Rates of incorporation of [4,5-3H]leucine into insulin plus proinsulin, designated (pro)insulin, and total protein in rat pancreatic islets were measured. Glucose stimulates rates of total protein and (pro)insulin biosynthesis, but (pro)insulin biosynthesis was stimulated preferentially. Mannose and N-acetylglucosamine also stimulated (pro)insulin and total protein biosynthesis; inosine and dihydroxyacetone stimulated (pro)insulin biosynthesis specifically. Fructose did not stimulate (pro)insulin biosynthesis when tested alone, but did so in the presence of low concentrations of glucose, mannose or N-acetylglucosamine. Many glucose analogs did not stimulate (pro)insulin biosynthesis. Mannoheptulose inhibited synthesis of (pro)insulin and total protein stimulated by glucose or mannose but not by dihydroxyacetone, inosine or N-acetylglucosamine; phloretin (9 .mu.M) inhibited N-acetylglucosamine-stimulated (pro)insulin biosynthesis preferentially. The same glucose-sensor mechanism may control both insulin release and biosynthesis, and a substrate-site model is suggested. The threshold for stimulation of biosynthesis of (pro)insulin and total protein was lower than that found for glucose-stimulated insulin release; moreover, the biosynthetic response to an elevation of glucose concentration was slower than that found for insulin release. The physiological implication of these findings is discussed. Caffeine and isobutylmethylxanthine, at concentrations known to increase islet 3'':5''-cyclic AMP and potentiated glucose-induced insulin release, were without effect on rates of glucose-stimulated (pro)insulin biosynthesis.
