A kinase has been isolated from wheat (Triticum aestivum) germ that phosphorylates the 220 kilodaltons (kD) subunit of wheat germ initiation factor (eIF) 4F, the 80 kD subunit of eIF-4B (an isozyme form of eIF-4F) and eIF-4G (the functional equivalent to mammalian eIF-4B). The kinase elutes from Sephacryl S-200 slightly in front of ovalbumin. The kinase phosphorylates casein and histone IIA to a small extent, but does not phosphorylate phosvitin. Of the wheat germ initiation factors, elongation factors, and small and large ribosomal subunits, only eIF-4F, eIF-4B, and eIF-4G are phosphorylated to a significant extent. The kinase phosphorylates eIF-4F to the extent of two phosphates per mole of the 220 kD subunit and phosphorylates eIF-4B to the extent of one phosphate per mole of the 80 kD subunit. The 26 kD subunit of eIF-4F and the 28 kD subunit of eIF-4B are not phosphorylated by the kinase. The kinase phosphorylates the 59 kD component of eIF-4G to the extent of 0.25 phosphate per mole of eIF-4G. Phosphorylation of eIF-4F and eIF-4B does not affect their ability to support the binding of mRNA to small ribosomal subunits in vitro.
