1. Evidence is presented that cyclic AMP inhibits the incorporation of l-[4,5-3H]leucine into protein in a cell-free system from rat liver. This inhibition occurs after aminoacyl-tRNA formation. 2. Microsomal fractions, isolated after the incubation of postmitochondrial supernatant with cyclic AMP and ATP, show a diminished ability to synthesize protein. Both cyclic AMP and ATP are required for this effect. 3. A possible physiological role for the anti-anabolic action of cyclic AMP is discussed in terms of the control of gluconeogenesis.

Cyclic AMP causes an age-dependent inhibition of protein synthesis in rat liver. The onset of inhibition is about 10—12 days after birth. The developmental response to cyclic AMP is associated with a change in the microsomal component of the protein-synthesizing system.

1. The inhibition of incorporation of 14C-labelled amino acids into protein of whole cells by phenylalanine has been reproduced in a cell-free system. In both cases only the l-isomer was inhibitory. 2. The effect of phenylalanine on incorporation of [14C]leucine and [14C]lysine into protein was different in both whole cells and cell-free systems. 3. In whole cells inhibition of incorporation of leucine at 2·5μg./ml. was very rapid, but when the concentration was increased to 100μg./ml. the inhibition was not apparent for about 1hr. The kinetics of inhibition of lysine was the same at both these concentrations and was similar to that found with leucine at 100μg./ml. 4. Neither a lower specific radioactivity of the two amino acids in the pool nor a decrease in their pool size could be consistently related with inhibition of protein synthesis. 5. In the cell-free system l-phenylalanine inhibited the incorporation of leucine but not of lysine. 6. Charging of transfer RNA by leucine was markedly decreased in the presence of phenylalanine, whereas charging of transfer RNA by lysine was not.
