Abstract
Cell size is tightly controlled in healthy tissues and single-celled organisms, but it remains unclear how cell size influences physiology. Increasing cell size was recently shown to remodel the proteomes of cultured human cells, demonstrating that large and small cells of the same type can be compositionally different. In the present study, we utilize the natural heterogeneity of hepatocyte ploidy and yeast genetics to establish that the ploidy-to-cell size ratio is a highly conserved determinant of proteome composition. In both mammalian and yeast cells, genome dilution by cell growth elicits a starvation-like phenotype, suggesting that growth in large cells is restricted by genome concentration in a manner that mimics a limiting nutrient. Moreover, genome dilution explains some proteomic changes ascribed to yeast aging. Overall, our data indicate that genome concentration drives changes in cell composition independently of external environmental cues.

Abstract
All cells are subject to geometric constraints, such as surface area-to-volume (SA/V) ratio, that impact cell functions and force biological adaptations. Like the SA/V ratio of a sphere, it is generally assumed that the SA/V ratio of cells decreases as cell size increases. Here, we investigate this in near-spherical mammalian cells using single-cell measurements of cell mass and surface proteins, as well as imaging of plasma membrane morphology. We find that the SA/V ratio remains surprisingly constant as cells grow larger. This observation is largely independent of the cell cycle and the amount of cell growth. Consequently, cell growth results in increased plasma membrane folding, which simplifies cellular design by ensuring sufficient membrane area for cell division, nutrient uptake and deformation at all cell sizes.

Abstract
Evolutionary increases in genome size, cell volume, and nuclear volume have been observed across the tree of life, with positive correlations documented between all three traits. Developmental tempo slows as genomes, nuclei, and cells increase in size, yet the driving mechanisms are poorly understood. To bridge this gap, we use a mathematical model of the somitogenesis clock to link slowed developmental tempo with changes in intra-cellular gene expression kinetics induced by increasing genome size and nuclear volume. We adapt a well-known somitogenesis clock model to two model amphibian species that vary 10-fold in genome size: Xenopus laevis (3.1 Gb) and Ambystoma mexicanum (32 Gb). Based on simulations and backed by analytical derivations, we identify parameter changes originating from increased genome and nuclear size that slow gene expression kinetics. We simulate biological scenarios for which these parameter changes mathematically recapitulate slowed gene expression in A. mexicanum relative to X. laevis, and we consider scenarios for which additional alterations in gene product stability and chromatin packing are necessary. Results suggest that slowed degradation rates as well as changes induced by increasing nuclear volume and intron length, which remain relatively unexplored, are significant drivers of slowed developmental tempo.

Abstract
RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is the multi-protein complex responsible for transcribing all protein-coding messenger RNA (mRNA). Most research on gene regulation is focused on the mechanisms controlling which genes are transcribed when, or on the mechanics of transcription. How global Pol II activity is determined receives comparatively less attention. Here, we follow the life of a Pol II molecule from 'assembly of the complex' to nuclear import, enzymatic activity, and degradation. We focus on how Pol II spends its time in the nucleus, and on the two-way relationship between Pol II abundance and activity in the context of homeostasis and global transcriptional changes.

Abstract
The rate of embryonic development is a species-specific trait that depends on the properties of the intracellular environment, namely, the rate at which gene products flow through the central dogma of molecular biology. Although any given step in the production and degradation of gene products could theoretically be co-opted by evolution to modulate developmental speed, species are observed to accelerate or slow down all steps simultaneously. This suggests the rate of these molecular processes is jointly regulated by an upstream, ultimate factor. Mitochondrial metabolism was recently proposed to act as an ultimate regulator by controlling the pace of protein synthesis upstream of developmental tempo. Alternative candidates for ultimate regulators include species-specific gene expression levels of factors involved in the central dogma, as well as species-specific cell size. Overall, much work remains to be done before we can confidently identify the ultimate causes of species-specific developmental rates.

Abstract
Experimental observations tracing back to the 1960s imply that ribosome quantities play a prominent role in determining a cell's growth. Nevertheless, in biologically relevant scenarios, growth can also be influenced by the levels of mRNA and RNA polymerase. Here, we construct a quantitative model of biosynthesis providing testable scenarios for these situations. The model explores a theoretically motivated regime where RNA polymerases compete for genes and ribosomes for transcripts and gives general expressions relating growth rate, mRNA concentrations, ribosome, and RNA polymerase levels. On general grounds, the model predicts how the fraction of ribosomes in the proteome depends on total mRNA concentration and inspects an underexplored regime in which the trade-off between transcript levels and ribosome abundances sets the cellular growth rate. In particular, we show that the model predicts and clarifies three important experimental observations, in budding yeast and Escherichia coli bacteria: i) that the growth-rate cost of unneeded protein expression can be affected by mRNA levels, ii) that resource optimization leads to decreasing trends in mRNA levels at slow growth, and iii) that ribosome allocation may increase, stay constant, or decrease, in response to transcription-inhibiting antibiotics. Since the data indicate that a regime of joint limitation may apply in physiological conditions and not only to perturbations, we speculate that this regime is likely self-imposed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In dinoflagellates, a unique and extremely divergent genomic and nuclear organization has evolved. The highly unusual features of dinoflagellate nuclei and genomes include permanently condensed liquid crystalline chromosomes, primarily packaged by proteins other than histones, genes organized in very long unidirectional gene arrays, a general absence of transcriptional regulation, high abundance of the otherwise very rare DNA modification 5-hydroxymethyluracil (5-hmU), and many others. While most of these fascinating properties are originally identified in the 1970s and 1980s, they have not yet been investigated using modern genomic tools. RESULTS In this work, we address some of the outstanding questions regarding dinoflagellate genome organization by mapping the genome-wide distribution of 5-hmU (using both immunoprecipitation-based and basepair-resolution chemical mapping approaches) and of chromatin accessibility in the genome of the Symbiodiniaceae dinoflagellate Breviolum minutum. We find that the 5-hmU modification is preferentially enriched over certain classes of repetitive elements, often coincides with the boundaries between gene arrays, and is generally correlated with decreased chromatin accessibility, the latter otherwise being largely uniform along the genome. We discuss the potential roles of 5-hmU in the functional organization of dinoflagellate genomes and its relationship to the transcriptional landscape of gene arrays. CONCLUSIONS Our results provide the first window into the 5-hmU and chromatin accessibility landscapes in dinoflagellates.

Abstract
Codon optimality is a major determinant of mRNA translation and degradation rates. However, whether and through which mechanisms its effects are regulated remains poorly understood. Here we show that codon optimality associates with up to 2-fold change in mRNA stability variations between human tissues, and that its effect is attenuated in tissues with high energy metabolism and amplifies with age. Mathematical modeling and perturbation data through oxygen deprivation and ATP synthesis inhibition reveal that cellular energy variations non-uniformly alter the effect of codon usage. This new mode of codon effect regulation, independent of tRNA regulation, provides a fundamental mechanistic link between cellular energy metabolism and eukaryotic gene expression.

Abstract
Paf1C is a highly conserved protein complex with critical functions during eukaryotic transcription. Previous studies have shown that Paf1C is multi-functional, controlling specific aspects of transcription, ranging from RNAPII processivity to histone modifications. However, it is unclear how specific Paf1C subunits directly impact transcription and coupled processes. We have compared conditional depletion to steady-state deletion for each Paf1C subunit to determine the direct and indirect contributions to gene expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Using nascent transcript sequencing, RNAPII profiling, and modeling of transcription elongation dynamics, we have demonstrated direct effects of Paf1C subunits on RNAPII processivity and elongation rate and indirect effects on transcript splicing and repression of antisense transcripts. Further, our results suggest that the direct transcriptional effects of Paf1C cannot be readily assigned to any particular histone modification. This work comprehensively analyzes both the immediate and extended roles of each Paf1C subunit in transcription elongation and transcript regulation.

Abstract
Cell size and biosynthetic capacity generally increase with increased DNA content. Polyploidy has therefore been proposed to be an adaptive strategy to increase cell size in specialized tissues with high biosynthetic demands. However, if and how DNA concentration limits cellular biosynthesis in vivo is not well understood, and the impacts of polyploidy in non-disease states is not well studied. Here, we show that polyploidy in the C. elegans intestine is critical for cell growth and yolk biosynthesis, a central role of this organ. Artificially lowering the DNA/cytoplasm ratio by reducing polyploidization in the intestine gave rise to smaller cells with more dilute mRNA. Highly-expressed transcripts were more sensitive to this mRNA dilution, whereas lowly-expressed genes were partially compensated - in part by loading more RNA Polymerase II on the remaining genomes. DNA-dilute cells had normal total protein concentration, which we propose is achieved by increasing production of translational machinery at the expense of specialized, cell-type specific proteins.

Abstract
Cells vary in volume throughout their life cycle and in many other circumstances, while their genome remains identical. Hence, the RNA production factory must adapt to changing needs, while maintaining the same production lines. This paradox is resolved by different mechanisms in distinct cells and circumstances. RNA polymerases have evolved to cope with the particular circumstances of each case and the different characteristics of the several RNA molecule types, especially their stabilities. Here we review current knowledge on these issues. We focus on the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, where many of the studies have been performed, although we compare and discuss the results obtained in other eukaryotes and propose several ideas and questions to be tested and solved in the future.
