✦ Synopsis

A study has been made of the effects of a casamino acids shift-up on a prototrophic strain of yeast growing under conditions of ammonium repression. The shift-up produced an increase in growth rate some 120 min after the addition of amino acids to the medium. This growth rate increase was slightly preceded by an increase in the rate of accumulation of DNA. In contrast, the rate of accumulation of protein increased immediately and that of RNA 15-20 min after the shift. RNA was initially accumulated at a rate greater than that required to sustain the new steady state. This was shown to be due to an increase in the rate of synthesis of the rRNA species derived from the 35S precursor. The rate of synthesis of 5S rRNA and of tRNA increased much later and to a lesser extent than that of the 35S derived species. The implications of these results for general theories of regulation of RNA synthesis are discussed.

A study has been made of the regulation of the synthesis of Pl double-stranded (ds) RNA, the genome of the yeast virus-like particle. When yeast protein synthesis is prevented by starvation for a required amino acid or by addition of cycloheximide, the rate of Pl dsRNA synthesis is reduced markedly.
