We have purified and partially characterized a supernatant factor which reverses the effect of the heme-regulated translational inhibitor on protein synthesis in rabbit reticulocyte lysates. The anti-inhibitor restores protein synthesis activity in heme deficient lysates (and in lysates to which the inhibitor has been added) to the level observed in the presence of heme. The factor has no effect on the phosphorylation of eIF-2 by the inhibitor nor on any reaction carried out with purified initiation factors. The anti-inhibitor probably consists of three subunits with molecular weights of 81000, 60000 and 41000. The factor is isolated from the postribosomal supernatant of rabbit reticulocytes both free and complexed to eIF-2. A possible mechanism of action is discussed.

D012156 Reticulocytes Immature ERYTHROCYTES. In humans, these are ERYTHROID CELLS that have just undergone extrusion of their CELL NUCLEUS. They still contain some organelles that gradually decrease in number as the cells mature. RIBOSOMES are last to disappear. Certain staining techniques cause components of the ribosomes to precipitate into characteristic "reticulum" (not the same as the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM), hence the name reticulocytes. Reticulocyte
