Ire1 is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-located endoribonuclease that is activated in response to ER stress. In yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells, Ire1 promotes HAC1-mRNA splicing to remove the intron sequence from the HAC1u mRNA ("u" stands for "uninduced"). The resulting mRNA, which is named HAC1i mRNA ("i" stands for "induced"), is then translated into a transcription factor that is involved in the unfolded protein response (UPR). In this study, we designed an oligonucleotide primer that specifically hybridizes to the exon-joint site of the HAC1i cDNA. This primer allowed us to perform real-time reverse transcription-PCR to quantify HAC1i mRNA abundance with high sensitivity. Using this method, we detected a minor induction of HAC1-mRNA splicing in yeast cells cultured at their maximum growth temperature of 39 °C. Based on our analyses of IRE1-gene mutant strains, we propose that when yeast cells are cultured at or near their maximum growth temperature, protein folding in the ER is disturbed, leading to a minor UPR induction that supports cellular growth.
