in the regulation of HRI activation during oxidative stress ...

In heme-deficient reticulocyte lysates, protein synthesis initiation is inhibited due to the activation of a heme-regulated protein kinase which blocks protein synthesis by the specific phosphorylation of the alpha-sub-unit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF-2 alpha).

Reticulocytes contain an eukaryotic initiation factor-2 alpha (eIF-2 alpha) kinase that is negatively regulated by hemin. This protein kinase, which has been termed heme-regulated inhibitor and heme-controlled repressor (HCR), has a strong inhibitory effect on the initiation of protein synthesis and plays an important role in translational control in ...

Regulation of protein synthesis in rabbit reticulocyte lysates [PDF]
The heme‐regulated protein kinase, which specifically phosphorylates the 38‐kDa subunit of initiation factor eiF‐2, can utilize adenosine 5′‐O‐(3‐thiotriphosphate) (ATP[γS]) as a substrate. The rate of thiophosphorylation is 5‐6‐times slower than that observed with ATP.

The kinetics of phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF-2) by two cyclic nucleotide-independent protein kinases from rabbit reticulocytes have been studied. The hemin-controlled repressor (HCR) and casein kinase II phosphorylate the alpha and beta subunits of eIF-2, respectively.
