Résumé : 1. 1. The uptake of [8-14C]adenine and [2-14C]phenylalanine into isolated calfthymus nuclei have been shown to be inhibited by X-irradiation. 2. 2. X-irradiation of isolated calf-thymus nuclei inhibited the uptake of [14C]adenine into the nuclear RNA while the uptake into the DNA was unaffected. 3. 3. X-irradiation of isolated rat liver nuclei and/or microsomes inhibited the uptake of [14C]adenine by the nuclei. u.v. irradiation of the nuclei and/or the microsomes, in this system, gave rise to an inhibition of adenine uptake which was reversed by incubating in daylight. 4. 4. X-irradiation of isolated rat-liver nuclei and/or mitochondria inhibited the uptake of [14C]phenylalanine by the nuclei. u.v. irradiation of the nuclei and/or the microsomes, in this system, gave rise to an inhibition of phenylalanine uptake which was reversed by incubating in daylight. © 1959.
