Meal feeding enhances formation of eIF4F in skeletal muscle: role of increased eIF4E availability and eIF4G phosphorylation.
Feeding promotes protein accretion in skeletal muscle through a stimulation of the mRNA translation initiation phase of protein synthesis either secondarily to nutrient-induced rises in insulin or owing to direct effects of nutrients themselves. The present set of experiments establishes the effects of meal feeding on potential signal transduction pathways that may be important in accelerating mRNA translation initiation. Gastrocnemius muscle from male Sprague-Dawley rats trained to consume a meal consisting of rat chow was sampled before, during, and after the meal. Meal feeding enhanced the assembly of the active eIF4G.eIF4E complex, which returned to basal levels within 3 h of removal of food. The increased assembly of the active eIF4G.eIF4E complex was associated with a marked 10-fold rise in phosphorylation of eIF4G(Ser(1108)) and a decreased assembly of inactive 4E-BP1.eIF4E complex. The reduced assembly of 4E-BP1.eIF4E complex was associated with a 75-fold increase in phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 in the gamma-form during feeding. Phosphorylation of S6K1 on Ser(789) was increased by meal feeding, although the extent of phosphorylation was greater at 0.5 h after feeding than after 1 h. Phosphorylation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) on Ser(2448) or Ser(2481), an upstream kinase responsible for phosphorylating both S6K1 and 4E-BP1, was increased at all times during meal feeding, although the extent of phosphorylation was greater at 0.5 h after feeding than after 1 h. Phosphorylation of PKB, an upstream kinase responsible for phosphorylating mTOR, was elevated only after 0.5 h of meal feeding for Thr(308), whereas phosphorylation Ser(473) was significantly elevated at only 0.5 and 1 h after initiation of feeding. We conclude from these studies that meal feeding stimulates two signal pathways in skeletal muscle that lead to elevated eIF4G.eIF4E complex assembly through increased phosphorylation of eIF4G and decreased association of 4E-BP1 with eIF4E.
