Abstract excerpt
Using various mutant strains and nutritional manipulations, we investigated a potential role for cyclic AMP (cAMP) in the regulation of mitochondrial (mt) gene expression in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In RAS mutants known to have either abnormally low or high cellular levels of this nucleotide, we show that both mt transcription rate and overall mt transcript levels vary directly with cellular cAMP...
