Regulation of inositol uptake activity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae during the growth cycle was examined. Activity increased as the cell population transited from lag phase to exponential growth, and continued to increase until late exponential phase. The increase in activity was due to increased transcription of the ITR1 gene and synthesis of the Itr1 permease. When the culture reached stationary phase, uptake activity decreased and dropped to a minimum within 4 h. The decrease was due to repression of ITR1 transcription, independent of the negative regulator Opi1p, and degradation of the existing permease. Degradation depended on delivery of the permease to the vacuole through the END3/END4 endocytic pathway. During exponential growth in inositol-containing medium the permease is also rapidly degraded, whereas in inositol-free medium the permease is highly stable. Rapid degradation of the permease at stationary phase occurred in inositol-free medium, indicating that there are two distinct mechanisms that trigger endocytosis and degradation in response to different physiological stimuli. In addition, the level of the enzyme required for inositol biosynthesis, inositol-1-phosphate synthase, encoded by INO1, is not reduced in stationary-phase cells, and this contrast in the regulation of inositol supply is discussed.
