A temperature-sensitive mutant of 3Y1, 3Y1tsD123, reversibly arrested in G1 phase of cell cycle at the restrictive temperature of 39.8°C, shows a single amino acid exchange in the D123 protein. In this study, we found that the D123 protein level in 3Y1tsD123, which was 1/8 of that in 3Y1 compared at the permissive temperature of 33.9°C, lowered to 1/4 after a shift to the restrictive temperature. During inhibition of protein synthesis with cycloheximide, the D123 protein level in 3Y1tsD123 decreased markedly depending on the incubation temperature, compared with that in 3Y1, indicating that the lowered levels of D123 protein in 3Y1tsD123 are due to its degradation. Unexpectedly, 2 stably temperature-resistant clones were isolated after transfection of SV-3Y1tsD123 (SV40-transformed 3Y1tSD123, which shows cell death instead of G1 arrest at the restrictive temperature) with the cDNA of the mutant-type (3Y1tsD123-derived) D123 protein. The D123 protein in both clones degraded extensively at both temperatures, suggesting that the overexpression of the mutant-type D123 protein exceeds its degradation. Both temperature-resistant clones contained higher levels of D123 protein at the restrictive temperature than did SV-3Y1tsD123 at the permissive temperature. We concluded that the lowered D123 protein level at the restrictive temperature induces the temperature-sensitive characteristics of 3Y1tsD123 and SV-3Y1tSD123.
