1. The effects of graded doses of oestradiol-17beta and actinomycin D, administered separately or together, on the amino acid-incorporation activity in vitro and the cytoplasmic concentration in vivo of uterine polyribosomes are described. Preparations of polyribosomes isolated from uteri of ovariectomized adult rats were determined for cytoplasmic concentration in vivo and assayed for [(14)C]leucine-incorporation activity in the cell-free system, exactly as described by Teng &amp; Hamilton (1967b). 2. A minimal dose of 10mug of oestradiol-17beta administered for 10h was found to increase, by about 100%, both the amino acid-incorporation activity in vitro and the cytoplasmic concentration in vivo of the polyribosomes. A minimal dose of 250mug of actinomycin D administered for 10h was found to inhibit, by about 50%, the incorporation activity in vitro of the polyribosomes. All doses of the inhibitor administered for 10h failed to alter the cytoplasmic concentration in vivo of the polyribosomes. 3. A dose of 10mug of oestradiol-17beta restored to the control value the inhibitory effect of a dose of either 50 or 125mug of actinomycin D on the activity in vitro of the polyribosomes, at 10h after treatment with the inhibitor and the hormone. In these experiments, there was an increase of 60-100% in the cytoplasmic concentration in vivo of the polyribosomes. 4. A dose of 125mug of actinomycin D, administered to animals along with 10mug of oestradiol-17beta for 6-36h, abolished the hormone-induced enhancement of the incorporation activity in vitro, but did not prevent an increase of about 200% in the cytoplasmic concentration in vivo of the polyribosomes. However, treatment with 750mug of the inhibitor abolished both stimulatory effects of the hormone. 5. The results reported indicate that the stimulatory effects of oestradiol-17beta in vivo on the number and activity of the cytoplasmic polyribosomes in the uterus of the ovariectomized rat have different sensitivities to actinomycin D, but the primary molecular mechanisms responsible for the results are unknown. The major conclusion drawn is that the formation and appearance in the cytoplasm of newly formed polyribosomes are important features of the early action of oestrogen in the uterus.
