Abstract

Ornithine decarboxylase activity in high density, stationary phase rat hepatoma (HTC) cells in suspension culture has an extremely short half‐life of between 5 and 15 minutes, as measured after inhibiting protein synthesis. Following dilution of these cells into fresh medium there is a large increase in ornithine decarboxylase activity, reaching a peak often several hundred times the initial level at about four hours. At least part of this stimulation is due to an increase in the apparent half‐life of the enzyme, to between 30 and 90 minutes. Evidence is presented that the supply of amino acids can control the turnover of ODC under some conditions. For example supplementing high density cells with glutamine, asparagine, serine, glycine and proline, either singly or together, increases ODC activity and decreases its apparent turnover. The stimulation by amino acids is enhanced by serum.
