A nitrogen starvation-induced dormant G0 state in fission yeast: the establishment from uncommitted G1 state and its delay for return to proliferation
Abstract
Fission yeast cells either remain in the mitotic cell cycle or exit to meiotic sporulation from an uncommitted G1 state dependent on the presence or absence of nitrogen source in the medium (Nurse and Bissett, 1981). We examined how heterothallic haploid cells, which cannot sporulate, behave under nitrogen-starvation for longer than 25 days at 26 degrees C. These cells were shown to enter a stable state (designated the dormant G0) with nearly full viability. Maintaining the dormant cells required glucose, suggesting that the cells remained metabolically active although cell division had ceased. They differed dramatically from mitotic and uncommitted G1 cells in heat resistance, and also in cytoplasmic and nuclear morphologies. After nitrogen replenishment, the initial responses of dormant G0 cells were investigated. The kinetics for reentry into the proliferative state were delayed considerably, and the changes in cell shape were enhanced particularly for those recovering from extended nitrogen starvation. A part of the delay could be accounted for by the duration of nuclear decondensation and cell elongation for the first cell division.
