Differential Phosphorylation of Translation Initiation Regulators 4EBP1, S6k1, and Erk 1/2 Following Inhibition of Alcohol Metabolism in Mouse Heart

Abstract: Acute alcohol intoxication leads to an inhibition of protein synthesis in heart that results in part through altered phosphorylation of protein factors controlling mRNA translation initiation. The purpose of the present set of experiments was designed to examine the effects of inhibitors of ethanol metabolism on the phosphorylation of 4E-binding protein (4EBP1) and S6k1(Thr(389)), two factors regulating mRNA translation initiation. Phosphorylation of 4E-BP1, S6k1(Thr(389)), and Erk 1/2 was reduced 2 h followin… Show more

“…Hypophosphorylated EIF4EBP acts as a repressor of eIF4E whereas its phosphorylation releases eIF4E, thereby up-regulating protein translation in response to signaling by diverse cell-surface receptors, including insulin, EGF, PDGF, and other ligands (13). In heart, EIF4EBP has been implicated in ischemia-reperfusion stress, cardiomyocyte survival, cardiac hypertrophy, and oxidative and nutritional stress responses (13).…”

“…Although glycosylation of intracellular proteins is not always associated with heart failure, it has been suggested that glycogen stores are considered cardiac protective because partitioning of free glucose into glycogen reduces this posttranslational modification [28]. Phosphorylation and activation of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E-binding protein (4EBP1) are markers for translation initiation [29]. The data depicted in Fig.…”

“…Addition of 4-MP partially prevents the inhibition of protein synthesis and completely restores the polysome distribution in rat hepatocytes in culture, suggesting that ethanol inhibition of protein synthesis is partly linked to ethanol metabolism (14). In heart and skeletal muscle, the effect of pretreatment with 4-MP or cyanamide, an inhibitor of ALDH, before ethanol administration suggests that both alcohol itself and its metabolite acetaldehyde are inhibitory agents (40,55).…”
