The asymmetric localization of cell fate determinants results in asymmetric cell cycle control in budding yeast. In budding yeast, asymmetric cell division yields a larger mother and a smaller daughter cell, which transcribe different genes due to the daughter-specific transcription factors Ace2 and Ash1. Cell size control at the Start checkpoint has long been considered to be a main regulator of the length of the G1 phase of the cell cycle, resulting in longer G1 in the smaller daughter cells. Our recent data confirmed this concept using quantitative time-lapse microscopy. However, it has been proposed that daughter-specific, Ace2-dependent repression of expression of the G1 cyclin CLN3 had a dominant role in delaying daughters in G1. We wanted to reconcile these two divergent perspectives on the origin of long daughter G1 times. We quantified size control using single-cell time-lapse imaging of fluorescently labeled budding yeast, in the presence or absence of the daughter-specific transcriptional regulators Ace2 and Ash1. Ace2 and Ash1 are not required for efficient size control, but they shift the domain of efficient size control to larger cell size, thus increasing cell size requirement for Start in daughters. Microarray and chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments show that Ace2 and Ash1 are direct transcriptional regulators of the G1 cyclin gene CLN3. Quantification of cell size control in cells expressing titrated levels of Cln3 from ectopic promoters, and from cells with mutated Ace2 and Ash1 sites in the CLN3 promoter, showed that regulation of CLN3 expression by Ace2 and Ash1 can account for the differential regulation of Start in response to cell size in mothers and daughters. We show how daughter-specific transcriptional programs can interact with intrinsic cell size control to differentially regulate Start in mother and daughter cells. This work demonstrates mechanistically how asymmetric localization of cell fate determinants results in cell-type-specific regulation of the cell cycle. Asymmetric cell division is a universal mechanism for generating differentiated cells. The progeny of such divisions can often display differential cell cycle regulation. This study addresses how differential regulation of gene expression in the progeny of a single division can alter cell cycle control. In budding yeast, asymmetric cell division yields a bigger ‘mother’ cell and a smaller ‘daughter’ cell. Regulation of gene expression is also asymmetric because two transcription factors, Ace2 and Ash1, are specifically localized to the daughter. Cell size has long been proposed as important for the regulation of the cell cycle in yeast. Our work shows that Ace2 and Ash1 regulate size control in daughter cells: daughters ‘interpret’ their size as smaller, making size control more stringent and delaying cell cycle commitment relative to mother cells of the same size. This asymmetric interpretation of cell size is associated with differential regulation of the G1 cyclin CLN3 by Ace2 and Ash1, at least in part via direct binding of these factors to the CLN3 promoter. CLN3 is the most upstream regulator of Start, the initiation point of the yeast cell cycle, and differential regulation of CLN3 accounts for most or all asymmetric regulation of Start in budding yeast mother and daughter cells.
