Abstract
From their synthesis in the nucleus to their degradation in the cytoplasm, all mRNAs have the same objective, which is to translate the DNA-stored genetic information into functional proteins at the proper time and location. To this end, many proteins are generally associated with mRNAs as soon as transcription takes place in the nucleus to organize spatiotemporal regulation of the gene expression in cells. Here we reviewed how YB-1 (YBX1 gene), one of the major mRNA-binding proteins in the cytoplasm, packaged mRNAs into either compact or extended linear nucleoprotein mRNPs. Interestingly the structural plasticity of mRNPs coordinated by YB-1 could provide means for the contextual regulation of mRNA translation. Posttranslational modification of YB-1, notably in the long unstructured YB-1 C-terminal domain (CTD), and/or the protein partners of YB-1 may play a key role in activation/inactivation of mRNPs in the cells notably in response to cellular stress.

Abstract
Cell proliferation exerts a high demand on protein synthesis, yet the mechanisms coupling the two processes are not fully understood. A kinase and phosphatase screen for activators of translation, based on the formation of stress granules in human cells, revealed cell cycle-associated kinases as major candidates. CDK1 was identified as a positive regulator of global translation, and cell synchronization experiments showed that this is an extramitotic function of CDK1. Different pathways including eIF2α, 4EBP, and S6K1 signaling contribute to controlling global translation downstream of CDK1. Moreover, Ribo-Seq analysis uncovered that CDK1 exerts a particularly strong effect on the translation of 5'TOP mRNAs, which includes mRNAs encoding ribosomal proteins and several translation factors. This effect requires the 5'TOP mRNA-binding protein LARP1, concurrent to our finding that LARP1 phosphorylation is strongly dependent on CDK1. Thus, CDK1 provides a direct means to couple cell proliferation with biosynthesis of the translation machinery and the rate of protein synthesis.

Abstract
Recently we reported the purification of a mitogen-activated S6 kinase from Swiss mouse 3T3 fibroblasts and rat liver. The rat liver protein was cleaved with cyanogen bromide or trypsin and 17 of the resulting peptides were sequenced. DNA primers were generated from 3 peptides that had homology to sequences of the conserved catalytic domain of protein kinases. These primers were used in the polymerase chain reaction to obtain a 0.4-kilobase DNA fragment. This fragment was either radioactively labeled and hybridized to Northern blots of poly(A)+ mRNA or used to screen a rat liver cDNA library. Northern blot analysis revealed four transcripts of 2.5, 3.2, 4.0, and 6.0 kilobases, and five S6 kinase clones were obtained by screening the library. Only two of the clones, which were identical, encoded a full-length protein. This protein had a molecular weight of 56,160, which correlated closely to that of the dephosphorylated kinase determined by SDS/PAGE. The catalytic domain of the kinase resembles that of other serine/threonine kinases belonging to the second messenger subfamily of protein kinases.

Abstract
NRK rat kidney cells infected with a temperature-sensitive mutant of the Kirsten sarcoma virus (ts371) were transformed at 36 degrees C but were phenotypically nontransformed at 41 degrees C because of the abnormal thermolability of the oncogenic 21-kilodalton product of the viral Ki-ras gene. Thus tsK-NRK cells were rendered quiescent in a G0-G1 state by a 48-h incubation in serum-free medium at the nonpermissive, p21-inactivating temperature of 41 degrees C. The serum-starved cells could then be stimulated to transit G1 either as nontransformed cells by adding serum at 41 degrees C or as transformed cells by lowering the temperature to a p21-activating 36 degrees C. The viral p21 protein was as effective as serum in stimulating tsK-NRK cells to transit G1 and to start replicating DNA. While p21 effectively stimulated cells to transit G1 even in unconditioned, serum-free medium, they still needed cell-derived conditioning factors to subsequently divide. The p21 protein also enabled the cells to transit G1 in spite of an extracellular Ca2+ deficiency that inhibited the G1 transit of serum-stimulated cells. p21 activity was needed to stimulate both early and late G1 events. In contrast to serum, p21 did not stimulate total RNA or protein synthesis, but some RNA and protein synthesis must have been needed for the p21-driven G1 transit because it could be stopped by actinomycin D or cycloheximide.

Abstract
Evidence is steadily mounting that the proto-oncogenes, whose products organize and start the programs that drive normal eukaryotic cells through their chromosome replication/mitosis cycles, are transiently stimulated by sequential signals from a multi-purpose, receptor-operated mechanism (consisting of internal surges of Ca2+ and bursts of protein kinase C activity resulting from phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate breakdown and the opening of membrane Ca2+ channels induced by receptor-associated tyrosine-protein kinase activity) and bursts of cyclic AMP-dependent kinase activity. The bypassing or subversion of the receptor-operated Ca2+/phospholipid breakdown/protein kinase C signalling mechanism is probably the basis of the freeing of cell proliferation from external controls that characterizes all neoplastic transformations.

Abstract
Addition of serum or epidermal growth factor to quiescent Swiss mouse 3T3 cells in culture leads to a number of specific changes in the pattern of protein synthesis. Earlier experiments with actinomycin D suggested that the altered expression of these proteins was controlled at either the pretranslational or translational level. Here we have identified and further characterized the regulation of mRNA expression for ten of these proteins, including protein synthesis elongation factor eEF-1 alpha, poly A binding protein, vimentin, the multiple forms of the actin protein family, and alpha- and beta-tubulin. Using an in vitro translation system, we determined the change in the level of mRNA encoding for each of these proteins after serum stimulation. The results showed that the amount of mRNA coding for eEF-1 alpha, poly A binding protein, vimentin, and alpha- and beta-tubulin remains unchanged during this time, whereas that of the actin family increases. Thus, with the exception of the actin family, the results argue that the expression of all the proteins identified is regulated at the translational level. The importance of this latter group of proteins in cell growth and the abundance of their cognate mRNAs should prove them useful tools in elucidating the mechanisms involved in the activation of translationally repressed mRNA during the mitogenic response.

Abstract
Quiescent 3T3 cells grown in media containing 4% foetal calf serum showed different responses to insulin and to serum repletion (to 12%). Insulin stimulated protein synthesis within 1 h and this early response was insensitive to actinomycin D. The later insulin response showed progressive sensitivity to actinomycin D. The serum response was slower, not occurring until 1 h, and was inhibited by actinomycin D. Depletion of cell protein kinase C by pre-treatment with phorbol ester caused a total block of the immediate response to insulin but had little effect on the response to serum or the later response to insulin. Acute phorbol ester treatment stimulated protein synthesis.

Abstract
The accompanying paper [McNurlan & Clemens (1986) Biochem. J. 237, 871-876] shows that the inhibition of proliferation of Daudi cells by human interferons is associated with impairment of the overall rate of protein synthesis. We have examined whether two of the mechanisms which are believed to control translation in interferon-treated virus-infected cells may be responsible for the inhibition of protein synthesis during the antiproliferative response in these uninfected cells. Although the rate of polypeptide chain initiation is lower in interferon-treated Daudi cells, as indicated by the disaggregation of polysomes, there is no significant inhibition of activity of initiation factor eIF-2 or of [40 S . Met-tRNAf] initiation complex formation in cell extracts. The phosphorylation state of the alpha subunit of eIF-2 remains unaltered. There is no major decrease in mRNA content as a proportion of total RNA up to 4 days of interferon treatment, as judged by poly(A) content, although the amount of total mRNA/10(6) cells eventually declines. The mRNA present in extracts from interferon-treated cells remains translatable when added to an mRNA-dependent reticulocyte lysate system. We conclude that neither the interferon-inducible eIF-2 protein kinase pathway nor the 2',5'-oligo(adenylate)-ribonuclease L pathway are responsible for the inhibition of polypeptide chain initiation. Rather, the data suggest impairment at the level of formation of [80 S ribosome X mRNA] initiation complexes.

Abstract
Type I procollagen mRNA levels, as well as total RNA and poly(A)-rich mRNA, remain constant when rapidly growing human fetal lung fibroblasts (HFL-1 cells) are compared with quiescent cells. Polysome profiles of cells in both growth states revealed that the distribution of type I collagen mRNA in the mRNP fraction and in polysomes also remained constant even though total RNA and poly(A)-rich mRNA were shifted from polysomes to the mRNP pool in resting cells. Similar results were obtained when RNA fractions in polysomes associated with the cytoskeletal framework were examined. It is known that procollagen production is unaffected by the growth state of cells [Breul, S. D., Bradley, K. H., Hance, A. J., Schafer, M. P., Berg, R. A. and Crystal, R. G. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 5250-5260] although total protein synthesis is markedly decreased in resting cells. It would therefore appear that the translational control responsible for reduced synthesis of non-collagenous proteins in resting cells does not extend to procollagen and that transcriptional control can account for levels of type I procollagen produced by cultured human fibroblasts.

Abstract
Since the mitogenic/oncogenic pp60v-src product of the avian sarcoma virus (ASV) mutant, tsLA23, is abnormally thermolabile, tsLA23-NRK cells were phenotypically nontransformed at 40 degrees C and were consequently rendered quiescent by serum deprivation at this temperature. These serum-deprived cells were stimulated to transit G1 either as transformed cells by simply dropping the temperature to a pp60v-src -activating 36 degrees C, or as nontransformed cells by adding serum at 40 degrees C. Serum stimulation rapidly increased total protein synthesis in these cells and over 100 changes in cellular proteins (resolved by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis) occurred during G1 transit. By contrast, pp60v-src-activation did not increase total protein synthesis and only six proteins (18.5-44 kD) were clearly seen to appear or increase when quiescent cells were stimulated to transit G1 by activating pp60v-src. Three of these six pp60v-src- induced proteins also appeared or accumulated during the G1 transit of serum-stimulated cells. The appearance and/or accumulation of the six proteins and the subsequent initiation of DNA replication may have resulted from pp60v-src stimulating only a small number of critical cellular genes because both the protein changes and DNA replication were completely suppressed by the transcription inhibitor actinomycin D.

Abstract
A linear pathway of morphologically intermediate cells has been identified between the cuboidal epithelial stem cells and the doming alveolar-like cultures of the cell line Rat Mammary (Rama) 25 in the order: cuboidal----grey----dark----dark droplet cell----doming cultures. The overall process can be accelerated by dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or retinoic acid (RA) in the presence of mammotrophic hormones. From 400-450 [35S]methionine-labeled polypeptides that are routinely separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis approximately only 3% change during this process. As the Rama 25 cultures become confluent, three polypeptides of molecular weights (MW) 35 kD (pl = 7.7), 45 kD (pl = 7.5) and 33 kD (pl = 7.7) increase dramatically in radioactive abundance. These increases correspond to increases in numbers of grey cells for the 35 kD polypeptide, to increases in numbers of dark cells together with increases in peanut lectin-binding-ability for the 45 kD polypeptide, and to increases in the numbers of dark cells and in the numbers of droplet cells for the 33 kD polypeptide. After treatment with DMSO, RA or in spontaneously doming cultures, a second set of four polypeptides of MW 26 kD (pl = 5.9), 27 kD (pl = 6.2), 30 kD (pl = 7.2), and the same 33 kD polypeptide as above increase with the increase in numbers of droplet cells, domes, and increase in casein secretion. A variant of Rama 25, Rama 259, which fails to produce droplet cells, domes, or to secrete casein with DMSO and hormones also shows the same changes in the first set but not in the second set of polypeptides. The elongated, myoepithelial-like cell line derived from Rama 25, Rama 29, which cannot undergo any of the above intercellular conversions, fails to show changes in any of these polypeptides. Major changes in radioactive polypeptides have been confirmed for nonradioactive polypeptides and for polypeptides labeled for 4 hr with [35S]methionine. The synthesis of these novel polypeptides thus marks specific morphological stages of the differentiation of mammary epithelial stem to alveolar-like cells in culture, and as such may mark similar differentiation stages in vivo.

Abstract
Heparin suppresses the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells both in vivo and in vitro. The mechanism of action of the antiproliferative activity of heparin is not known. We have detected differences in the synthesis of specific proteins when vascular smooth muscle cells are exposed to heparin and report here that many characteristics of these protein alterations parallel the properties of the antiproliferative activity. The induction into the culture medium of a pair of proteins of approximately 35,000 dalton mw in heparin-treated smooth muscle cell cultures and the antiproliferative effect of heparin share the following characteristics: 1) the effect is reversible, 2) the effect is specific for smooth muscle cells, 3) anticoagulant and non-anticoagulant heparin are equally effective, 4) the effect is lost with time in culture and, 5) heparin is the most potent glycosaminoglycan in producing the effect. Furthermore, heparin causes a transient suppression of a 48,000 dalton substrate-attached protein, whereas chondroitin sulfate A and C and dermatan sulfate had much less effect. Dextran sulfate was almost as effective as heparin in suppressing the synthesis of the substrate-attached protein. These proteins appear to be noncollagenous and the induced synthesis of the 35,000 dalton proteins is inhibited by actinomycin D. Although a direct relationship between these specific protein changes and the antiproliferative effect of heparin has not been proven, these protein alterations may play a crucial role in the effect of heparin on smooth muscle cell growth.

Abstract
NRK cells infected with a temperature-sensitive, transformation-defective mutant of avian sarcoma virus (ASV), tsLA23, are transformed at 36 degrees C, but at 40 degrees C they behave as nontransformed cells because of the inactivation of the abnormally thermolabile pp60v-src product of the virus' transforming src gene. At 40 degrees C, these tsLA23-NRK cells were arrested in G1/G0 by severe serum deprivation. They were induced to enter G1, initiate DNA synthesis 7 or 10 hours later, and then divide as (1) nontransformed cells by adding serum or platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) at 40 degrees C, or (2) transformed cells by lowering the temperature to a pp60v-src-activating 36 degrees C without adding exogenous growth factor(s). The level of pp60v-src kinase activity rose dramatically in these serum-deprived cells within 30 minutes of lowering the temperature to the permissive 36 degrees C, and it fell just as rapidly when the cells were returned to the restrictive 40 degrees C. As little as a 2-hour exposure to 36 degrees C, with an attendant 2-hour burst of pp60v-src kinase activity, was enough to stimulate serum-deprived tsLA23-NRK cells to transit G1 and initiate DNA replication, but not to divide. Much more prolonged pp60v-src activity was needed for these serum-deprived cells to complete their cycle and divide. The prereplicative development of quiescent tsLA23-NRK cells stimulated by serum or PDGF was accompanied by greatly increased protein synthesis and slightly decreased protein degradation, but the pp60v-src-stimulated cells progressed through G1 and initiated DNA replication without appreciably affecting the protein synthetic machinery of the cell. The cells stimulated by the mitogenic action of pp60v-src, like the cells stimulated by serum, needed to activate early prereplicative genes in order to initiate DNA replication. The needed RNA transcripts induced by serum and pp60v-src were produced with comparable efficiency, although it took longer for pp60v-src-stimulated cells to translate these transcripts and to initiate DNA replication, probably because of their unstimulated protein-synthetic machinery.

Abstract
CSF-1 is a hemopoietic growth factor that specifically regulates the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of mononuclear phagocytic cells. A homogeneous population of mononuclear phagocytes, bone marrow derived macrophages (BMM), were used to study the regulation of protein turnover by CSF-1. Removal of CSF-1 (approximately 0.4 nM) from exponentially growing BMM cultured in 15% fetal calf serum containing medium decreases the rate of DNA synthesis by more than 100-fold. Addition of CSF-1 to these cells causes them to resume DNA synthesis within 12 h. More immediate effects of CSF-1 were observed on BMM protein metabolism. BMM cultured for 24 h in the absence of CSF-1 reduce their protein synthetic rate by 50-60%. The protein synthetic rate commences to decrease at 2-3 h after CSF-1 removal. Readdition of CSF-1 to BMM previously incubated in its absence causes a return to the protein synthetic rate of exponentially growing cells within 2 h. In the presence of CSF-1, BMM synthesize protein at a rate of approximately 8.7%/h and degrade it at a rate of approximately 0.9%/h. Removal of CSF-1 results in a decrease in the protein synthetic rate to approximately 3.4%/h and an increase in the rate of protein degradation to approximately 3.4%/h. The rate of protein synthesis by BMM increases linearly with CSF-1 concentration over the range of concentrations stimulating both survival and proliferation, while the rate of protein degradation decreases exponentially over the range of concentrations stimulating survival without proliferation. Therefore, it appears that the stimulation of the rate of protein synthesis and inhibition of the rate of protein degradation are two distinct effects of CSF-1, both part of the pleiotropic response to this growth factor. The inhibition of the rate of protein degradation by CSF-1 may be most significant for its survival inducing effect.

Abstract
A cDNA plasmid library has been constructed from the poly(A)+ RNA present in BALB/c3T3 cells after serum stimulation. Of 3,500 clones tested, approximately 0.5% contained inserts corresponding to mRNAs present at higher levels in serum-stimulated BALB/c 3T3 cell cultures than in quiescent cultures. Most of these RNA species increased 2- to 5-fold, and the kinetics of increase for various RNAs differed. One clone (28H6) hybridized to a 1-kilobase RNA species that is present at barely detectable levels in resting cells but is increased at least 15- to 20-fold after serum stimulation, reaching a maximal level coincident with the onset of DNA synthesis. This RNA was at a high level in proliferating cells but decreased rapidly as cells reached confluence. 28H6 RNA was also increased in resting cells infected with simian virus 40 or stimulated with platelet-derived growth factor.

Abstract
Transition of 3T3 mouse fibroblasts from a quiescent to a growing state was induced by the addition of 10% fresh bovine serum to the culture medium. The number of DNA-synthesizing cells began to increase 10-11 h after the addition of serum and reached a maximum of 70-80% around 24 h. In quiescent cells, maintained in 0.5% serum, residual RNA synthesis represented mainly nucleoplasmic transcription (hnRNA, 5-S RNA and tRNA). Synthesis of tRNA was 2-3-fold increased by 1-2 h after addition of serum; however, a significant stimulation of hnRNA, 5-S RNA and 45-S pre-rRNA synthesis could only be observed around 4h. The experimental data also revealed a close temporal relationship between the onset of serum-stimulated hnRNA and overall protein synthesis. Determined colorimetrically, the cellular RNA and protein content began to increase by 4-5 h and had doubled by 24 h. Virtually the same results on RNA and protein synthesis were obtained when the experiments were performed in the presence of cytosine arabinoside, an inhibitor of DNA synthesis. From our results we concluded that serum-stimulated overall RNA and protein synthesis preceded by several hours serum-induced S phase and was independent of DNA replication.

Abstract
Mouse 3T3 cells, in stationary phase because of serum deprivation, have only half the ribosome content of growing cells. Furthermore, the proportion of protein synthesis devoted to ribosomal proteins is only half that in growing cells. On addition of serum the synthesis of each ribosomal protein increases threefold, demonstrating the coordination of the synthesis of the ribosomal proteins. Half that increase is due to a general increase in total protein synthesis; half is due to a differential increase in ribosomal protein synthesis. The latter is abolished by a concentration of actinomycin D which blocks only ribosomal RNA transcription. The results are discussed with reference to a general hypothesis of growth regulation proposed by Stanners et al. (1979).

Abstract
The regulation of cell growth can be achieved at many levels but ultimately the regulatory factors must alter protein synthesis since growing cells always exhibit an increased rate of protein synthesis compared to resting cells. Some studies using growing and nongrowing mammalian cells have shown that the rate of protein synthesis is directly dependent on mRNA content. Other studies have shown that growing the resting cells have similar amounts of mRNA and that protein synthesis is regulated by the proportion of mRNA in polysomes. We have analyzed mRNA content in growing and resting epithelial cells of Xenopus laevis. Quantitation of poly(A)+ mRNA by uniform labeling with 3H-uridine and by 3H-poly(U) hybridization demonstrated a direct relationship between mRNA content and the relative rate of protein synthesis in growing and resting cells. Likewise, after serum stimulation of resting cells the increase in mRNA content closely paralleled the increase in protein synthesis. Our results suggest that control of protein synthesis in growing and nongrowing cells is exerted before the translational level.

Abstract
A single ribosomal protein (Mr, 32,000) becomes phosphorylated during progesterone-induced in vitro maturation of Xenopus laevis oocytes. The protein is identified as 40S ribosomal protein S6. Phosphorylation of S6 is monitored by incorporation of 32Pi and by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. S6 is minimally phosphorylated in unstimulated oocytes. After progesterone treatment, phosphorylation of S6 precedes germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) and is maximal at the time when 50% of the oocytes have undergone GVBD. S6, when maximally phosphorylated, exists in derivatives that correspond to the most highly phosphorylated forms observed in other systems, and the increase in S6 phosphorylation occurs at approximately the same time as the increase in the overall protein synthesis rate reported to occur during oocyte maturation. S6 is also maximally phosphorylated in unfertilized eggs following maturation in vivo. Injection of a partially purified preparation of maturation-promoting factor into immature oocytes induces immediate phosphorylation of S6 and rapidly increases the rate of protein synthesis. Moreover, incubation of ribosomes with this factor and radiolabeled ATP results in labeling of S6. These findings suggest that S6 phosphorylation may be important in the control of protein synthesis during maturation and may also play a role in the mechanism of action of maturation-promoting factor.

Abstract
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and platelet-poor plasma, which lacks PDGF, both induce a rapid increase in the rate of total protein synthesis within quiescent, density-arrested Balb/c-3T3 cells. This stimulation of protein synthesis is associated with an increased aggregation of ribosomes into polyribosomes. Nuclear functions are not required for this response, as demonstrated by the observation that this stimulation of protein synthesis occurs in cells pretreated with actinomycin D and in enucleated cells (cytoplasts). The response to PDGF persists even after PDGF has been removed from the culture medium, but in contrast, when plasma is removed from the medium, polysomes disaggregate and protein synthesis declines. PDGF and plasma do not function synergistically to increase protein synthesis, whereas they do to induce optimum DNA synthesis. Thus stimulation of the translational apparatus may be necessary for the mitogenic response of Balb/c-3T3 cells to growth factors, but it is not by itself sufficient.

Abstract
It has been known that insulin raises the rate of incorporation of [3H]leucine into the total protein of hormone-deficient chick embryo fibroblasts by approximately 1.5-fold. The elevation is not dependent upon the production of new messenger ribonucleic acids (mRNAs). Evidence is now presented in support of the following points: the greater labelling is due to more rapid polypeptide synthesis, not to an increase in the specific activity of leucyl-tRNA; the enhanced synthesis derives largely or entirely from a speeding up of the process of initiation, rather than that of elongation or termination; and the 1.5-fold stimulation is due to the elevated rates of formation of at least many of the fibroblast proteins. The hormone was shown before to stimulate posttranscriptionally and highly preferentially for formation of ribosomal proteins in the resting chick embryo cells. The question has been asked here whether insulin increases the production of total cell ribosomal protein by chemically altering preformed mRNAs. Results obtained by translating messages from deprived and hormone-treated cells in wheat germ and reticulocyte preparations do not support a mechanism involving covalent modification of preformed mRNAs. The observations, coupled with those previously made with inhibitors of translation, lead us to suggest that insulin stimulates protein synthesis in the resting chick embryo cells by activating limiting components of the initiation system. The effects of the hormone are greatest with messages, such as those for the ribosomal proteins, that have low affinities for the limiting initiation components.

Abstract
The synthesis of cytoplasmic proteins from quiescent and serum-stimulated Swiss 3T3 cells was compared by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Four new proteins of Mrs 26,000, 28,000, 45,000, and 47,000 designated N26, N28, N45, and N47, which were not detectable in quiescent cells, appeared 60 min after addition of serum. During the same period, the amount of [35S]methionine incorporated into 10 proteins present in quiescent cells, ranging in Mr from 23,000 to 98,000 and designated Q23-98, increased up to 6-fold, whereas the amount incorporated into three other proteins decreased by a factor of approximately 2. Of the new proteins, N26 was no longer detectable, and the amount of [35S]methionine incorporated into N47 was significantly reduced by 150 min. During this same time, a fifth new protein, N56, appeared, and there was a large increase in the amount of radioactivity incorporated into another protein, Q121. The increases in nine of the proteins were either strongly or completely inhibited by actinomycin D, arguing that the expression of these proteins was under transcriptional control. In contrast, the increases in seven other proteins were unaffected by actinomycin D, suggesting that their expression was under translational control. These proteins will serve as useful markers for determining how cells progress through early lag phase.

Abstract
The effects of fresh medium and serum on protein synthesis in suspension-cultured HeLa cells after growth to high cell density (> 5 x 10(5) cells/ml) were studied. Cells which were resuspended in fresh medium plus serum and grown for 24 hours (control) were compared with cells grown for 2 hours after resuspension (stimulated). The spectrum of proteins being synthesized by control and stimulated cells does not appear to be grossly different; that is, the weight and number average molecular weights of newly synthesized whole-cell protein are about the same in both cultures. Also, no significant differences were observed in the number of ribosomes per polysome or in the fraction of total ribosomes in polysomes. However, the transit times (combined elongation and termination times) were found to differ significantly; the average transit time for control cells was 2.24 minutes, while the average transit time for stimulated cells was 1.26 minutes. (An appendex evaluating the methodology involved in measuring the transit time is included.) In aggreement with the difference in transit time, the absolute rate of protein synthesis in stimulated cells was approximately 1.8 times the rate measured in control cells. These data are taken as evidence that under certain conditions, the rate of elongation and/or termination of polypeptide chains limits the overall rate of translation, and that cells can respond to growth conditions by changing the elongation and/or termination rate of protein synthesis.

Abstract
At 5 min after quiescent cells are induced to enter G1 there is a large increase in the amount of 32P incorporated into 40S ribosomal protein S6. Here we show that changes in the specific activities of 32Pi and [gamma-32P]ATP in stimulated as compared to quiescent cultures do not account for this large increase. Instead, we demonstrate by decreased electrophoretic mobility on two-dimensional polyacrylamide gels that this increase is due to a quantitative increase in the total amount of phosphate incorporated into S6. Furthermore, pulse-chase experiments show that the phosphate that is incorporated into S6 is metabolically stable during at least the first 60 min of induction and that the incorporation of 32P into S6 responds immediately to the replacement of 32Pi by Pi in the medium, in contrast to [gamma-32P]ATP which changes very slowly. Thus, the S6 phosphate donor must be a compartment separate from that of the total cellular ATP.

Abstract
Previous studies on the synthesis and function of the protein synthetic machinery through the growth cycle of normal cultured hamster embryo fibroblasts (HA) were extended here to a series of four different clonal lines of polyoma virus-transformed HA cells. Under our culture conditions, these transformed cells could enter a stationary phase characterized by no mitotic cells, very low rates of DNA synthesis, and arrest in a post-mitotic pre-DNA synthetic state. Cellular viability was initially high in stationary phase but, unlike normal cells, transformed cells slowly lost viability. The rate of protein synthesis in the stationary phase of the transformed cells fell to 25-30% of the exponential rate. Though this reduction was similar to that seen in normal cells, it was accomplished by different means. The specific reduction in the ribosome complement per cell to values below that of any cycling cell seen in normal cells, was not seen in any of the transformed lines. This observation, which implies a loss of normal control of ribisome synthesis through the growth cycle after transformation, was confirmed in normal Chinese hamster embryo fibroblasts and transformed CHO cell lines. Normal control of ribosome synthesis was restored in L-73 and LR-73, growth control revertants of one of the transformed CHO lines. The transformed lines reduced their protein synthetic rates in stationary phase either by a greater reduction in the proportion of functioning ribosomes than that seen in normal cells or by a decrease in the elongation rate of functioning ribosomes; the latter effect was not seen in the normal cells. A model for growth control of normal cells and its derangement in transformed cells is presented.

Abstract
The synthesis of both cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins has been studied as quiescent, serum-deprived Swiss mouse 3T3 cells are stimulated to transit the cell cycle. In serum-arrested cells a 200,000 dalton cytoplasmic protein and a 51,000 dalton nuclear protein were found to be preferentially synthesized. In serum-stimulated cells the first major protein whose synthesis was seen to increase had a molecular mass of 42,000 daltons. This protein also showed the greatest change in synthesis during the transit from G0 to S phase. Its synthesis rose to a maximum 4--6 hr after stimulation and then declined as cells entered S phase. The protein was present in both nuclear and cytoplasmic extracts. It was identified as actin on the basis of its mobility on sodium dodecyl sulfate and isoelectric focusing polyacrylamide gels. Other proteins synthesized preferentially by stimulated cells had molecular masses of 57,000 daltons (cytoplasmic), 33,000 daltons (cytoplasmic and nuclear), and 15,000 daltons (nuclear). The synthesis of the 57,000 and 33,000 dalton proteins increased gradually after stimulation and remained high during S phase. The 15,000 dalton proteins began to be synthesized as cells entered S phase. The preferential synthesis of these proteins provides biochemical markers for the transition from quiescence to proliferation.

Abstract
When CHO cells are incubated under conditions of extreme amino acid starvation, effected by withdrawal of an amino acid from the medium together with genetic or chemical interference with the activity of the corresponding aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, there is a rapid and profound decline in the functional capacity of the protein synthetic machinery. The effect was observed for all amino acids tested including leucine, asparagine, histidine, methionine and glutamine. This decline in protein synthetic potential appears to be due to a progressive permanent inactivation of the specific aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase concerned, as shown by a decline in the amount of cellular, specific aminoacyl-tRNA and a decline in the cell-free enzyme activity, measured after reversal of the starvation conditions. When cells are left for more than several hours under these starvation conditions, they shrink in size, lose viability and eventually disintegrate, with anomalous rapidity. We suggest that the progressive loss of protein synthetic capacity of the cells is the prime cause of these subsequent events. If the starvation conditions are reversed before cell death, regeneration of the protein synthetic potential occurs rapidly but requires protein synthesis itself, implying the existence of strong control mechanisms for cellular aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase activities.

Abstract
The level of poly A+ RNA in growing cultures of human diploid fibroblasts is 1.8-fold times greater than in resting cultures. The level of functional ribosomes in growing cultures is 2.8 times that in resting cultures. Since transit times are similar in both types of cells, it can be concluded that the rate of protein synthesis in growing cultures is 2.8 times that in resting cultures. a reduced efficiency of mRNA translation at the level of initiation in resting cultures is proposed as a probable explanation for the fact that the decrease in protein synthesis rates is greater than the decrease in mRNA levels. This hypothesis is supported by the observations that: (a) poly A+ RNA is associated with smaller polysomes in resting than in growing cells, and (b) cycloheximide treatment of resting cells results in recruitment of nonpolysomal poly A+ RNA into polysomes and a shift of polysomal poly A+ RNA into larger polysomes.

Abstract
The stability of mRNA has been measured in 3T3 cells in the resting and the growing states, and also during the transition from the resting to the growing state. Pulse labled poly (A)+ mRNA chased with uridine and cytidine supplemented growth medium decayed with a half-life of 6.5 hr in the resting state, 26 hr during the transition from the resting to the growing condition, and 18 hr during serum-stimulated growth. The half-life of poly(A)+ mRNA determined by steady state labeling yielded similar results in resting and serum-stimulated 3T3 cells. Thus during the transition from resting to serum-stimulated growth in 3T3 cells poly(A)+ mRNA becomes more stable.
