Ethionine and the phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6

M. A. Treloar, M. E. Treloar and R. Kisilevsky

Ribosome phosphorylation was studied by monitoring the phosphorylation state of small subunit protein S6 as visualized on two-dimensional electrophoretograms of ribosomal proteins isolated from rat liver. No phosphorylation of S6 was observed under conditions of ethionine-induced inhibition of protein synthesis. Moderate phosphorylation, detected as the appearance of S6 and four or five phosphorylated derivatives, was observed in saline-treated animals. Reversal of ethionine-induced inhibition of protein synthesis by treatment with adenine led to extensive phosphorylation of S6. A model for protein synthesis which includes requisite phosphorylation of ribosomes during initiation is proposed. Cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate concentration was significantly elevated in liver of both ethionine- and ethionine plus adenine-treated rats, relative to that of saline-treated animals.
