Cloning and characterization of cDNA encoding rat hemin-sensitive initiation factor-2 alpha (eIF-2 alpha) kinase. Evidence for multitissue expression

Reticulocytes contain an eukaryotic initiation factor-2 alpha (eIF-2 alpha) kinase that is negatively regulated by hemin. This protein kinase, which has been termed heme-regulated inhibitor and heme-controlled repressor (HCR), has a strong inhibitory effect on the initiation of protein synthesis and...

description Reticulocytes contain an eukaryotic initiation factor-2 alpha (eIF-2 alpha) kinase that is negatively regulated by hemin. This protein kinase, which has been termed heme-regulated inhibitor and heme-controlled repressor (HCR), has a strong inhibitory effect on the initiation of protein synthesis and plays an important role in translational control in these cells. Previous evidence has suggested that HCR may be an erythroid-specific enzyme. As reported herein, we have cloned and characterized the cDNA encoding an eIF-2 alpha kinase from rat brain. The predicted amino acid sequence of the kinase from rat brain shows 82% homology to rabbit reticulocyte HCR with the greatest variation concentrated in a central region of approximately 135 amino acids located between protein kinase subdomains IV and VI. We have expressed the rat brain cDNA in Escherichia coli and have demonstrated that the recombinant enzyme is a hemin-sensitive eIF-2 alpha kinase. We have also shown that mRNA recognized by the rat brain cDNA is expressed in a wide range of non-erythroid rat tissues at a lower but significant level compared with reticulocytes. These findings raise the possibility of additional, uncharacterized roles for HCR in non-erythroid cells.
