Abstract:Phosphorylation of proteins in the protein-synthesizing complex from rabbit reticulocyte lysates was examined under conditions of optimal protein synthesis and during inhibition of protein synthesis by hemin deprivation. A creatine phosphate -ATP -GTP -P, exchange system was used to maintain [ Y -~~P I A T P and [Y-~'P]GTP at high, constant specific activity. Phosphate incorporation into proteins in the 0.5 M KCl wash fraction and in salt-washed ribosomes was examined before and after inhibition of protein syn… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
