Abstract
Sodium butyrate, which blocks the cell cycle of many cell types in the G1 phase, strongly inhibits the synthesis of the transformation related, 53 kDa protein in 3T6 fibroblasts but much less so in SV 40 transformed mouse cells. By several criteria, this effect of the fatty acid appears to be indirect; p 53 synthesis takes place several hours after the butyrate‐sensitive step in G1. The results are discussed in the light of a putative role of p 53 in growth control.Keywords
