Regulation of translation in erythropoietic cells by heme levels

Regulation of translation in erythropoietic cells by heme levels
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: If heme levels fall, the heme-controlled kinase becomes active and phosphorylates eIF2 (red arrow).

This blocks further translation by tying this factor into a stable complex with eIF2B.

When heme levels are adequate, the kinase is inhibited, and eIF2 is available for translation initiation.
