Abstract: | When bakers' yeast cells which had been grown anaerobically in galactose were aerated in the presence of 10% glucose, they showed a 40% decrease in 14C]-leucine incorporation into a washed mitochondrial membrane fraction compared with cells which had been aerated in a low glucose medium. The observed catabolite repression of membrane protein synthesis was primarily due to a decrease in cytoplasmic translational activity, but this repression was entirely dependent upon concomitant mitochondrial translation. The inductions of reduced coenzyme Q cytochrome reductase (complex III) and of cytochrome oxidase (complex IV) activities were repressed 30 and 60%, respectively, by aeration of the cells for 8 hours in 10% glucose. The catabolite repression of the formation of these two inner membrane complexes was again shown to be dependent upon concomitant mitochondrial translation. Both the amino acid incorporation and enzyme induction data suggest that catabolite repression of both cytoplasmically and mitochondrially translated mitochondrial membrane proteins is mediated through a mitochondrially translated repressor. |
