Increasing cell size drives proteomic changes that impact cell physiology. However, the molecular basis of size-dependent proteome remodeling has remained unclear. Here, we develop an inducible Cyclin D1 expression system in human cells to generate populations of proliferating cells spanning over a two-fold size range. We use this genetic system to make comprehensive genome-wide measurements of mRNA and protein concentrations and stability. We find that protein and mRNA turnover rates are weakly related to cell size, but that mRNA concentrations are strongly size-dependent. This establishes that transcriptional regulation is the basis of proteome remodeling. Live-cell imaging of endogenous mRNAs using MS2 fluorescent protein binding motifs is used to measure how transcriptional dynamics change with cell size. Larger cells prolong transcriptional bursts and shorten inactive periods between bursts but maintain similar burst amplitudes to achieve transcriptional scaling. Taken together, our results show how transcription is modulated by cell size to remodel the proteome and alter cell physiology.
