We have analysed the effect of transcription inhibitors on the polysomal localization of 5' terminal oligopyrimidine (TOP-) mRNAs. It is known that, in vertebrates, the translation of this group of mRNAs is regulated according to the growth status of the cell. Mitogenic stimulation of quiescent cells induces a rapid recruitment of TOP mRNAs from translationally inactive light messenger ribonucleoprotein particles to polysomes. It was found that administration of transcription inhibitors to resting cells causes a similar collective translational activation of TOP mRNAs, without affecting global translation. A number of transcription inhibitors were tested in amphibian and mammalian cultured cells. Actinomycin D (act D), cordycepin, and 5, 6-dichloro-1-beta-D-ribofuranosylbenzimidazole caused a similar activation whereas alpha-amanitin or low doses of act D did not induce the translational response. Concentrations of act D sufficient to induce TOP mRNA translation also induce 40S ribosomal protein S6 kinases 1 (S6K1) activation. Moreover at these concentrations of act D increased phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 was also observed, indicating the involvement of FRAP/mTOR. Consistent with this observation, pretreatment of resting cells with rapamycin suppresses the activation of TOP mRNA translation induced by act D. These results indicate that the effect of act D on translation is mediated by the S6Ks through FRAP/mTOR.
