Global phenotypic and genomic comparison of two Saccharomyces cerevisiae wine strains

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to phenotype a collection of 27 S. cerevisiae commercial wine strains growing within temperatures (4-45ºC) in both minimal media (SD) and synthetic must (SM) and, taking into account µmax value, to select two strains with divergent phenotype in their capacity to grow at low temperature. To confirm this differential phenotype, we design a competition between both strains during wine fermentations. As expected, at low temperature fermentation, the strain showing a good performance out-competes to the strain growing badly in cold. Finally we aimed to decipher the molecular basis underlying this divergent phenotype by analyzing the genomic, proteomic and transcriptomic differences between both strains at low temperature (15ºC) and optimum temperature (28ºC). Two Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains with divergent phenotype in their capacity to grow and ferment at low temperature were analyzed (P5 strain as a candidate with a good performance in fermentations at low temperature (15ºC) and P24 as a candidate with a worse behavior at low temperature). All experiments were performed using triplicates arrays, and Cy5-dCTP and Cy3-dCTP dye-swap assays were performed to reduce dye-specific bias.

<h4>Background</h4>The wine industry needs better-adapted yeasts to grow at low temperature because it is interested in fermenting at low temperature to improve wine aroma. Elucidating the response to cold in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is of paramount importance for the selection or genetic improvement of wine strains.<h4>Results</h4>We followed a global approach by comparing transcriptomic, proteomic and genomic changes in two commercial wine strains, which showed clear differences in their growt ...[more]

Project description:Wine produced at low temperature is often considered to improve sensory qualities. However, there are certain drawbacks to low temperature fermentations: e.g. low growth rate, long lag phase, and sluggish or stuck fermentations. Selection and development of new Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains well adapted at low temperature is interesting for future biotechnological applications. This study aimed to select and develop wine yeast strains that well adapt to ferment at low temperature through evolutionary engineering, and to decipher the process underlying the obtained phenotypes. To this end, we used a pool of 27 commercial yeast strains and set up batch serial dilution experiments to mimic wine fermentation conditions at 12 ºC. Evolutionary engineering was accomplished by using the natural yeast mutation rate and mutagenesis procedures. One strain (P5) outcompeted the others under both experimental conditions and was able to impose after 200 generations. The evolved strains showed improved growth and low-temperature fermentation performance compared to the ancestral strain. This improvement was acquired only under inositol limitation. The transcriptomic comparison between the evolved and parental strains showed the greatest up-regulation in four mannoprotein coding genes, which belong to the DAN/TIR family (DAN1, TIR1, TIR4 and TIR3). Genome sequencing of the evolved strain revealed the presence of a SNP in the GAA1 gene and the construction of a site-directed mutant (GAA1Thr108) in a derivative haploid of the ancestral strain resulted in improved fermentation performance. GAA1 encodes a GPI transamidase complex subunit that adds GPI, which is required for inositol synthesis, to newly synthesized proteins, including mannoproteins. Thus we demonstrate the importance of inositol and mannoproteins in yeast adaptation at low temperature and the central role of the GAA1 gene by linking both metabolisms. The first aim of this study was to assess the most competitive strains that grow under wine fermentation conditions at low temperature. To this end, we performed a growth competition assay with 27 commercial wine strains inoculated at equal population size in synthetic grape must. In spite of the economical and industrial importance of these strains, their phenotypic variation in the main enological traits, particularly those related to optimum growth temperature, and their ability to adapt to low temperature fermentation have been poorly investigated. The second goal was to obtain an improved strain to grow and ferment at low temperature by evolutionary engineering. For this purpose, we maintained growth competition in synthetic grape must during 200 generations to select for the mutations that produce phenotypes with improved growth in this medium. One of these evolved cultures was previously treated with ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) to increase the mutation rate. Finally, we aimed to decipher the molecular basis underlying this improvement by analyzing the genomic and transcriptional differences between the parental strain and the strain evolved at low temperature.

Project description:To obtain insight into the molecular basis of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and its progression by infiltrating surrounding tissue, we have performed cellular-based gene expression analysis of pure DCIS and DCIS with co-existing invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) and compared the histological and molecular aspects between these morphologically identical lesions seeking to find key genes involved in DCIS progression. For that, 30 samples were evaluated, 4 non-neoplastic (N), 5 pure DCIS, 11 DCIS with co-existing IDC (DCIS-IDC) and 10 IDC. All samples were laser capture microdissected and RNAs were amplified using T7-based methodology. Microarray technology was performed using a customized cDNA platform containing 4,608 human genes. To classify the 4 sample groups according to molecular similarity we performed comparisons of their general expression pattern using ANOVA test (pFDR<0,01) followed by Tukey´s test (fold>l2l). Among the 4 sample groups, as expected, non-neoplastic cells reported the most distinct gene expression pattern. However, among the 3 groups of neoplastic cells, in contrast to morphological aspects, pure DCIS had the most distinct expression profile when compared to the other lesions: DCIS-IDC and IDC. Additionally, by comparison among pure DCIS, DCIS-IDC and N, we identified 147 genes potentially involved in DCIS progression. Unsupervised hierarchical cluster based on expression profile of this gene-set could discriminate DCIS-IDC from 60% of pure DCIS samples.

This research was approved by Ethic Committee of the Medical and Research Center - Hospital A. C. Camargo under number 587/04 and a written informed consent signed by all participants. All patients had presented at least 5 years of follow-up. Thirty samples were evaluated, 4 non-neoplastic breast samples (MN), 5 pure DCIS (stage 0; DCIS-0), 11 DCIS with co-existing IDC (DCIS) and 10 IDC. The non-neoplastic samples were obtained from perilesional mammary specimens from patients submitted to resection of benign lesions. All cells types were laser capture microdissected using PixCell II LCM system (Arcturus Engineering, Mountain View, CA). The total RNA was extracted by using the PicoPureä RNA Isolation kit (Arcturus Engineering # KT0204). A two-round linear amplification procedure based on T7-driven amplification was carried out. Amplified RNA was then used in a transcriptase reverse reaction into cDNA in the presence of Cy3- or Cy5-labeled dCTP. HB4a normal luminal epithelial mammary cell line (O’Hare et al 1991) was amplified following the same protocol and used as reference for microarray hybridizations. Dye swap was performed for each sample analyzed and used as replicate samples. For the raw_data (lowess_data), see Web Link below.

Project description:The yeast proteins Pkh1 and Pkh2 are functional counterparts of the mammalian 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1). Cells carrying simultaneous deletion in both genes, PKH1 and PKH2 are not viable, at least in some genetic backgrounds (Casamayor et al., 1999; Inagaki et al., 1999). Consequently, a different strategy is needed to study the function of these apparently redundant gene products. The approach that has been successfully used to dissect the functions of these proteins consist in the use of a strain that combine the disruption of PKH2 with the temperature sensitive pkh1D398G allele (Inagaki et al., 1999). Since Pkh1 and Pkh2 phosphorylate Pkc1 in vitro in its activation loop (Thr983), and the cell lysis defects of the pkh1D398G pkh2 strain at the restrictive temperature are partially restored by constitutive activation of the Pkc1-Slt2 MAPK pathway, it has been suggested that the Pkh activity is important for maintenance of the cell wall integrity in S. cerevisiae (Inagaki et al., 1999; Friant et al., 2001). We considered it necessary that a different genetic strategy would be convenient in order to carry out specific studies about the functions of the Pkh proteins. In order to avoid incubations at temperatures that activate the Slt2 pathway, and induce cellular lysis, we decided to use a strategy based on the use of a regulatable promoter. We replaced 487 bp located immediately upstream the start PKH2 codon by a cassette containing the doxycycline-repressed promoter tetO7. This substitution is positioned in a 1.3 kbp intergenic region containing divergent promoters and it seems unlikely that may affect expression of the IZH4, the upstream gene, which encode a family of four paralogous membrane proteins involved in zinc ion homeostasis and whose expression is regulated by fatty acids and zinc altered levels. In this strain (MB002) the PKH2 expression could be switched off by addition of doxycycline. In order to deplete the cell for the Pkh activity, we disrupted both, the PKH1 and PKH3 coding regions, obtaining the new SDP8 strain. Our results show that depletion of Pkh results in a differential transcriptional response in front of a heat shock stress. The general transcriptional response was attenuated in the SDP8 when compared when WT cells, but lack of Pkh activity did not affect the repression of the ribosomal proteins. Four samples were analyzed: the SDP8 strain, a tetO7 conditional mutant, and its isogenic WT strain both, in the presence and in the absence of doxycyline (for 8 and 24 h). We compared the expression profile of: 1) WT + 16h Dox + 40 min heat shock vs WT + 16h Dox. 2) SDP8 + 16h Dox + 40 min heat shock vs SDP8 + 16h Dox. A Dye-swap was carried out for each comparison of samples. Total number of chips analyzed: 4.
