Yeast ribosomal protein genes are coordinately regulated as a function of cell growth; RNA levels decrease during amino acid starvation but increase following a carbon source upshift. Binding sites for RAP1, a multifunctional transcription factor, are present in nearly all ribosomal protein genes and are associated with growth rate regulation. We show that ribosomal protein mRNA levels are increased twofold in strains that have constitutively high levels of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A [PKA]) activity. The PKA-dependent induction requires RAP1 binding sites, and it reflects increased transcriptional activation by RAP1. Growth-regulated transcription of ribosomal protein genes strongly depends on the ability to regulate PKA activity. Cells with constitutively high PKA levels do not show the transcriptional decrease in response to amino acid starvation. Conversely, in cells with constitutively low PKA activity, ribosomal protein mRNAs levels are lower and largely uninducible upon carbon source upshift. We suggest that modulation of RAP1 transcriptional activity by PKA accounts for growth-regulated expression of ribosomal protein genes.

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae the synthesis of ribosomal proteins declines temporarily after a culture has been subjected to a mild temperature shock, i.e., a shift from 23 to 36 degrees C, each of which support growth. Using cloned genes for several S. cerevisiae ribosomal proteins, we found that the changes in the synthesis of ribosomal proteins parallel the changes in the concentration of mRNA of each. The disappearance and reappearance of the mRNA is due to a brief but severe inhibition of the transcription of each of the ribosomal protein genes, although the total transcription of mRNA in the cells is relatively unaffected by the temperature shock. The precisely coordinated response of these genes, which are scattered throughout the genome, suggests that either they or the enzyme which transcribes them has unique properties. In certain S. cerevisiae mutants, the synthesis of ribosomal proteins never recovers from a temperature shift. Yet both the decline and the resumption of transcription of these genes during the 30 min after the temperature shift are indistinguishable from those in wild-type cells. The failure of the mutant cells to grow at the restrictive temperature appears to be due to their inability to process the RNA transcribed from genes which have introns (Rosbash et al., Cell 24:679-686, 1981), a large proportion of which appear to be ribosomal protein genes.
