Heme-deficiency and double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) activate distinct cyclic 3':5'-AMP independent protein kinases (HRI and dsI, respectively) in rabbit reticulocyte lysates. These kinases inhibit protein synthesis by phosphorylating the 38,000 daltons (38K) subunit of the initiation factor eIF-2 (eIF-2 alpha). Using separation techniques to obtain a reticulocyte enriched fraction and reticulocyte-free erythrocytes, we have prepared lysates of these fractions from normal human whole blood. Human reticulocyte-enriched lysates contain the hemin-regulated and dsRNA-dependent protein kinases which inhibit protein synthesis and which phosphorylate rabbit eIF-2 alpha. An endogenous 38K polypeptide which co-migrates with rabbit eIF-2 alpha is also phosphorylated. In contrast, human mature erythrocytes contain little or no heme-regulated or dsRNA-dependent eIF-2 alpha kinase activities which are inhibitory of protein synthesis.
