The synthesis of rRNA and r-proteins was studied in temperature-sensitive topoisomerase mutants of the fisson yeastSchizosaccharomyces pombe. To reduce the severity of heatshock response seen in the wild type strain, slow temperature shift-up of the cultures was used to inactivate the mutant topoisomerases. It was found that the temperature shift caused a large preferential reduction of rRNA synthesis in thetop1top2double mutant. In contrast, no preferential inhibition of rRNA synthesis was observed intop1ortop2single mutants, although some reduction in the total RNA synthesis was observed in thetop2mutant. Thus, as observed withSaccharomyces cerevisiae(Brill et al. 1987), relaxation of supercoiled DNA structures by either topoisomerase I or II appears to be essential for efficient transcription of rRNA genes. Analysis of r-protein synthesis indicated that there were small decreases in the differential synthesis rates of r-proteins after temperature shift-up in thetop1top2mutant, but the observed negative effects on r-protein synthesis was much smaller than that on rRNA synthesis, and degradation of the newly synthesized r-proteins was observed. These observations indicate the apparent lack of tight coupling between rRNA and r-protein synthesis inS. pombeunder these experimental conditions.
