The role of protein degradation in cellular proliferation was investigated by measurements of the rates of degradation of labile and stable proteins for 3 cell types under various growth conditions. The rate of protein degradation is a relatively invariant parameter as it did not change after strong inhibition of protein synthesis with cycloheximide or histidinol. It was the same in both exponential and stationary phase, and it did not correlate with the presence or absence of malignant transformation. Using 3 different cell types [hamster, rat, and clonal lines of hamster transformed by polyoma virus] with widely differing division rates, the rate of cell division and DNA synthesis (in %/h) is precisely equal to the rate of protein accumulation (in %/h), i.e., to the rate of protein synthesis minus the rate of protein degradation. Division rates between the different cell types were determined chiefly by the rate of protein synthesis but at low division rates, the rate of protein degradation could represent a large component of the protein accumulation rate.
