Abstract: | Summary Sporulation of S. cerevisiae MAT/MATa was accompanied by a novel pattern of protein synthesis as shown by the disappearance of some mitotic polypeptides and by the appearance of a new set of meiotic polypeptides. Inhibition of mitochondrial protein synthesis by erythromycin within the 1st h caused the disappearance of several meiotic polypeptides. These meiotic polypeptides were also sensitive to cycloheximide and were localized in the cytosol, demonstrating that they were not mitochondrial translational products. Since erythromycin affected neither protein synthesis nor sporulation in a mitochondrially inherited er
y
mutant, we conclude that mitochondrial protein synthesis is needed for the expression of some nuclear genes during sporulation. |
