The amount of glucose-repressible alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) is regulated by the amount of its functional mRNA. ADHII protein was detected by a radioimmune assay and differentiated from ADHI, the classical ADH isozyme, by limited proteolysis with Staphylococcus aureus protease. When yeast containing the wild-type alleles for ADR2 (the ADHII structural locus) and for ADR1 (its positive regulatory gene) were pulse-labeled with [35S]methionine during derepression, radioactive label accumulated in the antibody-precipitated ADHII coterminously with the appearance of ADHII activity. The kinetics of functional ADHII mRNA appearance during derepression in this strain were shown to be the same as those for ADHII protein synthesis in vivo when RNA, extracted from derepressed cells, was translated in a wheat germ cell-free translation system. The role of the positive regulatory gene, ADR1, in ADHII expression was analyzed using 2 strains mutated at that locus. Yeast containing the adr1-1 allele are incapable of derepressing ADHII activity. When this strain was pulse-labeled with [35S]methionine during derepression, approximately 1/10 to 1/20 the level of ADHII protein synthesis was detected as in the wild-type strain. When RNA was extracted during derepression from cells containing the adr1-1 allele and translated in a wheat germ cell-free system, little functional ADHII mRNA was present. The role of the ADR1 gene was further analyzed using a strain containing the ADR1-5c allele, which allows constitutive synthesis of ADHII activity. In this strain during glucose repression. ADHII protein synthesis and amount of functional mRNA were at levels comparable to those found for the wild-type strain after complete derepression. Similar kinetics of ADHII protein synthesis and of mRNA accumulation during derepression were observed in the strain carrying the ADR1-5c allele when compared to that carrying the ADR1 allele, but the absolute amounts were greater by 3- to 4-fold in cells containing the ADR1-5c allele. The ADR1 gene apparently acts to increase the level of functional ADHII mRNA during derepression.
