Control of Protein Synthesis by Hemin

چکیده

We have purified a soluble rabbit reticulocyte protein, previously termed the supernatant factor, that reverses the inhibition of protein synthesis in hemin-deficient lysate by promoting the inactivation of the hemin-controlled eIF-2a kinase (HCR) mediating the effect of hemin deficiency. We have identified the supernatant factor as a member of the heat shock protein 70 family, denoted hsp 70(R), based upon its size (72 ma) , specific reaction to a monoclonal antibody against eukaryotic hsp 70, strong binding affinity for ATP, and endogenous ATPase activity. We have investigated the role of hsp 70(R) and hemin in the regulation of the activation of HCR from its latent precursor (ProHCR) and the translational control of protein synthesis in rabbit reticulocyte lysate. We find that autophosphorylation of ProHCR is reduced by about 75% by adding saturating hsp 70(R) and almost completely reduced by adding either saturating hemin or limiting hemin plus limiting hsp 70(R). In contrast, autophosphorylation of HCR, which is similar in magnitude to that of ProHCR, is unaffected by adding either saturating hsp 70(R), saturating hemin, or limiting amounts of both. The activation of HCR (measured by inhibition of protein synthesis) from isolated ProHCR is completely prevented by hsp 70(R) in the presence, but not absence, of dithiothreitol. This suppression appears to be due to the association of hsp 70(R) with ProHCR, since hsp 70(R) action is prevented by ATP/Mg2* and because activation of HCR from less purified ProHCR, that has associated hsp 70(R), is suppressed by dithiothreitol alone. This association is confirmed by sucrose gradient centrifugation, which shows co-sedimentation of some hsp 70(R) with ProHCR following preincubation together that is prevented by ATP/ Mg2' and does not occur after conversion of ProHCR to HCR. Limiting hsp 70(R) reduces the concentration of hemin required to prevent activation of HCR from isolated ProHCR from 0.75 to 0.15 and the optimal hemin concentration needed to maintain protein synthesis in reticulocyte lysate from 25 to 10 F. Limiting hsp 70(R) also allows the delayed addition of hemin to suppress activation of HCR from ProHCR and to reverse inhibition of protein synthesis in hemin deficient lysate. The association of hsp 70(R) with ProHCR also underlies the observation that much more protein is synthesized in reticulocyte lysate in the absence of hemin at 25 "C than at temperatures of 30 "C or greater. These observed effects may be specific to hsp 70(R), since they are not

Control of protein degradation in reticulocytes and reticulocyte extracts by hemin.

Previous studies have established that hemin stimulates production of globin and other proteins in reticulocytes and nonerythroid cells. Such studies generally equated increased production with more rapid synthesis and ignored the additional possibility that hemin decreases protein degradation. Addition of hemin to cell-free extracts of rabbit reticulocytes consistently inhibited the rapid ATP-...

Globin synthesis and erythroid differentiation in a Friend cell variant deficient in heme synthesis.

Friend erythroleukemia cells of line Fw are noninducible for hemoglobin synthesis by dimethyl sulfoxide, butyric acid, and other agents. However, these agents were found to induce hemoglobin synthesis if the cells were also treated with exogenous hemin. Butyric acid (or, to a lesser extent, dimethyl sulfoxide) by itself induced accumulation of the erythroid-specific membrane protein spectrin. T...

Hemin control of globin synthesis. Isolation of a hemin-reversible translational repressor from human mature erythrocytes.

Human mature erythrocyte postribosomal supernatant contains a hemin-reversible translational repressor of globin synthesis as measured in the rabbit reticulocyte cell-free system. Incubation of human supernatant minus hemin at 37” for 2 hours results in conversion of the repressor to a hemin-irreversible form. The presence of 35 pM hemin retards this conversion. Both hemin-reversible and -irrev...

The inhibitory effect of heme on heme formation in vivo: possible mechanism for the regulation of hemoglobin synthesis.

1) The effect of hemin on heme synthesis was studied in vivo. Heme synthesis was measured by determining red cell (59)Fe uptake and glycine-2-(14)C incorporation into red cell hemin in normal CF(1) female mice.2) Both bovine and human hemin significantly decreased red cell (59)Fe uptake 48, 72, and 96 hours after hemin injection.3) Glycine-2-(14)C incorporation into red cell hemin was decreased...
