Expression of alpha -amylase genes in cultured rice suspension cells is induced by sucrose starvation. To study the mechanism of sugar metabolite regulation on the expression of individual alpha -amylase genes, DNA fragments specific to each of eight rice alpha -amylase genes were synthesized and used as gene-specific probes. Comparison of the relative abundance of mRNA revealed that expression of the eight alpha -amylase genes in rice cells was differentially regulated by sucrose starvation. Accumulation of all the alpha -amylase mRNAs increased in response to sucrose starvation; however, levels of the alpha Amy3 and alpha Amy8 mRNAs were distinctly higher and constituted 90% of total alpha -amylase mRNAs. RNA gel blot and nuclear run-on transcription analyses demonstrated a positive correlation between the increased transcription rates and the elevated steady-state levels of alpha -amylase mRNAs induced by sucrose starvation. The half-lives of alpha Amy3, alpha Amy7, and alpha Amy8 were prolonged by sucrose-starvation; however, the stability of the three mRNAs seems controlled by different mechanisms. The translation inhibitors cycloheximide and anisomycin preferentially blocked the sucrose-suppressed expression of alpha Amy3 but not that of alpha Amy7 and alpha Amy8. These inhibitors also enhanced the sucrose starvation-induced accumulation of alpha Amy3 mRNA but not that of alpha Amy7 or alpha Amy8 mRNAs. Cycloheximide did not significantly alter the transcription rates of alpha -amylase genes, suggesting that labile proteins may selectively stabilize the alpha Amy7 and alpha Amy8 mRNAs but destabilize the alpha Amy3 mRNA.
