Abstract
Transcriptional induction by the mating pheromone alpha-factor was monitored at different stages of the yeast cell cycle. G2/M-phase and pre-Start cells showed strong FUS1 mRNA induction, whereas in post-Start cells the signaling was reduced significantly. This reduction in signaling activity in post-Start cells was correlated with the presence of CLN1 or CLN2 transcripts and was not observed in synchronized cells lacking functional CLN1 and CLN2 genes. Activation of the Cln-Cdc28p kinase by overexpression of CLN2 from the GAL1 promoter strongly reduced FUS1 mRNA induction. CLN1 overexpression had a similar effect when the FAR1 gene, encoding a negative regulator of CLN1/2 function, was deleted. This reduction of pheromone signaling was specific for CLN1 and CLN2, as it was not observed when CLN3 was overexpressed. Inactivation of the Cln-Cdc28p kinase complex by thermal inactivation of temperature-sensitive Cdc28p prevented repression of FUS1 signaling. CLN2 overexpression suppressed the constitutive signaling and division-arrest phenotypes of cells with a disrupted gpa1 gene, indicating that the site of action for repression is downstream of the alpha-subunit (Gpa1p) of the heterotrimeric G protein. The repression at Start of pheromone signaling by Cln1-Cdc28p or Cln2-Cdc28p kinase complexes may contribute to the acquisition of pheromone resistance as cells execute Start.
