RESUMO
The histidine analogue L-histidinol, reported by Vaughan and Hansen (1973) to establish a potent, readily reversible inhibition of eukaryotic protein synthesis in vivo, was used to investigate the regulation of macromolecular synthesis in reovirus-infected L-929 cells. The addition of L-histidinol to normal L cells led to a total inhibition of protein synthesis. The inhibition appeared to be a consequence neither of isotope dilution resulting from elevated endogenous amino acids nor of an inability of treated cells to accumulate exogenous amino acids. Addition of L-histidine to histidinol-arrested cells resulted in a complete recovery of protein synthesis. Similarly, protein synthesis in reovirus-infected L cells examined 17 h postinfection (31 C) was totally inhibited by histidinol treatment and was readily reversed by the addition of histidine. Reovirus-infected cells treated with histidinol had an essentially unaltered capacity to synthesize reovirus single-stranded RNA relative to unperturbed cultures but a diminishing ability to maintain genome RNA synthesis. Addition of L-histidine to arrested cultures led to a complete recovery of genome RNA synthesis. The L-histidinol-mediated arrest of protein synthesis was both very effective and easily reversed, suggesting the general applicability of this novel inhibitor to investigations of regulation of macromolecular synthesis in both normal and virus-infected eukaryotic cells.
