In a rapidly growing yeast cell, 60% of total transcription is devoted to ribosomal RNA, and 50% of RNA polymerase II transcription and 90% of mRNA splicing are devoted to the production of mRNAs for r-proteins. Coordinate regulation of the rRNA genes and 137 r-protein genes is affected by nutritional cues and a number of signal transduction pathways that can abruptly induce or silence the ribosomal genes, whose transcripts have naturally short lifetimes, leading to major implications for the expression of other genes as well. The expression of some r-protein genes is influenced by Abf1p, and most are directly induced by binding of Rap1p to their promoters, which excludes nucleosomes and recruits Fhl1p and Ifh1p to drive transcription.

Ribosome synthesis is under nutrient control. Synthesis of the four rRNAs and 79 different proteins in equimolar amounts is one of the most energetically expensive cellular processes, and must be coordinated together. Ribosome biogenesis requires all three RNA polymerases: Pol I for rRNA genes, Pol II for ribosomal protein genes, and Pol III for tRNA and 5S RNA genes. Therefore, sensing quality and quantity of available nutrients is key in the regulation of ribosome biogenesis. PMID: 15489289, PMID: 18303986
Formation of transcription initiation complexes at the rDNA promoter depends on the association of RNA Pol I with the Rrn3p transcription factor, which is regulated by phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of Rrn3p. During normal conditions, a surface serine patch on Rrn3p is not phosphorylated, enabling it to bind RNA Pol I for efficient rDNA transcription. In stress conditions, the surface serine patch undergoes phosphorylation, which impairs the interaction of Rrn3p with RNA Pol I, repressing Pol I transcription, and thereby also reducing ribosome production and cell growth. The presence of glucose results in increased expression of RRN3. In cells treated with rapamycin, Rrn3p is subject to proteasome-dependent degradation, reducing the cellular amount of transcription-initiation competent RNA Pol I - Rrn3p complexes.

Ribosomal protein genes and ribosomal biogenesis genes are transcribed by RNA polymerase II. The activation of these promoters requires the forkhead-like transcription factor, Fhl1p, the acitvity of which is subject to nutrient regulation via the Ifh1 activator and the Crf1 repressor. Under lack of stress, the TorC1 complex retains Crf1p in the cytoplasm in a dephosphorylated, inactive state. Upon nutrient deprivation, the PKA-responsive Yak1 kinase phosphorylates Crf1p, resulting in its translocation to the nucleus, where Crf1p competes with the Ifh1 activator to bind Fhl1p. The transcription factor Sfp1p also mediates TorC1 regulation of ribosomal protein and ribosomal biogenesis genes. Interaction of Sfp1p with TorC1 reduces Sch9p phosphorylation, resulting in a negative feedback loop. PMID: 15620355, PMID: 19796927
Transcription by RNA polymerase III is negatively regulated by Maf1, a highly conserved repressor. Both the localization and activity of Maf1p are regulated by phosphorylation at various sites, mediated by TORC1, protein kinase A (PKA), and Sch9p. In its dephosphorylated state, Maf1p binds the N-terminus of the Rpc160p subunit of Pol III to prevent closed-complex formation. Maf1p is maintained in the cytoplasm during vegetative growth via PKA- or Sch9p-mediated phosphorylation. Dephosphorylation allows translocation of Maf1p to the nucleus and nucleolus under stress conditions, which shuts down RNA Pol III transcription.Phosphorylation of Maf1p by CK2 occurs at promoters, which releases Maf1p from chromatin, liberating RNA Pol III from inhibition.
