Rat embryo fibroblasts grown in Eagle''s minimal essential medium with 10% serum were labeled with L-[14C]leucine. After a 24 h cold chase, rates of proteolysis were evaluated by measuring the appearance of trichloroacetic acid-soluble 14C in the media. Cells remaining in minimal essential medium with 10% serum (basal) showed a proteolysis rate of 1% per h, whereas cells placed in minimal essential medium alone (serum-deficient) showed a stimulation of proteolysis of 3-4% per h. This enhanced proteolysis was transitory, occurring only for the 1st 4-8 h after cells were placed in the serum-deficient media. Vinblastine 10-5 M inhibited the enhanced proteolysis 40% but had no effect on basal proteolysis. Control experiments showed no detectable hydrolysis of extracellular proteins, nor did vinblastine affect the rate of protein synthesis. Basal and enhanced proteolysis may have at least partially distinct mechanisms in the cell; only enhanced proteolysis may involve microtubules.
