COX6 and its surrounding genetic locus have been characterized for the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Flanking genes are found closely spaced upstream and downstream of COX6. The upstream gene and COX6 are transcribed from opposite strands and are separated by no more than 300 bp. COX6 is transcribed into three different size classes of mRNA (1000b, 830b, and 700b) differing in length in their 3' untranslated regions. All three classes of mRNAs are found on polysomes and, hence, are most likely translated. The different COX6 mRNAs vary in abundance during growth in rich media and are affected differentially as cells are shifted into media containing high or low glucose concentrations. The largest mRNA is much more susceptible to glucose repression/derepression than are the two smaller mRNAs, whereas the smallest RNA is preferentially accumulated during growth in rich media. These findings demonstrate that COX6 mRNAs with different 3'-termini are either synthesized differentially or differ in stability and suggest the existence of a complex system regulating COX6 expression.
