Saccharomyces cerevisiae growing under repressible conditions (1% of glucose or more) produces a burst of external invertase when shifted to higher temperatures. The secretion of this invertase requires protein synthesis, but was found to be independent of RNA formation. The level of mRNA accumulated and translated was inversely proportional to the glucose present in the growth medium. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that invertase is continuously synthesized both in the presence and absence of glucose, but under repressible conditions is degraded before secretion takes place. 相似文献

The SUC2 gene of yeast (Saccharomyces) encodes two forms of invertase: a secreted, glycosylated form, the synthesis of which is regulated by glucose repression, and an intracellular, nonglycosylated enzyme that is produced constitutively. The SUC2 gene has been cloned and shown to encode two RNAs (1.8 and 1.9 kb) that differ at their 5′ ends. The stable level of the larger RNA is regulated by glucose; the level of the smaller RNA is not. A correspondence between the presence of the 1.9 kb RNA and the secreted invertase, and between the 1.8 kb RNA and the intracellular invertase, was observed in glucose-repressed and -derepressed wild-type cells. In addition, cells carrying a mutation at the SNF1 locus fail to derepress synthesis of the secreted invertase and also fail to produce stable 1.9 kb RNA during growth in low glucose. Glucose regulation of invertase synthesis thus is exerted, at least in part, at the RNA level. A naturally silent allele (suc2°) of the SUC2 locus that does not direct the synthesis of active invertase was found to produce both the 1.8 and 1.9 kb RNAs under normal regulation by glucose. A model is proposed to account for the synthesis and regulation of the two forms of invertase: the larger, regulated mRNA contains the initiation codon for the signal sequence required for synthesis of the secreted, glycosylated form of invertase; the smaller, constitutively transcribed mRNA begins within the coding region of the signal sequence, resulting in synthesis of the intracellular enzyme. 相似文献

In tissue slices from rapidly expanding internodes of sugar cane the vacuolar invertase level is a function of the balance between synthesis and destruction. The enzyme is destroyed in the tissue at an approximately constant rate with a half time of 2 hours. Invertase synthesis is regulated by both auxin and glucose. From studies with inhibitors of protein and RNA synthesis we conclude that auxin alters the rate of synthesis and glucose increases the rate of destruction of messenger RNA required for the production of invertase. 相似文献

Aspergillus nidulans produces an extracellular beta-D-fructofuranoside fructohydrolase (invertase) when grown on a medium containing the beta-fructofuranosides sucrose or raffinose, indicating that synthesis is subject to induction by the substrate. On a growth medium containing sucrose, production was maximal at 15 h in cultures incubated at 28 C degrees. After this time the level of detectable invertase in the cultures declined. A proportion of the enzyme was secreted during the linear growth phase of the fungus. Various sugars were investigated for induction of invertase, but only the two beta-fructofuranosides induced high production levels; with the other sugars, the enzyme was produced only at a low constitutive level. Mycelium grown under repressive conditions (1% glucose), rapidly produced invertase when transferred to sucrose-containing medium. After 80 min the invertase level in these cultures was 26-fold higher than the constitutive level. The repressive effect of other sugars, e.g. glucose and xylose, on invertase production was also demonstrated in this experimental system. 相似文献

Proinsulin biosynthesis is regulated in response to nutrients, most notably glucose. In the short term (=2h) this is due to increases in the translation of pre-existing mRNA. However, prolonging glucose stimulation (24 h) also increases preproinsulin mRNA levels. It has been proposed that secreted insulin from the pancreatic beta-cell regulates its own synthesis through a positive autocrine feedback mechanism. Here the comparative contributions of translation and mRNA levels on the levels of proinsulin biosynthesis were examined in isolated pancreatic islets. Also, the autocrine role of insulin upon four beta-cell functions (insulin secretion, proinsulin translation, preproinsulin mRNA levels, and total protein synthesis) was investigated in parallel. The results showed that proinsulin biosynthesis is regulated, in the short term (1 h), solely at the level of translation, through an approximately 6-fold increase in response to glucose (2.8 mm versus 16.7 mm glucose). In the longer term, when preproinsulin mRNA levels have increased approximately 2-fold, a corresponding increase was observed in the fold response of proinsulin translation to a stimulatory glucose concentration (>/=10-fold). Importantly, neither exogenously added nor secreted insulin were found to play any role in regulating insulin secretion, proinsulin translation, preproinsulin mRNA levels, or total protein synthesis. The results presented here indicate that long term nutritional state sets the preproinsulin mRNA level in the beta-cell at which translation control regulates short term changes in rates of proinsulin biosynthesis in response to glucose, but this is not mediated by any autocrine effect of insulin. 相似文献

The primary function of the exocrine pancreas consists of the synthesis and secretion of several digestive enzymes. It is well established that amylase secretion by rat pancreatic tissue or by isolated acinar cells in culture can be stimulated by the cholinergic agonist carbachol. However, the effect of this secretagogue on enzyme synthesis remains unclear. Some studies demonstrated increases in rates of synthesis, whereas others reported increases in secretion with or without decreases in synthesis. We have evaluated changes in pancreatic amylase mRNA and total RNA after a single injection of carbachol and under fasting conditions. Two approaches in molecular morphology were applied on rat pancreatic tissue: in situ hybridization and RNase A-gold. Both revealed decreases in RNA labeling at the level of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) 5 min after stimulation of secretion and after fasting. Gradual recovery was registered 15 and 30 min after stimulation of secretion. Northern blotting confirmed drastic decreases in amylase mRNA 5 min after stimulation and after fasting. The combination of such different approaches has demonstrated drastic decreases in RNA at the RER level, reflecting declines in rates of synthesis at the translational level under all conditions tested. 相似文献

Mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with defects in sucrose or raffinose fermentation were isolated. In addition to mutations in the SUC2 structural gene for invertase, we recovered 18 recessive mutations that affected the regulation of invertase synthesis by glucose repression. These mutations included five new snf1 (sucrose nonfermenting) alleles and also defined five new complementation groups, designated snf2, snf3, snf4, snf5, and snf6. The snf2, snf4, and snf5 mutants produced little or no secreted invertase under derepressing conditions and were pleiotropically defective in galactose and glycerol utilization, which are both regulated by glucose repression. The snf6 mutant produced low levels of secreted invertase under derepressing conditions, and no pleiotropy was detected. The snf3 mutants derepressed secreted invertase to 10-35% the wild-type level but grew less well on sucrose than expected from their invertase activity; in addition, snf3 mutants synthesized some invertase under glucose-repressing conditions.--We examined the interactions between the different snf mutations and ssn6, a mutation causing constitutive (glucose-insensitive) high-level invertase synthesis that was previously isolated as a suppressor of snf1. The ssn6 mutation completely suppressed the defects in derepression of invertase conferred by snf1, snf3, snf4 and snf6, and each double mutant showed the constitutivity for invertase typical of ssn6 single mutants. In contrast, snf2 ssn6 and snf5 ssn6 strains produced only moderate levels of invertase under derepressing conditions and very low levels under repressing conditions. These findings suggest roles for the SNF1 through SNF6 and SSN6 genes in the regulation of SUC2 gene expression by glucose repression. 相似文献

The hormone, glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP), is an important incretin regulator of the gastrointestinal tract. To investigate whether diet is important for the control of GIP gene expression in the small intestine, GIP messenger RNA (mRNA) levels were measured in rats during fasting and after glucose or fat administration. Ribonuclease protection analyses revealed that glucose and fat administration increased GIP mRNA levels by 4-fold and 2.5-fold, respectively, compared with the control, and that prolonged fasting decreased GIP mRNA levels to 44% of those of control animals. Glucose infusion increased plasma GIP levels and tended to stimulate an increase in the GIP hormone concentration in the mucosa of the small intestine. Administration of fat also stimulated an increase of plasma GIP levels but did not modify tissue GIP concentrations. Prolonged fasting tended to decrease plasma GIP levels, although GIP tissue concentrations did not change. These data suggest that dietary glucose or fat stimulates GIP synthesis and secretion, and that food deprivation causes a decrease in GIP synthesis and secretion. This regulation involves changes at the pretranslational level and is reflected by modifications of GIP mRNA expression. 相似文献

Summary The effect of cycloheximide upon protein synthesis, RNA metabolism, and polyribosome stability was investigated in the parent and in two temperature-sensitive mutant yeast strains defective respectively in the initiation of polypeptide chains and in messenger RNA synthesis. Cycloheximide at high concentrations (100 g/ml) severely inhibits but does not completely stop protein synthesis (Fig. 1); the incorporation of 14C-amino acids into polyribosome-associated nascent polypeptide chains continues at a slow but measurable rate (Figs. 2 and 3). Polyribosome structures are stable in the parent strain at 36° whether or not cycloheximide is present (Fig. 5). However, in Mutant ts- 136, a mutant defective in messenger as well as in stable RNA production, polyribosomes decay at the restrictive temperature (36° C) at the same rate whether or not cycloheximide is present (Fig. 5). Thus the maintenance of polyribosome structures is dependent upon the continued synthesis of messenger RNA even under conditions of extremely slow polypeptide chain elongation. In mutant ts- 187, a mutant defective in the initiation of polypeptide chains, all of the polyribosomes decay to monoribosomes within 2 minutes after a shift to the restrictive temperature; cycloheximide completely prevents this decay demonstrating that this mutant is capable of continued messenger RNA synthesis at 36° C. Consistent with these observations is the fact that a newly synthesized heterogeneously sedimenting RNA fraction continues to enter polyribosomes in the presence of cycloheximide whereas the entrance of newly synthesized ribosomal RNA is severely inhibited (Figs. 7, 8, 9). The decay or lack of decay of polyribosomes at the restrictive temperature is, therefore, a rapid and discriminating test for the analysis of mutants defective in macromolecule synthesis. Mutants which exhibit a decay of polyribosomes in the presence of cycloheximide are likely to be defective directly or indirectly in the synthesis of messenger RNA whereas mutants in which decay is prevented or slowed by cycloheximide are likely to be defective in some factor required for the association of ribosomes and messenger RNA. 相似文献

Steady state analysis of mitochondrial RNA after growth of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae under catabolite repression and derepression 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
The steady state levels of mitochondrial rRNAs, 5 tRNAs, the 9 S RNA, and the RNA products from the genes coding for subunits 6 and 9 of the ATP synthase, cytochrome b, and subunit 1 of cytochrome oxidase have been determined after growth of yeast under conditions of respiratory repression or derepression. The analysis indicates that the mitochondrial rRNAs are present in 2000 or 9000 copies/cell in repressed or derepressed yeast, respectively. The levels of the other RNAs also differed to a similar extent, with the exception of the level of the tRNAfMet which differs by only 1.7-fold. The levels of the individual protein coding RNAs varied from 480 copies/cell for the Oli-1 RNA to 100 copies/cell for the Oli-2 RNA under derepressive conditions and from 130 copies/cell to 33 copies/cell for the same RNAs in glucose repressive conditions. The levels of the tRNAs varied even more markedly, ranging from 4200 copies/cell for the tRNAPhe to 240 copies/cell for the tRNACys after growth in derepressive conditions and from 800 copies/cell for the tRNAfMet to 30 copies/cell for the tRNACys of glucose repressed yeast. These results indicate that glucose repression uniformly decreases the levels of the individual mitochondrial RNAs studied. This decrease is related to a lower synthesis of mitochondrial RNA in the glucose repressed cells as compared to derepressed cells. 相似文献

Plant enzyme synthesis: Hormonal regulation of invertase and peroxidase synthesis in sugar cane 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Summary Using sugar-cane internodal tissue in which RNA synthesis was ratelimiting for invertase of peroxidase synthesis, measurements were made of enzymeforming-capacity after blocking further RNA synthesis with actinomycin D or 6-methylpurine. In this way it was possible to determine whether added auxin (naphthaleneacetic acid) or gibberellic acid (GA3) affected steps prior or subsequent to synthesis of the RNA fractions specifically required for synthesis of either enzyme. Both auxin and GA3 increased the enzyme-forming-capacity for invertase but not for peroxidase. The effects of the two hormones are interpreted as causing stabilization of mRNA for invertase.Abscisic acid (ABA) increased the rate of synthesis of invertase but not peroxidase. ABA did not change the rate of loss of invertase when peptide-bond formation was blocked with cycloheximide, but stimulated its synthesis when RNA synthesis was blocked with 6-methyl purine. Hence, the site of action of ABA is subsequent to invertase-mRNA formation and prior to invertase destruction.Kinetin had no short-term effects when RNA synthesis was limiting for invertase production, and does not appear to directly modulate mRNA synthesis or stabilization, or amino-acid-polymerization steps. In treatments longer than 5 hours, kinetin inhibited synthesis of all three enzymes studied, so that its effect on enzyme synthesis in this tissue appears to be unspecific.Abbreviations used throughout text ABA
