<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>To study the relation of overall rates of protein degradation in the control of cell growth, we determined if transformation of fibroblasts to tumorigenicity affected their rates of degradation of short‐ and long‐lived proteins. Rates of protein degradation were measured in nontumorigenic mouse Balb/c 3T3 fibroblasts, and in tumorigenic 3T3 cells transformed by different agents. Growing 3T3 cells, and cells transformed with Moloney sarcoma virus (MA‐3T3) or Rous sarcoma virus (RS‐3T3), degraded short‐ and long‐lived proteins at similar rates. Simian virus 40 (SV‐3T3)‐ and benzo(a)pyrene (BP‐3T3)‐transformed cells had slightly lower rates of degradation of both short‐ and long‐lived proteins. Reducing the serum concentration in the culture medium from 10% to 0.5%, immediately caused about a twofold increase in the rate of degradation of long‐lived proteins in 3T3 cells. Transformed lines increased their rates of degradation of long‐lived proteins only by different amounts upon serum deprivation, but none of them to the same extent as did 3T3. Greater differences in the degradation rates of proteins were seen among the transformed cells than between 3T3 cells and some transformed cells. Thus, there was no consistent change in any rate of protein degradation in 3T3 cells due to transformation to tumorigenicity.</jats:p>
