Abstract
The mechanisms underlying life span extension by sulfur amino acid restriction (SAAR) are unclear. Cysteine and methionine are essential for the biosynthesis of proteins and glutathione (GSH), a major redox buffer in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We hypothesized that SAAR alters protein synthesis by modulating the redox milieu. Male F344-rats were fed control (CD: 0.86% methionine without cysteine) and SAAR diets (0.17% methionine without cysteine) for 12 weeks. Growth rates, food intake, cysteine and GSH levels, proteins associated with redox status and translation, and fractional protein synthesis rates (FSRs) were determined in liver. Despite a 40% higher food intake, growth rates for SAAR rats were 27% of those fed CD. Hepatic free cysteine in SAAR rats was 55% compared with CD rats. SAAR altered tissue distribution of GSH, as hepatic and erythrocytic levels were 56% and 196% of those in CD rats. Lower GSH levels did not induce ER stress (i.e., unchanged expression of Xbp1s , Chop, and Grp78), but activated PERK and its substrates eIF2-α and NRF2. SAAR-induced changes in translation-initiation machinery (higher p-eIF2-α and 4E-BP1, and lower eIF4G-1) resulted in slower protein synthesis rates (53% of CD). Proteins involved in the antioxidant response (NRF2, KEAP1, GCLM, and NQO1) and protein folding (PDI and ERO1-α) were increased in SAAR. Lower FSR and efficient protein folding might be improving proteostasis in SAAR.

Abstract
The Nrf2-Keap1 pathway is believed to be a critical regulator of the phase II defense system against oxidative stress. By activation of Nrf2, cytoprotective genes such as heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO-1) and γ-glutamyl-cysteine ligase (GCL) are induced. GCL-induced glutathione (GSH) production is believed to affect redox signaling, cell proliferation and death. We here report that tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP)-induced GSH reduction led to mitochondrial membrane potential loss and apoptosis in cultured human retinal pigment epithelial cells from the ARPE-19 cell line. Hydroxytyrosol (HT), a natural phytochemical from olive leaves and oil, was found to induce phase II enzymes and GSH, thus protect t-BHP-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis. Depletion of GSH by buthionine-[S,R]-sulfoximine enhanced t-BHP toxicity and abolished HT protection. Overexpression of Nrf2 increased GSH content and efficiently protected t-BHP-induced mitochondrial membrane potential loss. Meanwhile, HT-induced GSH enhancement and induction of Nrf2 target gene (GCLc, GCLm, HO-1, NQO-1) messenger RNA (mRNA) were inhibited by Nrf2 knockdown, suggesting that HT increases GSH through Nrf2 activation. In addition, we found that HT was able to activate the PI3/Akt and mTOR/p70S6-kinase pathways, both of which contribute to survival signaling in stressed cells. However, the effect of HT was not inhibited by the PI3K inhibitor LY294002. Rather, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation was found to induce p62/SQSTM1 expression, which is involved in Nrf2 activation. Our study demonstrates that Nrf2 activation induced by the JNK pathway plays an essential role in the mechanism behind HT's strengthening of the antiapoptotic actions of the endogenous antioxidant system.

Abstract
A family of small molecular weight proteins with thiol-disulfide exchange activity have been discovered, widely distributed from E. coli to mammalian systems, called thioltransferases or glutaredoxins. There are no substantiated reports of thioltransferases-glutaredoxins in plants; however, partially purified dehydroascorbate reductase from peas had thiol-disulfide exchange catalytic activity using glutathione as reductant and S-sulfocysteine as thiosulfate cosubstrate (unpublished data). Thus, this class of proteins is universally distributed. Based on mutagenesis studies, a sequence of Cys-Pro-Tyr(Phe)-Cys- followed by Arg-Lys- or Lys alone is critical for both the thiol-disulfide exchange reaction and the dehydroascorbate reductase activity. The dithiol-disulfide loop represented by this structure is unique since the cystine closer to the N-terminus has a highly acidic thiol pKa (3.8 as determined for the pig liver enzyme) that contributes to the protein's high S- nucleophilicity. Compared with the microbial enzyme, the mammalian thioltransferases (glutaredoxins) are extended at both N and C termini by 10-12 amino acid residues, including a second pair of cysteines toward the C-terminus with no known special function. Yeast thioltransferase is more like mammalian enzymes in length (106 amino acids) but more like E. coli glutaredoxin in being unblocked at the N-terminus and having only one set of cysteines; that is, at the active center. The three mammalian enzymes, for which sequences are available, are blocked at the N-terminus by an acetyl group linked to alanine with no known special function other than possibly to impart greater cellular turnover stability. A report of carbohydrate (8.6%) content in rat liver thioltransferase has not been verified by more sensitive methods of carbohydrate analysis, nor has carbohydrate been identified in samples of purified glutaredoxin from any source. Thiol transferase and glutaredoxin are two names for the same protein based on similarity of amino acid sequence, immunochemical cross-reactivity, and other enzyme properties. The inability of thioltransferase from some mammalian sources to act as an electron carrier in ribonucleotide reductase systems, whether homologous or heterologous in origin, remains to be explained in future studies.

Abstract
A rapid inhibition of protein synthesis is observed when isolated rat hepatocytes are incubated in the presence of 0.25-0.5 mM of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBOOH). Such an inhibition occurs in the absence of a cytolytic effect by tBOOH. Iron chelators (o-phenanthroline and desferrioxiamine), protected against oxidative cell death, but they did not modify the inhibition of protein synthesis caused by tBOOH (0.5 mM), suggesting that free radicals are less implicated in such an impairment. Electron micrographs of hepatocytes under oxidative stress show disaggregation of polyribosomes but not oxidative alterations, such as blebs or mitochondrial swelling. Protein synthesis inhibition is accompanied by a decrease in reduced glutathione (GSH) and an increase in glutathione disulfide (GSSG) and the level of protein S-thiolation (protein mixed disulfides formation). Such an increase of GSSG appears as a critical event since diethylmaleate (DEM) at 0.2 mM reduced GSH content by more than 50% but did not affect either GSSG content or protein synthesis. The addition of exogenous GSH and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) to tBOOH-treated hepatocytes significantly reduced the formation of protein mixed disulfides and restored the depressed protein synthesis either completely or partially. We suggest that S-thiolation of some key proteins may be involved in protein synthesis inhibition by tBOOH.

Abstract
Cytochrome b5 is unmasked on the removal of ribosomes by chemical degranulation of rat liver microsomes. Reattachment of ribosomes to stripped membranes remasks this enzyme on the membrane surface. This haemoprotein may be involved either in the attachment of ribosomes to reticular membranes or in protein biosynthesis by membrane-bound ribosomes.

Abstract
Recently, we synthesized and characterized vanadyl saccharides to evaluate the effects of various vanadate and vanadyl complexes, which differ in their oxidation states on various biomacromolecules and cellular activities (1, 2). Here, we report that both vanadate (+V oxidation state) and different vanadyl species (+IV oxidation state) such as vanadyl D-glucose, vanadyl diascorbate, and vanadyl sulfate, impair the formation of polysomes and inhibit the initiation of protein synthesis in hemin-supplemented rabbit reticulocyte lysates. Vanadate inhibits protein synthesis more severely than vanadyl species and is consistent with the idea that vanadate is reduced to vanadyl state intracellularly. The inhibition of protein synthesis caused by low concentrations (10-20 microM) of vanadate and vanadyl species is effectively mitigated by reducing agents such as dithiothreitol, reduced glutathione (GSH), or reduced pyridine dinucleotide. A significant decrease in the protein synthesis inhibition in vanadate-treated lysates by GSH suggests that the mechanism of protein synthesis inhibition by vanadate is different than the action of other oxidants such as heavy metal ions and oxidized glutathione. This suggestion is also consistent with the findings that vanadium compounds do not stimulate phosphorylation of the alpha (alpha) subunit of initiation factor 2 (eIF2) or decrease the guanine nucleotide exchange activity of eIF2B, which is required to exchange GDP for GTP in eIF2.GDP binary complex. The reduction of vanadate to vanadyl state and the subsequent complex formation of vanadyl species with the endogenous reducing compounds or with the -SH groups of certain proteins may be the cause for protein synthesis inhibition in lysates.

Abstract
In this article we focus first on the molecular mechanisms controlling the activity of the heme-regulated translational inhibitor, HRI, in erythroid cells. Then we discuss the tissue-specific expression of HRI. The experimental evidence obtained to date indicates that the major physiological role of HRI is in adjusting the synthesis of globin to the availability of heme.

Abstract
Bovine cornea extracted with 0.154 M NaCl yielded a protein fraction which (i) inhibited protein synthesis in rabbit reticulocyte lysates, and (ii) reduced the incorporation of formyl-methionine from f[35S]Met-tRNA(f) into polypeptides. The inhibition was reversed by millimolar concentrations of glucose 6-phosphate or cAMP and partially reversed by the addition of initiation factor eIF-2. Thus, the corneal inhibitor may act by directly interfering with the activity of eIF-2.

Abstract
The induction of heme oxygenase in rat liver by cobaltous chloride (CoCl2) and Co-protoporphyrin IX is entirely prevented by the administration of alpha-tocopherol and allopurinol. CoCl2 was converted in the liver into Co-protoporphyrin IX before it induced heme oxygenase activity. Actinomycin and cycloheximide affected to a similar degree the induction of heme oxygenase by both CoCl2 and Co-protoporphyrin IX. Administration of either CoCl2 or Co-protoporphyrin strongly decreased the intrahepatic GSH pool, a decrease which was completely prevented by the administration of either alpha-tocopherol or allopurinol. The latter compounds prevented heme oxygenase induction as well as the decrease in hepatic GSH when administered 2 h before, together with, or 2 h after CoCl2. However, when given 5 h after administration of CoCl2, alpha-tocopherol and allopurinol showed no preventive effect. Similar results were obtained when Co-protoporphyrin IX was used, with the difference that when alpha-tocopherol and allopurinol were given 2 h after administration of the inducer, they showed no protective effect. Phenylhydrazine and diamide also induced heme oxygenase activity in rat liver. This inductive effect was preceded by a decrease in the intrahepatic GSH pool, which took place several hours before induction of the oxygenase. Administration of alpha-tocopherol and allopurinol prevented induction of the oxygenase but had no effect on the decrease in GSH levels. These results suggest that the induction of heme oxygenase by phenylhydrazine and the diamide is preceded by an oxidative stress which very likely originates in the depletion of GSH. The induction of heme oxygenase by hemin was not prevented by administration of alpha-tocopherol or allopurinol. Coprotoporphyrin IX did not affect the pattern of the molecular forms of hepatic biliverdin reductase, at variance with CoCl2, which is known to convert molecular form 1 of the enzyme into molecular form 3.

Abstract
A new sulfur-rich and basic polypeptide, designated as gamma-hordothionin, has been isolated from barley endosperm by a semi-preparative purification consisting of extraction with a volatile salt solution followed by high-performance liquid chromatography using a reversed-phase C4 column. The isolated polypeptide was found to be homogeneous by micro-two-dimensional gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The complete primary structure of gamma-hordothionin was determined by automatic degradation of the intact, S-carboxymethylated and S-pyridylethylated gamma-hordothionin and fragments obtained by proteolytic cleavage. gamma-Hordothionin consists of a single polypeptide chain of 47 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 5250 Da and contains four disulfide bridges. gamma-Hordothionin inhibits translation in cell-free systems derived from mammalian (rabbit reticulocyte, mouse liver) as well as non-mammalian (Artemia embryo) cells, at several levels. At low concentrations (1-10 microM) the protein seems to affect mainly the polypeptide-chain-initiation process, although it might also act at the elongation level. At higher concentrations (20-80 microM) this inhibitor induces activation of an eukaryotic polypeptide-chain initiation factor 2 alpha-subunit (eIF-2 alpha) kinase in hemin-supplemented reticulocyte lysates, as does hemin deficiency. The presence of the disulfide bridges in gamma-hordothionin appears to be essential for the eIF-2 alpha kinase activation. Based on its similarity at both the structural and functional level with the different genetic variants of thionins (alpha and beta-thionins, from wheat and barley), gamma-hordothionin is a putative member of the thionin family.

Abstract
We have purified to apparent homogeneity a heat-stable (HS) factor from the postribosomal supernatant of rabbit reticulocyte lysates [(1988) FEBS Lett. 236, 479-483]. HS inhibits translation in hemin-supplemented lysates and induces phosphorylation of the alpha-subunit of the eukaryotic initiation factor 2 as does hemin deficiency. The translational inhibition produced by addition of HS to hemin-containing reticulocyte lysates and the accompanying phosphorylation of the eIF-2 alpha subunit can be prevented or reversed by NADPH generators including glucose 6-phosphate, NADPH itself, and also by dithiols, e.g., dithiothreitol, but not by fructose 1,6-bisphosphate or by monothiols, e.g., 2-mercaptoethanol. When added to crude preparations of the proinhibitor form (proHCI) of the heme-controlled translational inhibitor (HCI), HS produces a pronounced increase of the HCI to proHCI ratio. It appeared possible that HS might be oxidized glutathione (GSSG) but this is not the case, for HS is not a substrate for highly purified glutathione reductase from rabbit erythrocytes. The spectral analysis of highly purified HS is consistent with the idea that HS could be a nucleotide derivative.

Abstract
Cultured mouse erythroleukemia (MEL) cells can be induced to erythroid differentiation by a variety of chemical agents. This differentiation process is marked by the onset of globin mRNA and hemoglobin synthesis. In rabbit reticulocytes, globin synthesis is regulated by a hemin-controlled translational inhibitor (HCI) which acts via phosphorylation of the alpha subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF-2). From both uninduced and induced MEL cells, hemin-controlled eIF-2 alpha kinases have been partially purified. They resemble HCI with respect to their chromatographic behaviour and their sensitivity towards physiological concentrations of hemin (5-10 microM). Further purification on phosphocellulose, however, reveals that the eIF-2 alpha kinase from uninduced MEL cells is chromatographically distinct from HCI, whilst the eIF-2 alpha kinase activity from induced MEL cells represents a mixture of the former and the HCI-type eIF-2 alpha kinase. The latter inhibits protein synthesis in a fractionated system from rabbit reticulocytes which is free of, but sensitive to, HCI, whereas the eIF-2 alpha kinase from uninduced MEL cells does not show any inhibitory activity. This observation is supported by the finding that induced MEL cells respond in vivo to iron depletion with a shut-off of protein synthesis (as do rabbit reticulocytes), whilst uninduced MEL cells do not.

Abstract
In eukaryotic cells, protein biosynthesis is controlled at the level of polypeptide chain initiation. During the initiation process, eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF-2) catalyzes the binding of Met-tRNAf and GTP to the 40S ribosomal subunit. In a later step, eIF-2 is released from the ribosomal initiation complex, most likely as an eIF-2.GDP complex, and another initiation factor termed eIF-2B is necessary to recycle eIF-2 by displacing GDP by GTP. In rabbit reticulocytes, inhibition of protein synthesis is accompanied by the phosphorylation of the alpha-subunit of eIF-2, a process that does not render eIF-2 inactive, but prevents it from being recycled by eIF-2B. First described in rabbit reticulocytes as inhibitors of translation, two distinct eIF-2 alpha kinases are known: the haemin-controlled kinase (termed HCI) and the double-stranded RNA-activated kinase (termed DAI). eIF-2 alpha phosphorylation appears to be a reversible control mechanism since corresponding phosphatases have been described. Recent reports indicate a correlation between eIF-2 alpha phosphorylation and the inhibition of protein synthesis in several mammalian cell types under a range of physiological conditions. In this review, the physical and functional features of the known eIF-2 alpha kinases are described with respect to their role in mammalian cells and the mode of activation by cellular signals. Furthermore, the possible impact of the eIF-2/eIF-2B ratio and of the subcellular compartmentation of these factors (and the eIF-2 alpha kinases) on mammalian protein synthesis is discussed.

Abstract
Thermotolerance and synthesis of heat shock proteins are induced in cells in response to a variety of environmental stresses. We examined the suggestion of Hightower (1980) that modifications of intracellular proteins may be the triggering event that induces heat shock protein synthesis and thermotolerance. We did so by modifying cellular proteins, using diamide, a sulfhydryl oxidizing agent, and dithio-bis (succinimidyl propionate), an agent that cross-links bifunctional amino groups. Both of these agents induced heat shock proteins and thermotolerance in CHO (HA-1) cells. Furthermore, we observed cross-resistance and self-tolerance with three seemingly unrelated stimuli (diamide, heat, and sodium arsenite). This observation suggests that the induction of protective responses to these stimuli is mediated by a common mechanism. The results support the hypothesis that production of abnormal proteins by various stresses induces the stress responses as well as tolerance.

Abstract
We have purified to apparent homogeneity a novel heat-stable (HS) factor from postribosomal supernatants of rabbit reticulocyte lysates by heating for 10 min at 80 degrees C, fractionation on Sephadex, anion-exchange chromatography on QMA Accell, and gel filtration HPLC. The apparent molecular mass of HS is 500-1000 Da on the basis of its behaviour on gel filtration. Like a factor from bovine heart [(1982) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 79, 3134-3137], the reticulocyte HS inhibits translation in hemin-supplemented lysates with biphasic kinetics similar to hemin deficiency and promotes phosphorylation of the alpha-subunit of the eukaryotic initiation factor eIF-2. It is active at nanomolar concentrations. Reticulocyte HS appears to be neither a peptide nor an oligonucleotide since HS activity was insensitive to proteolytic or nucleolytic digestion.

Abstract
Cell-free protein synthesis in rabbit reticulocyte lysate translation mixtures has been studied during multi-hour incubations. In an impaired lysate obtained from cells stored at 0 degrees C before lysis, and showing a low initial rate of synthesis, translation could be stimulated by a factor of 4 by including RNase inhibitor and additional ATP and GTP. In translation mixtures prepared from normal lysates, protein synthesis could be improved by approximately 50% by the addition of excess GTP. The observed increases in protein synthesis were obtained by improved maintenance of the initial rate of synthesis.

Abstract
We have examined the effect of the purified IgG from the serum of guinea pigs immunized with a highly purified preparation of rabbit reticulocyte, hemin-controlled translational repressor (HCR) on protein synthesis in the reticulocyte lysate. We have found that the anti-HCR (but not non-immune) IgG completely prevents or reverses the suppression of protein synthesis that occurs in hemin-deficient lysate, providing a direct and definitive demonstration that the inhibitory effect of hemin-deficiency is mediated solely by the activation of HCR. The anti-HCR IgG also prevents or reverses the phosphorylation of eIF-2 alpha and the reduced binding of Met-tRNAf to 40 S ribosomal subunits that accompanies the inhibition of protein synthesis in hemin-deficient lysate. In contrast, the anti-HCR IgG has no effect on the inhibition produced by low levels of double-stranded RNA (that is due to the activation of a separate protein kinase), but it does partly reverse inhibition due to oxidized glutathione, ethanol, and phosphatidylserine, indicating that the effect of these components is mediated, at least in part, by the activation of HCR. Finally, we have confirmed our earlier observation that an excess of proHCR, the inactive precursor of HCR, has little effect on the neutralization of HCR by limiting anti-HCR IgG, suggesting that the antigenic determinants on HCR are not exposed on ProHCR.

Abstract
The relationship between total glutathione (GSH) content and cell growth was examined in 3T3 fibroblasts. The intracellular GSH level of actively growing cultures gradually decreases as these cells become quiescent by either serum deprivation or high cell density. Upon mitogenic stimulation of sparse, quiescent (G0/G1) cultures with serum, there is a rapid 2.3-fold elevation in intracellular GSH levels which is maximal by 1 h and returns to baseline by 2 h. This is followed by a more gradual increase in GSH content as cells enter the S phase. In addition, the elevation in GSH content is required for maximum induction of DNA synthesis. Treatments that prevent the early increase in intracellular GSH levels do not affect protein synthesis but result in a reversible dose-dependent decrease in the percent of cells capable of entering S phase. These results indicate that GSH may be important in the regulation of cellular proliferation.

Abstract
The translational inhibition produced by addition of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) to hemin-containing reticulocyte lysates and the accompanying phosphorylation of the alpha subunit of the polypeptide chain initiation factor eIF-2 can be prevented or reversed by NADPH generators, including glucose 6-phosphate, deoxyglucose 6-phosphate, fructose 6-phosphate, NADPH itself, and also by dithiols, e.g., dithiothreitol, but not by reduced glutathione (GSH) or other monothiols, e.g., 2-mercaptoethanol. The same is true of the inhibition caused by addition of glutamate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate, and NH4+, which may be entirely due to NADPH depletion via the reaction.

Abstract
Alcide, a liquid sterilizer, was evaluated for teratogenic potential in rats and mice. Sodium chlorite and lactic acid, the active ingredients of this compound, form chlorine dioxide when mixed. Pregnant rats and mice were administered 1 ml and 0.1 ml, respectively, of Alcide liquid by gavage on days 6-15 of gestation. The general health of the dams was evaluated and the fetuses examined for external, visceral and skeletal malformations. There was no evidence of maternal toxicity among treated rats and mice. Fetal viability, weight, length and number of resorptions were comparable with control groups. Teratogenic toxicity was not detected in either species. There was some incidence of skeletal and visceral anomalies; however, these variances were not significantly different from control animals.

Abstract
Alcide gel is a germicidal agent which is highly effective in killing a wide range of bacteria and fungi in vitro within 1 min. Alcide gel consists of sodium chlorite and lactic acid, parts A and B, respectively. Chlorine dioxide is formed when sodium chlorite and lactic acid, the active ingredients of Alcide, are mixed. The objective of this investigation was to study the teratogenic effects of Alcide gel both in rats and in mice. The gel was administered topically in doses of 1 and 2 g per kg body weight on days 6-15 of gestation. No toxic symptoms were observed following exposure of pregnant rats and mice to Alcide gel. Viability of the fetuses as well as weight, length and number of resorptions were quite similar compared with control groups. Fetuses were examined for external, visceral and skeletal anomalies. Some incidence of missing or incompletely ossified sternebrae, missing ribs and incomplete ossification of skull bones were observed from skeletal examination. Gastromegaly, kidney agenesis, heart displacement, interatrial septal defect, limb hyperflexion and club foot were observed from soft-tissue examination. These defects, however, were not significantly different compared with control animals. Alcide gel was not teratogenic at the doses tested.

Abstract
The synthesis of globin, the major protein synthesized by reticulocytes, requires the presence of heme, the prosthetic group of hemoglobin. The absence of heme leads to the activation of a nucleotide-independent protein kinase that phosphorylates the alpha subunit of the chain initiation factor eIF-2. This modification interferes with the catalytic function of eIF-2 in protein synthesis initiation. Recent progress in our understanding of the molecular mechanism of this inhibition is briefly reviewed. The same phosphorylation is catalyzed by a different enzyme (DAI) which, while constitutive in reticulocytes, is induced by interferon in other cells. This enzyme is activated by low concentrations of double-stranded RNA in conjunction with ATP. The mechanisms of activation of these enzymes are still poorly understood. HCI is believed to form an inactive complex with heme and become active when the heme is removed by hemoglobin formation. The proinhibitor form of HCI (proHCI) is unstable in vitro and, even in the presence of heme, is irreversibly inactivated by SH-binding reagents, alkaline pH, slightly elevated temperatures, or high hydrostatic pressure. In hemin-supplemented reticulocyte lysates proHCI can also be reversibly activated by oxidized glutathione (GSSG) or NADPH depletion as well as by polyunsaturated fatty acids and by Ca2+-phospholipid. The mechanism of activation of HCI by GSSG has not been clarified although it appears to involve oxidation of proHCI SH groups to disulfides. Like activation by GSSG, the activation of HCI by polyunsaturated fatty acids and by Ca2+-phospholipid also appears to be largely due to oxidation of some of the enzyme's SH groups. There thus appear to be two fully independent mechanisms of HCI activation in reticulocyte lysates, one involving heme deficiency, the other involving oxidation of proHCI SH groups. The latter, but not the former, can be prevented or reversed by NADPH generators or dithiols. ProHCI appears to be maintained in the reduced, inactive state by a system involving NADPH, thioredoxin, and thioredoxin reductase.

Abstract
A spontaneous mutation causing a nuclear opacity of the lens of the eye was detected among (101 X C3H) F1 hybrid mice. The nuclear opacity, provisional gene symbol Nop, is inherited as a single autosomal dominant gene. Penetrance on the genetic background of the 101-strain is complete. Heterozygotes and homozygotes are viable and fertile. The amount of protein after centrifugation at 3000 g is reduced in the cataractous lens. After isoelectric focusing a band at pH 8.5 in the protein pattern is missing. The glutathione redox-state of the cataractous lens is also affected. The amount of oxidized glutathione relative to the total amount of glutathione is increased from 2.7 to 7.8% in the Nop/ + mutant (P less than 0.01). Enzyme activities connected with the glutathione redox-cycle (glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) are not affected. The activities of some glycolytic enzymes, phosphoglycerate kinase, glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoglyceromutase and triosephosphate isomerase are reduced (P less than 0.05). However, the concentration of ATP in the cataractous lens is unchanged.

Abstract
Thiol status and growth in normal and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase-deficient human erythrocytes. Experimental Parasitology 57, 239-247. The relationship of the thiol status of the human erythrocyte to the in vitro growth of Plasmodium falciparum in normal and in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD)-deficient red cells was investigated. Pretreatment with the thiol-oxidizing agent diamide led to inhibition of growth of P. falciparum in G6PD-deficient cells, but did not affect parasite growth in normal cells. Diamide-treated normal erythrocytes quickly regenerated intracellular glutathione (GSH) and regained normal membrane thiol status, whereas G6PD-deficient cells did not. Parasite invasion and intracellular development were affected under conditions in which intracellular GSH was oxidized to glutathione disulfide and membrane intrachain and interchain disulfides were produced. An altered thiol status in the G6PD-deficient erythrocytes could underlie the selective advantage of G6PD deficiency in the presence of malaria.

Abstract
Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase, Mn superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase activities and thiobarbituric acid-reactive products were assayed in the superficial pectoral muscles of genetically dystrophic chickens (line 413) and their controls (line 412) 1, 2, and 4 weeks, and 4 months after hatching. In control chickens, all these enzyme activities declined as they grew older. In dystrophic chickens, all these enzyme activities were significantly elevated at all stages of development studied, and their developmental time courses were quite different from those in the controls. Thiobarbituric acid-reactive products were also significantly elevated in dystrophic chickens after 2 weeks of age. Invasion of macrophages and lipid cells were not manifest until 4 weeks after hatching in the dystrophic chickens studied. Therefore, observed abnormalities were considered to represent biochemical pathologies within muscle cells. Increased activities of the enzymes which are responsible for the regulation of active oxygen species and the elevated thiobarbituric acid-reactive products would indicate the presence of increased turnover of those active oxygen species. These findings indicated that active oxygen species were playing a significant role in the pathogenesis of muscular dystrophies. The possible mechanisms of cellular damage by active oxygen species are discussed.

Abstract
The treatment of reticulocyte post-ribosomal supernatant containing ribosome wash with high pO2 or glutathione disulfide resulted in the activation of an inhibitor of protein synthesis of approximately 23,000-Mr as implicated by its elution from Sephadex G-100. This inhibitor could also be directly activated by exposure of the approximately 23,000-Mr fractions of the control eluate to high pO2 or glutathione disulfide. The high pO2-dependent activation of the inhibitor was blocked by the presence of glucose-6-phosphate or cAMP (2 mM). The inhibitor was stable (and activable) during a 5 minute incubation at 80 degrees C. The analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the G-100 (approximately 23,000-Mr) fractions treated with [14C]N-ethylmaleimide revealed the abolishment of the label in a approximately 23,000-Mr protein band in parallel to high pO2-dependent inhibitor activation.

Abstract
The mode of action of helenalin and bis(helenalinyl) malonate as protein synthesis inhibitors of P-388 lymphocytic leukemia cells was investigated. The initial characterizations were carried out in crude lysates of the P-388 cells. In the lysate, there was a 4 min lag after the addition of drug before inhibition of protein synthesis occurred. Both drugs allowed run-off of preformed polysomes, but did significantly inhibit the formation of the 80 S initiation complex suggesting a preferential inhibition of one or more initiation reactions. The effect of these drugs on inhibition of both elongation and initiation reactions was further investigated using more fractionated systems prepared from P-388 cells. Poly(U)-directed polyphenylalanine synthesis was marginally inhibited by both drugs, but the degree of inhibition was not sufficient to explain the inhibition observed in either the lysate or in whole cell preparations of P-388. The formation of the ternary initiation complex was not significantly inhibited by either drug, but the conversion of this complex to the 48 and 80 S initiation complexes was inhibited. The inhibition of 48 S initiation complex formation by both drugs was sufficient to explain their inhibition of protein synthesis in whole cells.

Abstract
An inhibitor of protein synthesis was activated under high oxygen partial pressure (pO2) in hemin-supplemented and glutathione disulfide-free lysates from rabbit reticulocytes. This inhibitor shared some common features with other translational inhibitors from rabbit reticulocytes; that is, hemin-controlled repressor, glutathione disulfide-activated inhibitor and high pressure-activated inhibitor. It caused biphasic kinetics of inhibition which could be potentiated by ATP. Its activation was prevented by cAMP or glucose 6-phosphate. The high pO2-inhibitor could be partially purified from post-ribosomal supernatant containing ribosomal salt wash by precipitation between 0-50% (NH4)2SO4-saturation, Sephadex G-100, and DEAE-cellulose chromatography.

Abstract
The soluble fraction from rat liver contains an inhibitor of protein chain initiation when tested in a cell-free protein-synthesizing system derived from rabbit reticulocytes. The administration of ethionine to rats increased the inhibitory activity in the liver. This liver inhibitor displayed properties similar to those of hemin-controlled inhibitor found in rabbit reticulocytes: (i) the liver inhibitor inhibited protein chain initiation in rabbit reticulocyte lysate with characteristic biphasic kinetics; (ii) the liver inhibitor disaggregated the reticulocyte polysomes with a concomitant increase in 80 S ribosomes; (iii) the inhibition was prevented or reversed by eIF-2. The activation of the liver inhibitor by ethionine was rapidly and completely counteracted by the subsequent administration of methionine and adenine to rats. The mechanism of inhibition of protein synthesis by ethionine was discussed in the light of these findings.
