Abstract
ATP1-111, a suppressor of the slow-growth phenotype of yme1Delta lacking mitochondrial DNA is due to the substitution of phenylalanine for valine at position 111 of the alpha-subunit of mitochondrial ATP synthase (Atp1p in yeast). The suppressing activity of ATP1-111 requires intact beta (Atp2p) and gamma (Atp3p) subunits of mitochondrial ATP synthase, but not the stator stalk subunits b (Atp4p) and OSCP (Atp5p). ATP1-111 and other similarly suppressing mutations in ATP1 and ATP3 increase the growth rate of wild-type strains lacking mitochondrial DNA. These suppressing mutations decrease the growth rate of yeast containing an intact mitochondrial chromosome on media requiring oxidative phosphorylation, but not when grown on fermentable media. Measurement of chronological aging of yeast in culture reveals that ATP1 and ATP3 suppressor alleles in strains that contain mitochondrial DNA are longer lived than the isogenic wild-type strain. In contrast, the chronological life span of yeast cells lacking mitochondrial DNA and containing these mutations is shorter than that of the isogenic wild-type strain. Spore viability of strains bearing ATP1-111 is reduced compared to wild type, although ATP1-111 enhances the survival of spores that lacked mitochondrial DNA.

Abstract
A new high throughput mutant screening procedure for the detection of sporulation mutants was developed and used to analyse a set of 624 non-lethal homozygous deletion mutants created in the European joint research program EUROFAN. The screening procedure involved determination of LL- and DL-dityrosine, sporulation-specific compounds, which were shown to be robust markers of the extent and arrest stage of sporulation mutants. Secondary screens consisted of light microscopy to detect mature and immature spores and DAPI staining to monitor the progress of meiotic nuclear divisions. We discovered new phenotypic classes of mutants defective in spore wall synthesis that were not discovered by previous screens for sporulation mutants. The genes corresponding to the sporulation mutants fell in several functional classes, some of which were previously unknown to be involved in spore formation. Peroxisomes seem to play a role in spore wall synthesis. Mitochondria play a role in sporulation that is not simply restricted to supply of ATP from respiratory metabolism. The deletion mutants included in the set were functionally unknown at the start of EUROFAN; however, within the last few years the importance to sporulation of some of them was also reported by other authors. Taken together, about 8% of all single gene deletion mutants of non-essential genes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae seem to display a clear and reproducible sporulation phenotype.

Abstract
Sporulation in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae occurs in diploid cells following starvation for glucose and nitrogen sources. A key gene in the regulation of the meiotic process is IME1. A well-documented fact is that respiration is necessary for sporulation. We now show that respiration is necessary for the expression of IME1. We suggest that glucose repression of meiosis is transduced through its effect on respiration, in a pathway separate from that of adenylyl cyclase.

Abstract
There is evidence of an important role carried out by mitochondria and by proteins of mitochondrial origin during key moments of development. We assume that it is possible to represent the energy activity of the cell through the level of ATP production and we propose a simple model system for the ATP/ADP cycle. The model takes into account the basic aspect of ATP dynamics in macromolecular synthesis and involves the possibility of selection between states of high and low protein production. A simple extension of the model leads to the creation of a mechanism enabling the establishment of self-sustained oscillations.

Abstract
The respiratory activities and the cytochrome spectra from four species belonging to the genus Hansenula have been analysed. The results obtained and described in this paper show that H. glucozyma possesses only the primary, antimycin A-sensitive respiration, H. anomala and H. californica possess primary and secondary (salicylhydroxamate-sensitive) respirations, whereas H. saturnus possesses three respiratory activities (AA-sensitive, SHAM-sensitive, and AA + SHAM-insensitive). The respiratory activity of H. glucozyma is glucose-repressible, whereas the activities of the other species are not. In addition, antimycin A (AA) and erythromycin (ERY) in the culture media differently inhibit the growth of the four species and regulate the respiratory pathways in the species analysed.

Abstract
In an apomictic strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ATCC 4117-H2) which undergoes a single nuclear division during sporulation and consequently forms asci containing two uninucleate diploid spores, a study was undertaken to investigate the effects of cultivation in three presporulation media (YPA; YNB; SMM) on nuclear division and ascosporogenesis in sporulation medium. Comparison of effects of presporulation culture in these media on the number of spores formed per ascus showed that a marked induction (30 +/- 4.3 per cent) of three- and four-spored asci could occur in sporulation medium following cultivation in a defined YNB medium supplemented with a 1 per cent solution of vitamins and containing decreased ammonium sulphate and increased glucose levels. Experiments in which the concentrations of glucose and of ammonium sulphate were varied simultaneously indicated that the initial presporulation carbon to nitrogen source ratio is an important factor in determining tetrad formation in sporulation medium. Nuclear staining demonstrated two classes of asci: binucleate (one- and two-spored) and tetranucleate (three- and four-spored). Genetic evidence and data concerning effects of inclusion in sporulation medium of a meiotic inhibitor (glucose) indicated spores in tetrads were haploid rather than diploid. This ability to condition a significant number of cells for meiotic rather than apomictic differentiation made possible investigation of effects of mitochondrial inhibitors on both developmental processes simultaneously. It was found possible to selectively inhibit meiotic development by inclusion in sporulation medium of appropriate concentrations of specific inhibitors. Moreover, the data suggest meiotic sporulation is more strictly dependent than apomictic sporulation on mitochondrial function.

Abstract
Sporulation of S. cerevisiae MAT alpha-/MATa was accompanied by a novel pattern of protein synthesis as shown by the disappearance of some "mitotic" polypeptides and by the appearance of a new set of "meiotic" polypeptides. Inhibition of mitochondrial protein synthesis by erythromycin within the 1st h caused the disappearance of several "meiotic" polypeptides. These meiotic polypeptides were also sensitive to cycloheximide and were localized in the cytosol, demonstrating that they were not mitochondrial translational products. Since erythromycin affected neither protein synthesis nor sporulation in a mitochondrially inherited eryr mutant, we conclude that mitochondrial protein synthesis is needed for the expression of some nuclear genes during sporulation.

Abstract
Cells of strain Z270 (MAT alpha/MAT alpha) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae did not undergo ascospore formation in buffered or unbuffered acetate sporulation medium in the presence of erythromycin. The drug inhibited sporulation when added within the first 6 to 8 h and affected to different extents some of the metabolic and sporulation-specific events that normally occur during this period. In sporulation medium, protein synthesis was highly sensitive to erythromycin, whereas RNA synthesis was unaffected and premeiotic DNA synthesis was partially inhibited. Intragenic recombination occurred at normal rates for the various heteroallelic loci tested, but rates of intergenic recombination were markedly reduced, and commitment to haploidization did not occur; hence, development was evidently arrested between intragenic and intergenic recombination. Cells kept for 8 h in acetate sporulation medium that were ready for sporulation in water without erythromycin failed to sporulate in water containing the drug, indicating that erythromycin can inhibit sporulation independent of acetate utilization.

Abstract
We investigated the sporulation properties of a series of diploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains homozygous for inositol auxotrophic markers. The strains required different amounts of inositol for the completion of sporulation. Shift experiments revealed two phases of inositol requirement during sporulation which coincided with the two phases of lipid synthesis found by earlier workers. Phase I was at the beginning and during premeiotic deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis; phase II immediately preceded the appearance of mature asci. Of the inositol taken up by sporulating cells, 90% was incorporated into inositol phospholipids. By two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography, eight compounds were resolved, one of which was sporulation specific. The majority of the inositol phospholipids were, however, identical to those found in vegetatively growing cells. In the absence of inositol, the cells did not sporulate but, after a certain time, were unable to return to vegetative growth. These nonsporulating cells did, however, incorporate acetate into lipids and double their deoxyribonucleic acid content in the premeiotic phase. We believe that it is this lack of coordination of biosynthetic events which causes inositol-less death on sporulation media without inositol.
