โœฆ Synopsis

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. During nitrogen starvation the synthesis of Pl dsRNA persists but is accompanied by the degradation of pre-existing molecules. This degradation appears to require the induction of new enzymes and it is likely that the breakdown products are used to enable the cell to complete its division cycle. However, all of the copies of the VLP genome are not degraded in this process, some are conserved and can replenish the amount of Pl dsRNA on return to growth conditions. The controls which must operate on Pl dsRNA synthesis are discussed and compared with those exerted on nuclear RNA synthesis in yeast.

The stringent control of RNA synthesis in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae may be evoked either by starving for a required amino acid or by inhibiting protein synthesis. The response is non-coordinate in that the synthesis of ribosomal and messenger RNA is depressed whereas that of transfer RNA co
