A report showing that amino acids for de-novo protein synthesis are derived from the degradation of preexisting proteins, whereas nascent and newly formed polypeptides remained largely protected from proteolysis. Proteasome inhibition during nutrient deprivation caused rapid amino acid depletion and marked impairment of translation, identifying the ubiquitin-proteosome pathway as a critical player with respect to cell survival during starvation.
