Four major acidic polypeptides [P], with MW of 88,000, 72,000, 71,000 and 23,000 and minor polypeptides with MW of 110,000, 50,000, 38,000 and 30,000 rapidly accumulated in cultured chick embryo (CE) cells which were exposed for 3 h to the Arg analog canavanine. P110, P88, P71,72, and P23 had unique peptide maps. Evidence of a 27,000 dalton precursor to P23 was obtained. The analog-stimulated proteins were not related to another set of inducible avian polypeptides known as the glucose-regulated proteins. In mammalian cells [human fibroblast FS-4 cells and mouse fibroblast 3T3 cells], the rate of accumulation of several polypeptides, which were similar in size to the avian proteins, sharply increased after canavanine treatment. Proteins with the same electrophoretic mobilities, isoelectric points and peptide maps as the analog-stimulated proteins were expressed at low levels in untreated cultures. To determine the time courses of the canavanine-mediated increases in protein accumulation and the recovery of protein metabolism after analog treatment, radioactively labeled proteins were extracted from CE cells and analyzed on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gels. In cultures exposed to canavanine, the rates of accumulation of P88 and P71,72 increased from basal to new plateau levels in .apprx. 1.5 h, while P23 required about 2.5 h. When added with the analog, actinomycin D and cordycepin blocked the increases in protein accumulation. These inhibitors also blocked the rapid decline in the rates of accumulation of the enhanced proteins which occurred after removal of canavanine. Studies of the metabolic stability of the enhanced proteins indicated that the changes in their accumulation were caused by alterations in their rates of synthesis. Thus, the analog-mediated response fulfilled several of the criteria for inducible eucaryotic gene expression. The amino acid analog p-fluorophenylalanine and the chain-terminating analog of amino acyl-tRNA puromycin stimulated the synthesis of the same set of proteins induced by canavanine. The enhanced synthesis of these proteins appeared to be a cellular response to either the presence of catabolism of abnormal proteins and puromycyl peptides.
