Pbh1, from the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, is a baculoviral inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) repeat (BIR) domain-containing protein. Its unique encoding gene was previously found to be regulated by nitric oxide and nitrogen starvation. In the current work, the Pbh1-lacZ fusion gene was used to elucidate the transcriptional regulation of the pbh1 gene under various carbon sources. When fermentable carbon sources, such as glucose (at a low concentration of 0.2 %), sucrose (2.0 %) and lactose (2.0 %), were the sole carbon source, the synthesis of $\beta$-galactosidase from the Pbh1-lacZ fusion gene was reasonably enhanced. However, the induction by these fermentable carbon sources was abolished in the Pap1-negative S. pombe cells, implying that this type of induction of the pbh1 gene is mediated by Pap1. Ethanol (2.0%), a nonfermentable carbon source, was also able to enhance the synthesis of $\beta$-galactosidase from the fusion gene in wild-type cells but not in Pap1-negative cells. The results indicate that the S. pombe pbh1 gene is up-regulated under metabolic oxidative stress in a Pap1-dependent manner.

이론/모형
P-Galactosidase activity in extracts was measured at 25℃ by spectrophotometry using o-nitrophenyl-P -D-galactopyranoside (ONPG) as a substrate (Guarente, 1983). Protein concentration in extracts was determined according to the procedure of Bradford using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a standard (Bradford, 1976).
The yeast cells harboring the fusion plasmid pPbhO4 were grown in minimal medium, and split at the early exponential phase. p-Galactosidase activity in the extracts was measured at 25℃ by the spectrophotometric method, using ONPG as a substrate (Guarente, 1983). Its specific activity was represented in A42o/min/mg protein.
성능/효과
In conclusion, the expression of the S. pombe pbhl gene is up-regulated under metabolic oxidative stress, which might help the fission yeast cells survive under poor nutrient conditions.
