Abstract

We have characterized the regulation of spermidine transport in yeast and identified some of the genes involved in its control. Disruption of the SPE2 gene encoding S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase, which catalyzes an essential step in polyamine biosynthesis, upregulated the initial velocity of spermidine uptake in wild-type cells as well as in the polyamine transport-deficient pcp1 mutants. Exogenous spermidine rapidly inactivated spermidine transport with a half-life of approximately 10-15 min via a process that did not require de novo protein synthesis but was accelerated by cycloheximide addition. Conversely, reactivation of spermidine influx upon polyamine deprivation required active protein synthesis. The stability of polyamine carrier activity was increased 2-fold in polyamine-depleted spe2 deletion mutants, indicating that endogenous polyamines also contribute to the down-regulation of spermidine transport. Ligand-mediated repression of spermidine transport was delayed in end3 and end4 mutants that are deficient in the initial steps of the endocytic pathway, and spermidine uptake activity was increased 4- to 5-fold in end3 mutants relative to parental cells, although the stability of the transport system was similar i...Continue Reading
