Initiation of protein synthesis in eukaryotes. Binding to Sepharose-heparin and partial purification of initiation factors from Krebs II ascites cells. 1977

C Van der Mast, and A Thomas, and H Goumans, and H Amesz, and H O Voorma

By means of affinity chromatography of lysates from Krebs II ascites cells and rabbit reticulocytes on Sepharose-heparin an active fraction of initiation factors has been obtained. The fraction is eluted from the column at 350 mM KCl using a linear gradient and displays a number of activities, i.e. binding of Met-tRNAfMet to form a ternary complex with GTP; transferring this complex to 40-S subunits in an A-U-G-independent step and finally coupling of the 40-S initiation complex to the 60-S subunit, a reaction which is completely A-U-G-dependent. Moreover, MettRNA is bound into the P-site as is indicated by its puromycin sensitivity. The method is very suitable for large-scale preparation. Further purification and characterization of the factors have been carried out on DEAE-cellulose and phosphocellulose columns. Evidence is presented that the polysomes present in a lysate that has been passed through the Sepharose-heparin column can only complete their nascent chains, initiation of new polypeptides is completely dependent on addition of initiation factors.

D010442 Peptide Chain Initiation, Translational A process of GENETIC TRANSLATION whereby the formation of a peptide chain is started. It includes assembly of the RIBOSOME components, the MESSENGER RNA coding for the polypeptide to be made, INITIATOR TRNA, and PEPTIDE INITIATION FACTORS; and placement of the first amino acid in the peptide chain. The details and components of this process are unique for prokaryotic protein biosynthesis and eukaryotic protein biosynthesis.

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

It is used in protein biochemistry.
