The level of35S incorporation into tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) shows a circadian rhythm in cultured chick pineal cells. The TPH oscillation peaks in the early subjective night, persists in constant darkness, and can be phase shifted by light, in parallel to the effect of these treatments on melatonin synthesis. Using quantitative two‐dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, we have examined the regulation of TPH by agents known to affect melatonin synthesis in the chick pineal. We report here that35S incorporation into TPH is induced by cyclic AMP and calcium, and partially inhibited by acute exposure to light. Cyclic AMP also causes a proportional increase in the radiolabeling of one of the TPH isoforms and a concomitant decrease in another isoform, possibly reflecting a change in the phosphorylation state of TPH. This effect is reversed by treatments known to reduce intracellular cyclic AMP levels in the chick pineal. Cyclic AMP thus appears to be involved in both translational and posttranslational processes regulating the expression of TPH in chick pineal cells.
