CBP1is a yeast nuclear gene encoding a mitochondrial protein that stabilizes the 5′ end of cytochromeb (cob)pre-mRNA. Cytochromebis the only mitochondrially synthesized component of the respiratory chain complex III. Since the nuclearly encoded subunits of this complex are regulated at the transcriptional level by catabolite repression, we hypothesized thatCBP1might be similarly regulated. To test the idea that transcriptional regulation ofCBP1could coordinate an increase in cytochromebmRNA stability with an increase in nuclearly encoded complex III subunit production, we characterized the change in abundance ofCBP1mRNA during derepression on a nonfermentable carbon source. Poly(A)+RNA from derepressed yeast cells was examined by Northern (RNA) analyses with cRNA probes fromCBP1.Both 2.2- and 1.3-kilobase (kb) transcripts were detected. The 1.3-kb mRNA lacked approximately 900 nucleotides of the 3′ end of the 2.2-kb mRNA, which encodes the carboxyl-terminal 250 amino acid residues of theCBP1coding sequence. Northern analyses of RNA isolated from deletion-insertion mutants ofCBP1and from strains that overexpressCBP1mRNA demonstrated that both mRNAs were transcribed from theCBP1gene. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the levels of the twoCBP1mRNAs were reciprocally regulated by the carbon source in the growth medium. This is the first description of a yeast gene from which two transcripts that can encode proteins with distinctly different coding properties are generated by alternative 3′-end formation.
