An inhibitor of polypeptide-chain initiation was isolated from E. coli cells. This protein inhibits formation of the 30S or 70S initiation complex with either fMet-tRNA(f) as initiator and AUG, MS2 RNA, or late T4 RNA as messenger, or acPhe-tRNA as initiator and poly(U) as messenger. Chain elongation, e.g., poly(U) translation at high Mg(2+) concentration, is not inhibited. The inhibitor is rendered ineffective when active aminoacylation of tRNA is taking place, e.g., during natural mRNA translation. This inhibitor is distinct from the so-called interference (i) factors, which interfere exclusively with the action of initiation factor 3. Since the new inhibitor can apparently be turned on and off, it may have a regulatory function in translation.
从大肠杆菌细胞中分离出一种多肽链起始抑制剂。这种蛋白质抑制30S或70S起始复合物的形成,该复合物以fMet-tRNA(f)作为起始物且以AUG、MS2 RNA或晚期T4 RNA作为信使,或者以acPhe-tRNA作为起始物且以聚尿苷酸(poly(U))作为信使。链延伸,例如在高镁离子(Mg(2+))浓度下的聚尿苷酸(poly(U))翻译,不受抑制。当tRNA进行活性氨酰化时,例如在天然mRNA翻译过程中,该抑制剂变得无效。这种抑制剂不同于所谓的干扰(i)因子,干扰(i)因子仅干扰起始因子3的作用。由于这种新抑制剂显然可以开启和关闭,它可能在翻译中具有调节功能。
