The modes of action of insulin and of inhibitors of protein synthesis on the degradation of labeled cellular proteins have been studied in cultured hepatoma (HTC) cells. Protein breakdown is accelerated upon the deprivation of serum (normally present in theculture medium), and this enhancement is inhibited by either insulin or cycloheximide. An exception is a limited class of rapidly turning over cellu-lar proteins, the degradation of which is not influenced by insulin or cycloheximide. Alternative hypothesesto explain the relationship of protein synthesisto the regulation of pro-tein breakdown, viz., control by the levels of precursors of protein synthesis, regulation by thestate of the ribosome cycle, or requirement for a product of protein synthesis, have been examined. Protein breakdown was not influenced by amino acid deprivation, and measurements of valyl-tRNA levels in HTC cells subjected to variousexperimental
