Abstract

The effect of inhibitors of protein synthesis (cycloheximide, CHI), glycolysis (iodoacetamide, IAA), and oxidative phosphorylation (antimycin A, ANM) on inorganic phosphate (polyP) synthesis during the first 0.5 h of their hypercompensation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae VKM Y-l173 grown on 2% glucose-containing media at low (hypoxia) or high aeration rates or in the presence of 1 vol % ethanol under high aeration conditions was studied. PolyP accumulation was highest in the medium with glucose under hypoxia; lower, with glucose at high aeration; and lowest, in the medium with ethanol. CHI had a small effect on the total polyP level but significantly stimulated ATP accumulation, irrespective of the culture growth conditions. The low-polymer acid-soluble polyP1 were synthesized most actively by the cells grown on glucose under hypoxia, alkali-soluble polyP3 were synthesized at en hanced aeration, and the most hig-molecular fraction, polyP5, was actively accumulated along with polyP3 at cultivation on ethanol. Regardless of the growth conditions, CHI inhibited accumulation of polyP4, the synthesis of which is associated with the synthesis of mannoproteins. IAA and ANM largely inhibited synthesis of all fractions at yeast growth under hypoxia and on ethanol, respectively. The results as a whole demonstrate the dependence of polyP formation on the main energy-generating cell processes and, at the same time, the absence of direct dependence of their synthesis on ATP concentration in Saccharomyces cerevisiae VKM Y-l 173.
