Structure of the heme-regulated eukaryotic initiation factor 2 alpha kinase. End group analysis and phosphoaminoacid content. 1983

R Fagard, and J P Boissel

The Mr 80,000 subunit of the inhibitor of protein synthesis that is activated in heme deficiency was purified from SDS gels. Radiolabelled reagents were used to determine the end terminal residues: the N-terminal residue was found to be only glutamine, and the C-terminal residue only valine. Phosphoaminoacids determination revealed both phosphoserine and phosphothreonine.

D019892 eIF-2 Kinase A dsRNA-activated cAMP-independent protein serine/threonine kinase that is induced by interferon. In the presence of dsRNA and ATP, the kinase autophosphorylates on several serine and threonine residues. The phosphorylated enzyme catalyzes the phosphorylation of the alpha subunit of EUKARYOTIC INITIATION FACTOR-2, leading to the inhibition of protein synthesis.
