The tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) was observed to influence the relative rates of synthesis and degradation of several polypeptides in cultured chick embryo myotubes. The direction of influence partially correlated with whether the polypeptide was uniquely expressed in myotubes or also expressed in its proliferating precursors. The synthesis of all but one of the eight myotube-unique polypeptides examined was inhibited and the degradation of all but two was stimulated. The exceptions were intermediate filament subunits. In contrast, the metabolism of several non-myotube-unique polypeptides was either unaffected or influenced in the opposite direction. A method involving saturation of the intracellular leucine precursor pool with extracellular radioactive leucine suggested that the absolute rate of protein synthesis was only minimally, if at all, affected by the promoter. The effects on protein synthesis were at least partially reversible following removal of the promoter. The changes in synthesis and degradation did not reflect normal maturational changes in cultured myotubes and thus they appeared to be induced by TPA. The data suggest that under some circumstances the rates of synthesis and degradation of several proteins are inversely coupled in the myotube. They also provide a partial explanation for earlier ultrastructural observations that TPA caused a loss of myofilaments and an accumulation of intermediate filaments. Since myotubes occupy the G1(or G0) stage of the cell cycle, and the DNA content of the cultures was not affected by TPA, TPA's effects were not mediated through cell cycle-dependent mechanisms.
