Mcm1 is a multifunctional protein which plays a role both in the initiation of DNA replication and in the transcriptional regulation of diverse genes inSaccharomyces cerevisiae. Themcm1-1mutation results in instability of minichromosomes and α-specific sterility. Second-site suppressors that restore minichromosome stability but not fertility to themcm1-1mutant were isolated. Two of the suppressors,pgm1-1andpgm1-2, are mutant alleles ofPGM1which encodes a glycolytic enzyme, phosphoglycerate mutase. We show that thepgm1-1mutation suppresses the minichromosome maintenance (Mcm) defect by increasing the protein activity or level of Mcm1-1 posttranscriptionally. This increase in the intracellular Mcm1-1 activity is sufficient to suppress the Mcm defect but only minimally suppresses the mating defect. Mutations in genes encoding other glycolytic enzymes, such aseno2::URA3, can also suppress the Mcm phenotype ofmcm1-1. Suppression by these glycolytic enzyme mutations correlates with a reduced rate of glycolysis rather than a reduced rate of cell growth. This study suggests that in response to changes in their nutritional states yeast cells may attain homeostasis by modulating the activity of global regulators like Mcm1, which plays a central role in the regulation of energy-expensive anabolic processes.
