## Abstract A bovine serum gradient was used to separate ascites tumor cells into fractions according to size and position in the cell cycle. Cells from different fractions were treated with RNase or tween 80, and the influence of this treatment on protein synthesis, membrane permeability and dry m

Abstract
The addition of glucose to ELD and ELT/B1 mouse ascites tumor cell suspensions caused a 2.3βfold increase in the phosphorylation state ratio, (ATP)/(ADP)(Pi), because of a decrease in the intracellular Pi concentration. The addition of glucose to these cell suspensions has been reported by Chance and Hess ('59) to cause an increase in the steady state reduction of cytochrome b and an increase in the steady state oxidation of cytochrome c. On a quantitative basis these two independent measurements suggest that a near equilibrium exists between the oxidationβreduction state of the mitochondrial electron carriers and the reactions of ATP synthesis (as expressed by the phosphorylation state ratio) both before and after glucose addition. We conclude that the mechanism of the inhibition of respiration by glycolysis (the Crabtree effect) is a decrease in the rate of electron transport caused by the mass action effect of the elevated phosphorylation state ratio.

The occurrence of a Crabtree effect in HeLa cells was detected. Some properties of pyruvate kinase (PK) were also evaluated. Hexose phosphate, triose-phosphate and phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) significantly decreased the oxygen consumption of digitonin-permeabilized HeLa cells, which were oxidizing suc
The effect of extracellular Pi and arsenate on Pi-transport in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells has been studied. Pi-transport can be described by Michaelis-Menten kinetics; the maximal flux equal to 44 mmoles (kg cell water)-' hour-' and K m equal to 3.3 X 1 0 -4 M. Arsenate is a competitive inhibitor o
