β¦ Synopsis
Uptake and incorporation into proteins of an externally supplied amino acid were followed during early meiosis in yeast. Under conditions optimal for development, an insufficient permeability of the cell leads to an incorporation pattern which reflects the changes in the activity of the amino acid transporting system rather than those in protein synthesis. A more correct picture of protein synthesis during early meiosis is obtained by the use of a mutant with an enhanced level of amino acid uptake.

## Abstract Resting lymphocytes are in the G~0~ phase of the cell cycle. Upon activation by PHA, they progress into G~1~ with accompanying increased protein and RNA synthesis, initiate DNA synthesis and divide. We have studied the kinetics of inhibition of macromolecular synthesis during activation
Diploid human fibroblasts in culture (WI 38) were allowed to reach a stationary phase and were then stimulated to reenter DNA synthesis and cell division by addition of serum to the culture medium. The rate of protein synthesis increased during the first hours after addition of serum reaching at thr
