Appearance of a new species of ribonucleic acid during sporulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the course of study on ribonucleic acid (RNA) metabolism during sporulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a new species of RNA (20S) was observed in sporulating cells by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The relative content of this RNA to total RNA increased linearly early in sporulation. Labeled adenine was preferentially incorporated into 20S RNA during the early stages of sporulation. The correlation between the physiological and genetic control of sporulation and the synthesis of 20S RNA are discussed.

Methionine-dependent synthesis of ribosomal ribonucleic acid during sporulation and vegetative growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Methionine limitation during growth and sporulation of a methionine-requiring diploid of Saccharomyces cerevisiae causes two significant changes in the normal synthesis of ribonucleic acid (RNA). First, whereas 18S ribosomal RNA is produced, there is no significant accumulation of either 26S ribosomal RNA or 5.8S RNA. The effect of methionine on the accumulation of these RNA species occurs afte...
متن کاملRelationship between sporulation-specific 20S ribonucleic acid and ribosomal ribonucleic acid processing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
The nature and properties of the 20S ribonucleic acid which accumulates only during the sporulation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were examined. The 20S ribonucleic acid (RNA) has a base composition considerably different from ribosomal RNA species and is virtually unmethylated. The 20S RNA did, however, exhibit approximately 70% homology with 18S RNA by RNA-deoxyribonucleic acid filter hybridiza...
متن کاملIsolation and properties of a new species of ribonucleic acid synthesized in sporulating cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
A new species of ribonucleic acid (RNA) was detected in sporulating culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This RNA was isolated by sucrose density gradient centrifugation and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and partially characterized. It has a sedimentation coefficient of approximately 20S and a nucleotide composition distinct from other known RNA species in yeast, and it hybridizes with nuc...
متن کاملStudies on microbial ribonucleic acid. VI. Appearance of methyl-deficient transfer ribonucleic acid during logarithmic growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) that is deficient in methyl groups may be detected in logarithmically growing Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The amount of methyl-deficient tRNA is not constant throughout the logarithmic phase, but is maximal about one generation before the onset of the late growth phase. During this latter phase, the tRNA is fully methylated. The methyl-deficient tRNA is present du...
متن کاملSPO24 Is a Transcriptionally Dynamic, Small ORF-Encoding Locus Required for Efficient Sporulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, meiosis and sporulation are highly regulated responses that are driven in part by changes in RNA expression. Alternative mRNA forms with extended 5' UTRs are atypical in S. cerevisiae, and 5' extensions with upstream open reading frames (uORFs) are even more unusual. Here we characterize the gene YPR036W-A, now renamed SPO24, which encodes a very small (67-amino-aci...
