Figure 7. Delayed onset of protein synthesis inhibition by excessive EF2 could be produced only by modes inhibiting ADPR•EF2-ribosome interactions.

Figure 7

(A) Comparisons of the transient declines in the protein synthesis rate and the intact EF2 concentration as modeled by the inhibition modes A (Inline graphic = 0) and mode D (Inline graphic = 0) of model V3 (Inline graphic = 0.3 s−1) in a control system ([R]t = 0.5 µM and [EF2]t = 0.6 µM). Insets show the same profiles in semi-log-linear scale. (B) A tenfold increase in [EF2]t lengthens the latency for the onset of protein synthesis decline in the mode D, but accelerates the inhibition of protein synthesis more than EF2 inactivation in the mode A.
