The incorporation of uniformly labeled L-lysine-C14 into the normal and regenerating rat liver, into Novikoff hepatoma histones, and into acidic nuclear proteins was studied. In rat liver, different histone fractions incorporate labeled lysine to a different extent. Such differences become less obvious in regenerating liver, and they are even less so in Novikoff hepatoma. In the hepatoma cells the ratio of the biosynthesized acidic nuclear proteins to histones was altered.
