Abstract

Cells harvested from exponentially growing cultures of the budding yeast were fractionated according to their age in the cell cycle by isopycnic-zonal centrifugation in Urografin gradients. Activities of five enzymes were assayed in cell-free extracts, prepared using a French pressure cell. The activities of catalase and three enzymes of the mitochondrial inner membrane (NADH dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome oxidase) doubled during the cell cycle but showed complex oscillatory patterns. Acid phosphatase activity increased continuously during the cell cycle. Fourth-order finite difference analysis of low-temperature difference spectra showed that the levels of three -type cytochromes increased continuously during the cycle. In contrast, amounts of cytochromes , and oscillated over one cycle, with cytochromes and rising to two maxima per cycle in phase with cytochrome oxidase activity. Liganding of redox-active metals, and discontinuous synthesis and proteolysis of apocytochromes are discussed as possible mechanisms for cell cycle-dependent fluctuations in the composition and function of the respiratory chain.
