1. The isolated microsome fraction of regenerating rat liver was incubated with cell sap, a source of energy and [(35)S]methionine, [(14)C]isoleucine or [(14)C]leucine for different periods of time, and microsomal albumin isolated. 2. The distribution of these isotopes in albumin was determined by separation of tryptic peptides from the protein. Radioactivity was measured in peptides either qualitatively by radioautography or quantitatively by labelling with both (3)H and (14)C. 3. A gradient of radioactivity existed at all times in albumin isolated after incubating microsomes. 4. The shorter the incubation time the fewer the peptides labelled in albumin, but the peptides with highest specific activity after short incubation times corresponded to those with highest specific activities after long incubation times. 5. Leucine released from the C-terminus of albumin had a higher specific activity than the mean specific activity of the remaining leucine residues in albumin. 6. The peptide with the highest specific activity in albumin is probably derived from the C-terminus of the protein. 7. [(14)C]Glutamic acid is incorporated into the N-terminus of albumin after incubating the microsome fraction with this isotopically labelled amino acid, cell sap and a source of energy. The specific activity of the N-terminal glutamic acid under these conditions is less than the mean specific activity of the remaining glutamic acid and glutamine residues in albumin. 8. The results are interpreted as reflecting a sequential synthesis of serum albumin in the isolated microsome fraction of rat liver. The direction of synthesis of albumin is from the N-terminus towards the C-terminus. 9. The bulk of incorporation of radioactive amino acid into albumin in the isolated microsome fraction is due to completion of partially completed, pre-existing peptide and polypeptide chains. A limited synthesis of new chains of albumin does, however, occur.
