RNA-seq of Candida albicans cells of the wildtype strain SC5314 and a sky2 deletion mutant grown on different carbon sources (glucose, malic acid, succinic acid)

ABSTRACT: RNA-sequencing was performed to investigate the role of the Candida albicans protein kinase Sky2 in metabolic adaptation to alternative carbon sources. The Candida albicans wildtype strain SC5314 and a sky2 deletion mutant were grown in medium with either glucose (3h), malic acid (6h) or succinic acid (6h) as the sole carbon source. Because the sky2 deletion mutant showed decreased growth in media that contain either malic acid or succinic acid as the sole carbon source, we wanted to investigate the transcriptional changes in the sky2 mutant grown on these carbon sources.

Project description:Yeast filamentous growth is a stress response to conditions of nitrogen deprivation, wherein yeast colonies form pseudohyphal filaments of elongated and connected cells. As proteins mediating adhesion and transport are required for this growth transition, the protein complement at the yeast cell periphery plays a critical and tightly regulated role in enabling pseudohyphal filamentation. To identify proteins differentially abundant at the yeast cell periphery during pseudohyphal growth, we generated quantitative proteomic profiles of plasma membrane protein preparations under conditions of vegetative growth and filamentation. By iTRAQ chemistry and two-dimensional LC-MS/MS, we profiled 2,463 peptides and 356 proteins, from which we identified eleven differentially abundant proteins that localize to the yeast cell periphery. This protein set includes Ylr414cp, herein renamed Pun1p, a previously uncharacterized protein localized to the plasma membrane compartment of Can1 (MCC). Pun1p abundance is increased two-fold under conditions of nitrogen stress, and deletion of PUN1 abolishes filamentous growth in haploids and diploids; pun1D mutants are non-invasive, lack surface-spread filamentation, grow slowly, and exhibit impaired cell adhesion. Conversely, overexpression of PUN1 results in exaggerated cell elongation under conditions of nitrogen stress. PUN1 contributes to yeast nitrogen signaling, as pun1D mutants misregulate amino acid biosynthetic genes during nitrogen deprivation. By chromatin immunoprecipitation and RT-PCR, we find that the filamentous growth factor Mss11p directly binds to the PUN1 promoter and regulates its transcription. In total, this study provides the first profile of protein abundance during pseudohyphal growth, identifying a previously uncharacterized MCC protein required for wild-type nitrogen signaling and filamentous growth. For this study, we constructed a homozygous diploid strain in the filamentous ?1278b background deleted for PUN1; a wild-type diploid strain of the same background served as the control. Both strains were grown under conditions of low nitrogen, and RNA was extracted from three biological replicates of each strain after identical culturing. The RNA samples were analyzed using affymerix DNA microarrays.

Project description:In filamentous strains of S. cerevisiae, nitrogen stress elicits a complex morphogenetic program resulting in the transition to a filamentous form of growth. The transcription factors Flo8p and Mss11p are both required for this filamentous growth transition, in that homozygous diploid flo8(delta/delta) and mss11(delta/delta) strains do not undergo filamentation under conditions of nitrogen stress. To identify genes that are regulated either directly or indirectly by the Flo8p and Mss11p transcription factors, we have implemented DNA microarray analysis to profile changes in mRNA levels in homozygous diploid strains of the filamentous (Sigma)1278b genetic background deleted for FLO8 and MSS11, respectively, under conditions of nitrogen stress. The transcriptional profiles will identify genes with altered transcriptional levels in the deletion mutants, serving as a means to identify cellular processes and signaling pathways regulated by Flo8p and Mss11p function. Deletion mutants were constructed using a one-step polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based gene disruption strategy with the G418 resistance cassette from plasmid pFA6a-KanMX6. After the haploid mutants were confirmed via PCR, the strains were allowed to mate on YPD+G418 plates for approximately 20 hours at 30 degrees Celsius. Mated cells were then streaked on SC-Trp-Leu plates to select for Y825 x HLY337 diploids. Yeast transformations were performed according to standard lithium acetate-mediated protocols with modifications. Yeast strains (wild-type and deletion mutants) were cultured under conditions of nitrogen stress (low ammonium media), and RNA was prepared using the Poly(A) Purist kit (Ambion, Austin, TX). RNA concentration and purity were determined spectrophotometrically and by gel electrophoresis. Microarray hybridization was performed with the Yeast Genome S98 Array using standard protocols (Affymetrix, Inc, Santa Clara, CA). Differentially expressed genes were identified by significance analysis of microarrays (SAM). SAM computed a nonparametric score for each gene by dividing the between-group difference of (normalized log) gene expression levels and the within-group difference of gene expression levels. The score was then compared with random permutation scores. The random permutation scores for a gene were computed in the same manner as the original score, but based on randomly sampled gene expressions. If the difference between the original score and the random permutation score was larger than a chosen threshold value, the corresponding change in gene expression was claimed to be significant. Each threshold value corresponded to a false discovery rate (the percentage of genes identified as being significant by chance alone). For all deletion comparisons in this study, we used SAM’s two-class unpaired analysis function, with significance thresholds selected so that the corresponding false discovery rate was 0.

Project description:Complex biological processes are often regulated, at least in part, by the binding of transcription factors to their targets. Recently, considerable effort has been made to analyze the binding of relevant factors to the suite of targets they regulate, thereby generating a regulatory circuit map. However, for most studies the dynamics of binding have not been analyzed and thus the temporal order of events and mechanisms by which this occur are poorly understood. We have globally analyzed in detail the temporal order of binding of several key factors involved in the salt response of yeast to their target genes. Analysis of Yap4 and Sko1 binding to their target genes revealed multiple classes of binding patterns to target genes: 1) constant binding (Yap4 and Sko1 Class 1), 2) rapid induction (Yap4 and Sko1 Class 2) 3) slow induction (Yap4 Class 3) and 4) transient induction (Sko1 Class 3, Yap4 minor binding Class 4). These results demonstrate that individual transcription factors can have multiple binding patterns and help define the different types of temporal binding patterns used in eukaryotic gene regulation. To investigate these binding patterns further, we also analyzed the binding of seven other key transcription factors implicated in osmotic regulation, including Hot1, Msn1, Msn2, Msn4, Skn7 and Yap6, and found significant coassociation among the different factors at their gene targets. Moreover, the binding of several key factors was correlated with distinct classes of Yap4 and Sko1 binding patterns and with distinct types of genes. Correlation of each class with gene expression studies revealed association of Yap4, Sko1 and other transcription factor binding patterns with different gene expression patterns. The integration and analysis of binding and expression information reveals a complex dynamic and hierarchical circuit in which specific combinations of transcription factors target distinct sets of genes at discrete times to coordinate a rapid and important biological response. Yeast was grown in minimal medium to mid-log phase, then salt concentration was raised to 0.6M for various time periods before harvesting. Chromatin from a strain containing myc-labeled transcription factor and from a control strain were processed for chromatin immunoprecipitation, and hybridized to a chromosome-tiling microarray. Yap4 and Sko1 time courses data were normalized across time points using calibration curves derived from ChIP-qPCR data for various chromosomal locations. These calibration data can be obtained from http://archive.gersteinlab.org/proj/yeast_salt/. The same Web site also has the processed form of the data as it was used in the analysis reported in Ni, Bruce et al, (2009, Genes & Development).

Project description:Cdc34 is an essential E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzyme found in nearly all eukaryotes. It contains a highly conserved motif composed of S73/S97/12 amino acid insert near the active site cysteine. This motif is unique to Cdc34/Ubc7 type E2s while other E2s contain K/D/no insert at these positions. To better understand the function of this motif we mutated Cdc34 S73/S97/insert to be K/D/no insert and observed changes in transcript levels in mid-log phase yeast cells. ABSTRACT [Cdc34 is a ubiquitin conjugating enzyme necessary for the ubiquitylation of substrates by the SCF family of ubiquitin ligases. Previous work has shown that the Cdc34 protein is phosphorylated in vivo on serine residues. Cdc34 contains two serines within its catalytic domain, S73 and S97, that together with a 12 amino acid acidic loop, constitute a highly conserved motif (serine, serine, insert) among all members of the Cdc34 family of E2 enzymes. Using phosphospecific antibodies, we show that the essential serine S97 is indeed phosphorylated in vivo. Furthermore, this phosphorylation event is regulated by treatment with pheromone in yeast. Consistently, expression of a Cdc34 mutant lacking this motif (serine, serine, insert) leads to misregulation of the SCF substrates, Sic1, Far1, Cln1 and Cln2 and suppresses the cell cycle arrest brought about by an activated mating pathway. We further explored the function of this motif by microarray analysis and show that the transcripts of nearly the entire Sic1 cluster of co-transcribed genes is altered in a strain the expresses Cdc34 lacking this motif. Our data reveals that this highly conserved motif in Cdc34 and its phosphorylation are important for modulating SCF substrate abundance both transcriptionally and post-transcriptionally.] Experiment Overall Design: The Saccharomyces cerevisiae CDC34tm strain (RRC85, MATÎ±, CDC34tm(NatR)) which is marked by a nourseothricin resistance gene (NatR) and an isogenic wild type strain (DBY2059, MATÎ±, leu2-3, 112) were inoculated from stationary phase cultures into a synthetic defined medium containing 2% dextrose, 0.17% yeast nitrogen base minus amino acids and ammonium sulfate, 0.25% L-glutamine, 0.025% magnesium sulfate and 25.2 mg/L L-Leucine. Four separate cultures of each strain were grown at 30Â°C, allowing between three and four doublings and cells were collected at approximately 8 x 10e6cells/ml. Cells were centrifuged and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen. Total RNA was extracted using a hot acid phenol-chloroform protocol as previously described (Schmitt et al. 1990). RNA quality was verified with OD260/280 readings and a 1.5% agarose gel. An Affymetrix Genechip Scanner 3000 and Affymetrix Yeast 2.0 arrays were used for the microarray.
