Methionyl-transfer ribonucleic acid deficiency during G1 arrest of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

RESUMO
The mesl- mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cease division and accumulate in the G1 interval of the cell cycle when deprived of methionine or shifted from 23 to 36 degrees C in the presence of methionine. Synchronous cell cycle arrest results from a deficiency of charged methionyl-transfer ribonucleic acid (methionyl-tRNAMet) as shown by direct measurement of the in vivo pools of methionine, S-adenosylmethionine, and methionyl-tRNAMet. The deficiency of methionyl-tRNAMet in these cells is the consequence of a lesion in a single gene, mes1. mes1 appears to be the structural gene for the methionyl-tRNA synthetase because some revertants of this mutation exhibited a thermolabile methionyl-tRNA synthetase in vitro. A sufficient hypothesis to explain these and previous results is that the control of cell division by S. cerevisiae in response to nutrient limitation is mediated through aminoacyl-tRNA or subsequent steps in protein biosynthesis.
