RESUMO
The control of globin synthesis by hemin in cell-free preparations of rabbit reticulocytes is mediated by an inhibitor (translational repressor) of globin chain initiation that is inactivated by hemin. When the ribosome-free supernatant fraction is warmed at 34° without hemin, it quickly acquires the ability to inhibit a fresh cell-free preparation. If the warmed supernatant fraction is further incubated with hemin, its inhibitory activity is lost. This reversible inhibitor, which is observable only during the early period of incubation without hemin, is distinct from an irreversible inhibitor that becomes prevalent during longer incubations. The reversible inhibitor may be an intermediate in the formation of the irreversible inhibitor. The sensitivity of the reversible inhibitor to inactivation by hemin, which permits resumption of globin synthesis in both intact cells and lysates, indicates that the inhibitor is a physiological regulator.
