Abstract
Following protein synthesis inhibition in cycloheximide growth-arrested yeast cells, the rates of tRNA and 5 S RNA synthesis decrease with apparent half-times of about 20 and 10 min, respectively. This effect is mimicked by extracts of treated cells, and the impairment of tRNA gene transcription activity that is observed in vitro parallels the in vivo inactivation of RNA polymerase III transcription. As revealed by experiments in which partially purified class III transcription factors were singly added to extracts of treated cells, only the activity of the multiprotein transcription factor TFIIIB is severely impaired after 3 h of cycloheximide treatment. Similar assays carried out in an in vitro transcription system in which TFIIIB activity was reconstituted by a combination of the TATA box-binding protein (TBP), the 70-kDa component TFIIIB70, plus a partially purified fraction known as B" have shown that the latter two components are both necessary and sufficient to restore control levels of transcription. Their activity, but not TBP activity, is considerably reduced in extracts of treated cells. TFIIIB70 and a component of fraction B" thus appear to be the selective targets of the down-regulation of polymerase III transcription that is brought about by cycloheximide. A substantial depletion of the TFIIIB70 polypeptide was detected by Western immunoblot analysis of extracts derived from cycloheximide growth-arrested cells, indicating that the inactivation of this TFIIIB component results primarily from its enhanced destabilization under conditions of protein synthesis inhibition.
