RESUMO
Responses of the yeast genes encoding 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase, HMG1 and HMG2, to in vivo changes in heme concentrations were investigated. Expression of the genes was determined by direct measurement of the mRNA transcribed from each gene, by direct assay of the enzyme activity encoded by each gene, and by measurement of the expression of lacZ fusions to the control regions of each gene. These studies indicated that expression of HMG1 was stimulated by heme, whereas expression of HMG2 was repressed by heme. The effect of heme on HMG1 expression was mediated by the HAP1 transcriptional regulator and was independent of HAP2. Thus, the genes encoding the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase isozymes join a growing list of gene pairs that are regulated by heme in opposite ways.
