Aspartate aminotransferase (AAT) activity is studied, employing two different procedures, during early development stages of chicken embryo. ATT activity is steady from pre-streak to the definitive primitive streak stage after which it suddenly increases as growth proceeds. INH or IIH administration in this embryonic system led to almost instantaneous and complete disappearance of AAT activity which could be reversed to 80 percent by treatment with equimolar pyridoxal phosphate. Histochemical studies from the literature support a view that the period of intense differentiation coincides with an increased RNA content. The present study shows more AAT activity per mg wet embryo during the same development stages. Whether this is due to availability of more aspartic acid for pyrimidine is not clear due to possible presence of two AAT activities, the many competing reactions that can use aspartic acid, and in situ conditions during differentiation.
