Abstract:
In synchronized Chlorella sorokiniana cells, the NH4+ inducibleNADP-specific glutamate dehydrogenase enzyme (NADP-GDH) accumulatedin a linear manner throughout the first cell cycle. Early inthe following second cell cycle, an increase in its rate ofaccumulation occurred that was proportional to the increasein total cellular DNA in the previous cell cycle. In synchronizedbacterial cells, increases in rate of linear accumulation ofinducible enzymes coincide with the time of replication of theirstructural genes. To determine whether the rate change in NADPGDHaccumulation resulted from a delay in replication of its nuclearstructural gene (gdhN) in fully induced C. sorokiniana cells,the cell cycle timing of replication of this gene was comparedto that of another nuclear gene, nitrate reductase (nia), andof a chloroplast gene, ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase large-subunit(rbcL), in synchronized cells cultured in NH4+ or NO3–(uninduced) medium. The gdhN and nia genes replicated withinthe period of nDNA synthesis and rbcL within the period of ctDNAsynthesis in cells growing in either nitrogen source. Therefore,the delayed rate change in enzyme accumulation results froma process that regulates expression of the gdhN gene after itsreplication. (Received July 16, 1994; Accepted November 28, 1994)
