Abstract

Oxygen is an important environmental regulator for the transcription of several genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but it is not yet clear how this yeast or other eukaryotes actually sense oxygen. To begin to address this we have examined the effects of oxygen concentration on the expression of several nuclear genes (CYC1, CYC7, COX4, COX5a, COX5b, COX6, COX7, COX8, and COX9) for proteins of the terminal portion of the respiratory chain. COX5b and CYC7 are hypoxic genes; the rest are aerobic genes. We have found that the level of expression of these genes is determined by oxygen concentration per se and not merely the presence or absence of oxygen and that each of these genes has a low oxygen threshold (0. 5-1 microM O2) for expression. For some aerobic genes (COX4, COX5a, COX7, COX8, and COX9) there is a gradual decline in expression between 200 microM O2 (air) and their oxygen threshold. Below this threshold expression drops precipitously. For others (COX5a and CYC1) the level of expression is nearly constant between 200 microM O2 and their threshold and then drops off. The hypoxic genes COX5b and CYC7 are not expressed until the oxygen concentration is below 0.5 microM O2. These studies have also revealed that COX5a and CYC1...Continue Reading
