Abstract: | Glucose 6-phosphate and fructose 1,6-diphosphate inhibit protein synthesis when added to lysed rabbit reticulocytes. Protein synthesis is inhibited 47% with 6 mM fructose 1,6-diphosphate and 86% with 6 mM glucose 6-phosphate. With 0.125 mM NAD+, the inhibitory effect of glucose 6-phosphate and fructose 1,6-diphosphate becomes stimulatory. The stimulation of protein synthesis in those assays with NAD+ and the phosphorylated sugars is 50% above those assays that contain NAD+ alone. The inhibition of protein synthesis by glucose 6-phosphate and the reversal of this inhibition by NAD+ occurs at a step before the synthesis of the initial dipeptide, methionyl-valine. These data illustrate the importance of NAD+ and the activation of glycolysis in regulating protein synthesis in lysed rabbit reticulocytes. |
