Previously [de Haro, C., Datta, A & Ochoa, S. (1978) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 75, 243--247] it was shown with initiation factors from Artemia salina embryos that the activity of the initiator methionyl-tRNA binding factor eIF-2 is stimulated by another factor (ESP, for eIF-2 stimulating protein) present, like eIF-2, in ribosomal salt washes. Incubation of eIF-2 with translational inhibitor from rabit reticulocytes, in the presence of ATP, abolished the ESP effect. At physiological concentrations eIF-2 was virtually inactive without ESP. These observations indicated that the translational inhibitor acts by converting eIF-2 to a form that is not stimulated by ESP. The same observations have now been made with eIF-2 and ESP from rabbit reticulocytes but, in this case, the dependence of eIF-2 activity on ESP is much more pronounced than with the A. salina factors. eIF-2 from reticulocytes interacts with ESP from A. salina and conversely.
先前[德·哈罗,C.,达塔,A和奥乔亚,S.(1978年)《美国国家科学院院刊》75,243 - 247]用卤虫胚胎中的起始因子表明,起始甲硫氨酰 - tRNA结合因子eIF - 2的活性受到另一种因子(ESP,即eIF - 2刺激蛋白)的刺激,该因子与eIF - 2一样存在于核糖体盐洗物中。在ATP存在的情况下,将eIF - 2与兔网织红细胞的翻译抑制剂一起孵育,消除了ESP的作用。在生理浓度下,没有ESP时eIF - 2实际上是无活性的。这些观察结果表明,翻译抑制剂通过将eIF - 2转化为不受ESP刺激的形式起作用。现在用兔网织红细胞的eIF - 2和ESP也得到了相同的观察结果,但在这种情况下,eIF - 2活性对ESP的依赖性比卤虫因子更为明显。网织红细胞的eIF - 2与卤虫的ESP相互作用,反之亦然。
