Abstract
It was previously shown that the poliovirus-induced inhibition of translation of capped mRNAs can be reversed by a protein found in preparations of the eukaryotic initiation factor eIF-4B [Rose, J. K., Trachsel, H., Leong, K. & Baltimore, D. (1978) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 75, 2732--2736]. This "restoring factor" has now been purified from a high-salt wash of rabbit reticulocyte ribosomes by taking advantage of its tight association with factor eIF-3 at low salt concentrations. It did not copurify with the major M_r 80,000 polypeptide of eIF-4B preparations but did copurify with a M_r 24,000 polypeptide previously shown to bind to the cap structures of mRNAs [Sonenberg, N., Rupprecht, K. M., Hecht, S. M. & Shatkin, A. J. (1979) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 76, 4345--4349]. Both the electrophoretic mobility and the tryptic peptide pattern of the restoring factor were indistinguishable from those of the cap-binding protein, and the restoring factor could be crosslinked to the 5'-terminal cap on mRNA. Thus, is appears that poliovirus inhibits cellular protein synthesis by inactivation of some crucial property of the cap-binding protein.
