The effect of administration of biotin to biotin-deficient rats on protein biosynthesis was studied. Biotin treatment resulted in stimulation by more than twofold of amino acid incorporation into protein, both in vivo and in vitro in rat liver, pancreas, intestinal mucosa and skin. Analysis of the products of amino acid incorporation into liver proteins in vivo and in vitro indicated that the synthesis of some proteins was stimulated more than twofold, but others were not stimulated at all. This indicates a specificity in the stimulation of protein synthesis mediated by biotin.

1. Aflatoxin and the pyrrolizidine alkaloid retrorsine inhibited the incorporation of labelled amino acids into rat liver and plasma proteins in vivo. Inhibition was greater and detected earlier with retrorsine (1hr.) than with aflatoxin (3hr.). 2. Both toxins affected the liver ribosomal aggregates, causing increases in the proportion of monomers plus dimers. The effect of retrorsine was greater than that of aflatoxin. 3. Incorporation of labelled amino acids into proteins of cell-free preparations of liver from rats treated with aflatoxin was lower than in control preparations. The main site of inhibition appeared to be the ribosomes. 4. Both toxins inhibited the incorporation of orotate into liver nuclear RNA 1hr. after administration.
