Regulation of the yeast CYT1 gene encoding cytochrome c1 by HAP1 and HAP2/3/4.

Department of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge 02139-4307.

ABSTRACT

Mitochondrial biogenesis requires the coordinate induction of hundreds of genes that reside in the nucleus. We describe here a study of the regulation of the nuclear-encoded cytochrome c1 of the b-c1 complex. Unlike cytochrome c, which is encoded by two genes, CYC1 and CYC7, c1 is encoded by a single gene, CYT1. The regulatory region of the CYT1 promoter contains binding sites for the HAP1 and HAP2/3/4 transactivators that regulate CYC1. The binding of HAP1 to the CYT1 element was studied in detail and found to differ in two important respects from binding to the CYC1 element. First, while CYC1 contains two sites that bind HAP1 cooperatively, CYT1 has a single high-affinity site. Second, while the CYT1 site and the stronger HAP1-binding site of CYC1 share a large block of homology, the HAP1 footprints at these sites are offset by several nucleotides. We discuss how these differences in HAP1 binding might relate to the difference in the biology of cytochrome c and cytochrome c1.
