Abstract
High altitude (HA) is associated with number of stresses. Response of these stresses may vary in different populations depending upon altitude, duration of residency, ancestry, geographical variation, lifestyle, and ethnicities. For understanding population variability in transcriptome, array-based global gene expression profiling was performed on extracted RNA of male volunteers of two different lowland population groups, i.e., Indians and Kyrgyz, at baseline and day 7 of HA exposure (3200 m). A total of 97 genes were differentially expressed at basal in Kyrgyz as compared to Indians (82 downregulated and 15 upregulated), and 196 were differentially expressed on day 7 of HA (118 downregulated and 78 upregulated). Ingenuity Pathway Analysis and gene ontology highlighted eIF2 signaling with most significant negative activation z score at basal in Kyrgyz compared to Indians with downregulation of various L- and S-ribosomal proteins indicating marked translational repression. On day 7, cAMP-mediated signaling is most enriched with positive activation z score in Kyrgyz compared to Indians. Plasma cAMP levels were higher in Kyrgyz on day 7 compared to Indians. Extracellular adenosine levels were elevated in both the groups upon HA, but higher in Kyrgyz compared to Indians. Valedictory qRT-PCR showed upregulation of ADORA2B and CD73 along with downregulation of ENTs in Kyrgyz compared to Indians indicating elevated levels of extracellular nucleotides mainly adenosine and activation of extracellular cAMP-adenosine pathway which as per literature triggers endogenous protective mechanisms under stress conditions like hypoxia. Thus, transcriptome changes at HA are population-specific, and it may be necessary to take care while interposing similar results in different populations.

Abstract
Treatment of eIF-2B and eIF-2 with NEM abolishes nucleotide exchange and GTP-binding activities of the proteins. Incubation of eIF-2B with [14C]NEM results in strong labeling of the 82- and 55-kDa subunits and with less labeling of the other subunits. Preincubation of eIF-2B with eIF-2 interferes with [14C]NEM labeling of the 82- and 55-kDa subunits. All three (alpha, beta, and gamma) subunits of eIF-2 are labeled strongly by [14C]NEM. Limited digestion of eIF-2B with trypsin inhibits nucleotide exchange activity but does not interfere with GTP binding. Under these conditions, the 65-kDa subunit is degraded completely while the other subunits remain intact. Treatment of eIF-2 with trypsin results in the generation of eIF-2 lacking the beta-subunit (eIF-2 alpha gamma). eIF-2(alpha gamma) binds [3H]GDP equally well as intact elf-2. In the presence of elf-2B, the exchange of [3H]GDP for GTP from elf-2. [3H]GDP prepared with eIF-2(alpha gamma) is diminished considerably. [3H]GTP binding to eIF-2(alpha gamma) is also four- to five-fold less than to intact eIF-2. In addition, the association of eIF-2B with intact eIF-2, but not with eIF-2(alpha gamma), reduces by two-fold the rate and extent of removal of 32P by alkaline phosphatase from CK-2-phosphorylated 82-kDa subunit.

Abstract
We have purified a soluble rabbit reticulocyte protein, previously termed the supernatant factor, that reverses the inhibition of protein synthesis in hemin-deficient lysate by promoting the inactivation of the hemin-controlled eIF-2 alpha kinase (HCR) mediating the effect of hemin deficiency. We have identified the supernatant factor as a member of the heat shock protein 70 family, denoted hsp 70(R), based upon its size (72 kDa), specific reaction to a monoclonal antibody against eukaryotic hsp 70, strong binding affinity for ATP, and endogenous ATPase activity. We have investigated the role of hsp 70(R) and hemin in the regulation of the activation of HCR from its latent precursor (ProHCR) and the translational control of protein synthesis in rabbit reticulocyte lysate. We find that autophosphorylation of Pro-HCR is reduced by about 75% by adding saturating hsp 70(R) and almost completely reduced by adding either saturating hemin or limiting hemin plus limiting hsp 70(R). In contrast, autophosphorylation of HCR, which is similar in magnitude to that of ProHCR, is unaffected by adding either saturating hsp 70(R), saturating hemin, or limiting amounts of both. The activation of HCR (measured by inhibition of protein synthesis) from isolated ProHCR is completely prevented by hsp 70(R) in the presence, but not absence, of dithiothreitol. This suppression appears to be due to the association of hsp 70(R) with ProHCR, since hsp 70(R) action is prevented by ATP/Mg2+ and because activation of HCR from less purified ProHCR, that has associated hsp 70(R), is suppressed by dithiothreitol alone. This association is confirmed by sucrose gradient centrifugation, which shows co-sedimentation of some hsp 70(R) with ProHCR following preincubation together that is prevented by ATP/Mg2+ and does not occur after conversion of ProHCR to HCR. Limiting hsp 70(R) reduces the concentration of hemin required to prevent activation of HCR from isolated ProHCR from 0.75 to 0.15 microM and the optimal hemin concentration needed to maintain protein synthesis in reticulocyte lysate from 25 to 10 microM. Limiting hsp 70(R) also allows the delayed addition of hemin to suppress activation of HCR from ProHCR and to reverse inhibition of protein synthesis in hemin deficient lysate. The association of hsp 70(R) with ProHCR also underlies the observation that much more protein is synthesized in reticulocyte lysate in the absence of hemin at 25 degrees C than at temperatures of 30 degrees C or greater. These observed effects may be specific to hsp 70(R), since they are not observed with rabbit reticulocyte eIF-2 or eIF-2B, and since the comparable hsp 70 from bovine brain is incapable of maintaining or restoring protein synthesis in hemin-deficient lysate.

Abstract
Besides heme deficiency, protein synthesis in rabbit reticulocyte lysates becomes inhibited upon exposure to a variety of agents that mimic conditions which induce the heat shock response in cells. This inhibition has been demonstrated to be due primarily to the activation of the heme-regulated eIF-2 alpha kinase (HRI) which causes an arrest in the initiation of translation. In this report, the sensitivity of protein synthesis in hemin-supplemented lysates to inhibition by Hg2+, GSSG, methylene blue, and heat shock was examined in six different reticulocyte lysate preparations. The extent to which translation was inhibited in response to Hg2+, GSSG, methylene blue, and heat shock correlated inversely with the relative levels of the 70-kDa heat shock proteins (hsp 70) and a 56-kDa protein (p56) present in the lysates determined by Western blotting. The ability of hemin to restore protein synthesis upon addition to heme-deficient lysates was also examined. While the restoration of protein synthesis correlated roughly with the levels of hsp 90 present, the results also suggest that the heme regulation of HRI probably involves the interaction of HRI with several factors present in the lysate besides hsp 90. A comparison of two lysate preparations, which had a 2-fold difference in their protein synthesis rates, indicated that the slower translational rate of the one lysate could be accounted for by its low level of constitutive eIF-2 alpha phosphorylation, with its accompanying decrease in the eIF-2B activity and lower level of polyribosome loading. The present study supports the notion that the previously demonstrated interaction of HRI with hsp 90, hsp 70, and p56 in reticulocyte lysates may play a direct role in regulating HRI activation or activity. We hypothesize that the competition of denatured protein and HRI for the binding of hsp 70 may be a molecular signal that triggers the activation of HRI in reticulocyte lysates in response to stress. Possible functions for p56 in the regulation of HRI activity are also discussed.

Abstract
A simple, improved procedure for the isolation of guanine-nucleotide-exchange factor (GEF) and for eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF-2) from rabbit reticulocyte lysates has been developed using ion-exchange chromatography on S-Sepharose, Q-Sepharose, Mono Q and Mono S. The majority of the eIF-2 is separated from GEF at an early stage in the procedure and the remaining small amount of eIF-2.GEF complex is separated from the bulk of the GEF by FPLC on Mono S. The procedure yields approximately 2 mg each of eIF-2 and GEF, of 90% and greater than 80% purity, respectively, from the blood of ten rabbits. All fractions of purified GEF contain four subunits of molecular masses 84, 66, 54 and 39 kDa, with various amounts of a fifth, 30-kDa subunit. The modulation of GEF activity was investigated using the highly purified factor in a guanine-nucleotide-exchange assay. The activity of GEF was stimulated by physiological concentrations of the polyamines, spermine and spermidine, but was unaffected by another polycationic compound, polylysine. Activity was also found to be inhibited by 1 mM NADP+ or NAD+, and this inhibition was overcome by the presence of 1 mM NADPH. Stoichiometric amounts of GEF were unable to release GDP from eIF-2.GDP complexes in the absence of free guanine nucleotides, suggesting that GEF operates by a ternary-complex mechanism. Casein kinase 1 or casein kinase 2 can each phosphorylate the largest subunit (84 kDa) of GEF. These enzymes both phosphorylate serine residues in GEF but they phosphorylate distinct sites, as demonstrated by phosphopeptide mapping following proteolytic or cyanogen bromide digestion. Neither of these kinases phosphorylated any of the other subunits of GEF to any significant extent and several other kinases were inactive against GEF. No effect of phosphorylation on activity could be demonstrated.

Abstract
We have covalently modified rabbit reticulocyte polypeptide chain initiation factor 2 (eIF-2) and the guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) with the 8-azido analogs of GTP (8-N3GTP) and ATP (8-N3ATP). Of the five subunits of GEF, the Mr 40,000 polypeptide binds 8-[gamma-32P]N3GTP, and the Mr 55,000 and 65,000 polypeptides bind 8-[gamma-32P]N3ATP. Both 8-N3GTP and 8-N3ATP specifically label the beta-subunit of eIF-2. Covalent binding of 8-azidopurine analogs to the eukaryotic initiation factors is dependent on UV irradiation. Binding of 8-N3GTP and 8-N3ATP is specific for the guanine- and adenine-binding sites on the protein, respectively. GDP and GTP, but not ATP, inhibit the photoinsertion of 8-N3GTP to the protein. Similarly, ATP, but not GTP, inhibits the photoinsertion of 8-N3ATP. The inclusion of NADP+ in the reaction mixtures also interferes with the binding of 8-N3ATP to GEF. Mg2+ inhibits the binding of the 8-azido analogs of GTP and ATP to both eIF-2 and GEF, whereas EDTA stimulates the photoinsertion of these nucleotides. Identical results are obtained when the binding of GTP and ATP to these proteins, in the presence of Mg2+ or EDTA, is estimated by nitrocellulose membranes. In enzymatic assays, 8-N3GTP supports the activity of eIF-2 and GEF, indicating that the interaction of 8-N3GTP is catalytically relevant.
