Protein phosphorylation and the regulation of mRNA translation following cerebral ischemia

Wieloch, Tadeusz LU ; Bergstedt, Kerstin and Hu, Bing Ren (1993) In Progress in Brain Research 96. p.179-191
Abstract

This chapter discusses the changes in protein phosphorylation following ischemia, with particular reference to the regulation of the initiation of protein synthesis. Transient cerebral ischemia seems to induce a post-ischemic imbalance between protein kinase and protein phosphatase activities, leading to a net dephosphorylation of proteins in the vulnerable neurons. This imbalance may lead to the persistent changes in processes crucial for neuronal survival such as post-ischemic protein synthesis. The depression of protein synthesis after an ischemic insult most probably is because of a decreased guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) activity, leading to a limited availability of eukaryotic initiation factors (eIF-2) for initiation...

This chapter discusses the changes in protein phosphorylation following ischemia, with particular reference to the regulation of the initiation of protein synthesis. Transient cerebral ischemia seems to induce a post-ischemic imbalance between protein kinase and protein phosphatase activities, leading to a net dephosphorylation of proteins in the vulnerable neurons. This imbalance may lead to the persistent changes in processes crucial for neuronal survival such as post-ischemic protein synthesis. The depression of protein synthesis after an ischemic insult most probably is because of a decreased guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) activity, leading to a limited availability of eukaryotic initiation factors (eIF-2) for initiation complex formation. The inhibition of GEF activity in the vulnerable regions could in turn be because of dephosphorylation of GEF, possibly because of tyrosine phosphatase activation and a decreased casein kinase II activity. Post-ischemic inhibition of protein kinase C and calcium calmodulin kinase II may in addition depress eIF-4 activity leading to a selective translation of mRNA such as heat shock mRNA.
