  The subcellular distribution of a tyrosine aminotransferase inactivating factor in rat liver has been investigated. Most of its activity is associated with plasma membranes, with minor amounts in mitochondria and endoplasmatic reticulum. The factor is also found in kidney and inactivates the enzyme reversibly in presence of cysteine, most likely by modification of -SH groups. ATP counteracts this inactivation only, when crude enzyme extracts are inactivated by purified subcellular fractions or when the purified enzyme is inactivated in presence of liver or kidney cortex homogenates. The relationship of this inactivation to reported different forms of the enzyme has been investigated. Form I of three different forms, that can be obtained by hydroxyl-apatite chromatography, is readily inactivated, form III can be partly converted to form I by incubation in presence of purified plasma membranes. The relationship of these findings to a possible multistep mechanism in the turnover of the enzyme discussed.
