Abstract
Although key genetic regulators of early meiotic transcription in Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been well characterized, the activation of meiotic genes is still poorly understood in terms of cis-acting DNA elements and their associated factors. I report here that induction of HSP82 is regulated by the early meiotic IME1-IME2 transcriptional cascade. Vegetative repression and meiotic induction depend on interactions of the promoter-proximal heat shock element (HSE) with a nearby bipartite repression element, composed of the ubiquitous early meiotic motif, URS1 (upstream repression sequence 1), and a novel ancillary repression element. The ancillary repression element is required for efficient vegetative repression, is spatially separable from URS1, and continues to facilitate repression during sporulation. In contrast, URS1 also functions as a vegetative repression element but is converted early in meiosis into an HSE-dependent activation element. An early step in this transformation may be the antagonism of URS1-mediated repression by IME1. The HSE also nonspecifically supports a second major mode of meiotic activation that does not require URS1 but does require expression of IME2 and concurrent starvation. Interestingly, increased rather than decreased URS1-mediated vegetative transcription can be artificially achieved by introducing rare point mutations into URS1 or by deleting the UME6 gene. These lesions offer insight into mechanisms of URS-dependent repression and activation. Experiments suggest that URS1-bound factors functionally modulate heat shock factor during vegetative transcription and early meiotic induction but not during heat shock. The loss of repression and activation observed when the IME2 activation element, T4C, is substituted for the HSE suggests specific requirements for URS1-upstream activation sequence interactions.
