It has been shown that in bacteria, besides specific regulatory mechanisms, the synthesis of aminoacid biosynthetic enzymes is also controlled by the endogenous aminoacid pool. The latter regulates the intracellular level of ppGpp, a positive effector of RNA messenger transcription. A similar regulatory control exists in yeast but does not appear to involve the same general effector. This was established by the observation that derepression of the enzymes belonging to several aminoacid biosynthetic pathways follows aminoacid starvation or tRNA discharging. We now report the repression of the arginine pathway by the total aminoacid pool. New mutations affecting the repressibility of the arginine enzymes as well as enzymes belonging to other aminoacid biosyntheses, when cells are grown in the presence of an excess of aminoacids, were identified.
