“sets of coordinately expressed genes) [25].”

“We considered the previously published compendium of deletion profiles, characterizing the transcription profiles of 270 deletion mutants [19].”

“Similarly, 50% of RNA polymerase II transcription, as well as 90% of mRNA splicing, are devoted to ribosomal protein [4].”

“This correlation pattern was particularly evident in the prototypic responses, termed environmental stress response (ESR), to a variety of environmental stresses (including heat-shock, peroxide shock or high osmolarity) [24,25].”

“Similarly, tumor cells often express high levels of ribosome and other translation related factors, in accordance with their elevated growth rates [8,9].”

“Ref [28]) that adjusted the level of ribosomal proteins with growth rates [29].”

“As previously reported, the size of slow growing wild type cells (glycerol) is smaller than fast growing ones (glucose) [26].”

“We focused on the 5% of genes with the highest or lowest GCR, respectively and characterized their properties by analyzing enrichment within different co-expressed gene groups defined previously [20,22] (Fig.”

“Indeed, the number of ribosomes in yeast cells appears to be linked to cell size and growth rate [6,7].”

“An alternative strategy for coordinating gene expression with physiological requirements is to infer the expected physiological state from the external environment. This can be done using evolutionary-tuned signaling pathways. For example, in yeast, the TOR and the PKA pathways sense the source and availability of car…”

“Our study focused on finding the enrichment of positive GCR and negative GCR genes in different co-regulated gene groups, which were previously defined by the signature algorithm [20,21].”

“In fact, purine NTP levels directly regulates rRNA transcription [11–14], and thus determine the rate of ribosomal biogenesis.”

“This feedback is mediated, at least in part, by the nucleotide dependency of rRNA transcription, and by the accumulation of uncharged tRNA, through the stringent response [10,13,15,30].”

“In those instances, the stringent response feedbacks to repress the transcription of genes associated with the translational apparatus, including tRNAs, rRNAs, ribosomal proteins, translational factors, and synthetases [15–17].”

“As described previously, genes of both groups are co-expressed under a large number of conditions, and display a strong inverse correlation with genes induced as part of the general stress response [23].”

“In bacteria, the rate of ribosome synthesis increases approximately with the square of the growth rate [10].”

“Based on the genomic distribution of growth-correlated genes, it was suggested that growth-rate dependence is achieved through replication-mediated changes in chromatin modification [18].”

“This feedback is mediated, at least in part, by the nucleotide dependency of rRNA transcription, and by the accumulation of uncharged tRNA, through the stringent response [10,13,15,30].”

“As a control, batch culture cells were grown in similar media and harvested at late logarithmic phase (Note that patterns of gene expression in steady-state closely resemble those of corresponding batch cultures just before they exhaust the nutrient [31]).”

“similar intrinsic sensing mechanism to balance growth and stress resistance [160,161].”

“In recent years, a number of studies have characterized the growth rate dependence of relative mRNA abundance in Baker’s yeast under various nutrient-limiting conditions in chemostat (Regenberg et al , 2006; Castrillo et al , 2007; Levy et al , 2007; Brauer et al , 2008; Airoldi et al , 2009).”

“…ribosome content despite substantial reduction in growth rate, indicating that the scaling of ribosome content with growth rate result from cell signaling in response to the environment, rather than a direct causal relationship between ribosome availability and growth rate (Levy et al., 2007).”

“…maximizing growth: under-production of ribosomes causes ineffective use of cellular resources, while over-production leads to an excess use of resources for protein synthesis at the expense of other cellular processes (Gralla, 2005; Keener and Nomura, 1996; Levy et al., 2007; Paul et al., 2004).”

“protein overexpression, fermentation, peroxisome induction, cell cycle and cell aging conditions [12,31-44].”

“Therefore the physiology of a unicellular organism in a changing environment is not optimized solely for growth rate but for a combination of growth as fast as possible while still allowing for changed requirements for population or individual robustness (Levy et al., 2007).”

“Apparently, a yeast cell adjusts its transcriptional program, metabolic machinery and growth rate solely on the basis of its perception of the nutrient status, not on the basis of metabolites actually produced from the available nutrients [21,112,238].”

“Using the SPELL search engine [43], we find that gene expression microarray experiments involving leucine [44] and histidine limitation [45] are among those ranking highest for Vhr1 differential gene expression.”

“We constructed a system of aministat array as previously described (Miller et al. 2013) and grew four of our strains under conditions of histidine limitation (Levy et al. 2007) at a dilution rate of 0.04 h−1, corresponding to a doubling time of ∼17.5 h (Methods; Supplemental Fig.”

“To further test our feedback-first model, we examined the effects of varying carbon source and synchronization method, which are both known to affect gene expression (Flick et al., 1998; Levy et al., 2007; Brauer et al., 2008).”

“Gcn4p can be stimulated by ultraviolet light and methyl methanesulfonate (Hill et al, 1986; Natarajan et al, 2001), and expression of ribosome biosynthetic genes is highly responsive to environmental changes (Levy et al, 2007).”

“The spatial and regulatory segregation of different aspects of ribosome biogenesis may enable more efficient anticipation of and/or adaptation to changing environmental conditions (Levy et al. 2007).”

“regulate ribosome biogenesis primarily in response to growthlimiting environmental signals (33).”

“Furthermore, applying the same K-means clustering did not yield a clear correlation between growth rates and changes in gene expression during periods of stress response (Additional file 1: Figure S10), which is consistent with findings in yeast [25].”

“Experiments using a strain deleted of the gene ADH1 supported, again, the feed-forward strategy [11].”

“The identity of such trade-offs has remained rather controversial for a century (Warburg et al., 1924; Warburg, 1962; Crabtree, 1929; Newsholme et al., 1985; Brand and Hermfisse, 1997a; Pfeiffer et al., 2001; Heiden et al., 2009; Levine and Puzio-Kuter, 2010; Vazquez et al., 2010; Shlomi et al.,…”

“Although substantial progress has been made in time resolution using microfluidics 12 and chemostats 13,14 , these technologies are limited in their ability to achieve simultaneous growth and gene expression measurements in high throughput at the single-cell level (Fig.”

“, 2006), but it has been suggested that these genes are regulated by the external environment rather than the specific growth rate (Levy et al., 2007).”

“Two DAL genes (DAL1 and DAL2), which are required for degradation of allantoin, a metabolite involved in purine metabolism for nitrogen recycling [69] were also induced under limitation of nitrogen, approximately 5- and 7-fold higher expressed relatively to HN condition.”

“In fact, the results of Levy et al. (2007) with the single adh1 mutant can be interpreted differently with regard to that these authors proposed (Levy and Barkai 2009) because they did not take into account the larger cell volume of yeasts in glycerol.”

“This well- investigated characteristic is clearly visible in Figure 8A and has been observed previously in various stresses (Levy et al., 2007; MacGilvray et al., 2020).”

“Similar results were reported in another study by Levy et al . which found that ribosome biogenesis genes responded more to changes in the environment and less to longer-term changes in growth rates [23].”

“It has been proposed that yeast cells regulate ribosome biogenesis primarily by responding to growth limiting environmental signals [23].”

“In a similar vein, TRM #4 shows strong correlations with environmental profiles related to leucine/sulfate or histidine limitation (Saldanha et al. 2004; Levy et al. 2007) (supplementary table S3, Supplementary Material online) Indeed, genes affected by TRM #4 are enriched in functions related to cellular amino acid m…”

“Some recent studies suggest that investments in the machinery needed for growth are undertaken not when the cell is really capable of growing fast but when the signals perceived from external environment suggest so [32,33].”

“…expression of glycolytic genes from that of RP and RiBi regulons and more generally genes related to protein synthesis seemed unique to the present experiment, as their expression is reportedly tightly correlated whenever nutrients are available (Deminoff and Santangelo, 2001; Levy et al., 2007).”

“The relative importance of automatic reactions predicted by the metabolic model vs. cellular programs that evolved to adapt the cell to changing external and internal conditions is largely unstudied (Levy et al., 2007).”

“Together, these phenomena suggest a functional role for the environmental stress-induced downregulation of ribosome biogenesis and protein synthesis in growth rate control (Jorgensen et al., 2004; Levy et al., 2007).”

“A) Genes differentially regulated in S. cerevisiae upon growth on the carbon sources glucose versus glycerol [37] were built into an interconnected network.”

“Because levels of ribosome biogenesis and growth rate are correlated in budding yeast [18,19], down-regulation of protein biosynthesis genes is an indication that growth rate is also reduced, a phenotype that has been reported previously in both mutant strains [2,10].”

“Extensive microarray analysis has revealed a mutually exclusive transcriptional regulation between the RP regulon and stress response genes under a variety of severe conditions in S. cerevisiae (Levy et al., 2007; Joo et al., 2011).”

“As part of the ESR, ribosome biogenesis genes are downregulated in response to stress so that transcription of stress-defense genes can increase (Gasch et al. , 2000; Causton et al. , 2001; Levy et al. , 2007).”
