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. 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.

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.
