Yeast cell growth and cell divison are normally coordinated. The mechanism of this coordination was examined by dissociating the 2 processes. Division was arrested with the use of temperature-sensitive cell division cycle mutants, and the effects of this arrest on growth were observed. Growth was limited by nutritional deprivation and the effects of this limitation n division were observed. Mutants blocked at various stages of the cell cycle continued growth, as evidenced by increases in cell volume, mass and protein content. Cells that initiated cell cycles completed their cycles, and arrested in G1 even when growth was severely restricted. Under these conditions the daughter cells produced were abnormally small. Such abnormally small cells did not initiate new cell cycles (i.e., did not bud or complete any of the 3 known gene-controlled steps (cdc28, cdc4 or cdc7 in G1) after nutrients were restored until growth to a critical size occurred. Abnormally large cells were prepared by arresting division temporarily with the appropriate mating pheromone; when such cells were allowed to bud, the buds produced were much smaller than the mother cells when cytokinesis occurred. The normal coordination of cell growth with cell division may be a consequence of the following two relationships: growth, rather than progress through the DNA-division cycle, was normally rate-limiting for cell proliferation; a specific early event in G1, at or before the event controlled by the cdc28 gene product, could not be completed until a critical size was attained.
