Project description:To better understand the pathophysiology of galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) deficiency in humans, we studied the mechanisms by which a GALT-deficient yeast survived on galactose medium. Under normal conditions, GALT-deficient yeast cannot grow in medium that contains 0.2% galactose as the sole carbohydrate, a phenotype of Gal(-). We isolated revertants from a GALT-deficient yeast by direct selection for growth in galactose, a phenotype of Gal(+). Comparison of gene expression profiles among wild-type and revertant strains on galactose medium revealed that the revertant down-regulated genes encoding enzymes including galactokinase, galactose permease, and UDP-galactose-4-epimerase (the GAL regulon). By contrast, the revertant strain up-regulated the gene for UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, UGP1. There was reduced accumulation of galactose-1-phosphate in the galactose-grown revertant cells when compared to the GALT-deficient parent cells.

Project description:In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a single double-strand break (DSB) triggers extensive phosphorylation of histone H2A (known as gammaH2AX) over 50 kb on either side of the DSB. This modification is carried out by either of yeastM-^Rs checkpoint kinases, the ATM homolog, Tel1, or the ATR homolog, Mec1. In G1-arrested cells, where there is very little 5M-^R to 3M-^R processing of DSB ends, only Tel1 promotes this modification. We have recently described a second modification gammaH2B - the phosphorylation of the C terminal T129 locus of histone H2B which is also carried out by both Mec1 and Tel1 kinases. To understand in detail how gamma-H2AX and gamma-H2B spread along the chromosome from a DSB we have undertaken a high-density analysis of their occupancy where there is a DSB on three different chromosomes. gamma-H2AX and gamma-H2B modifications are similar, but there is a marked absence of gamma-H2B near telomeres. We find that there is reduced gamma-H2AX and gamma-H2B modification over strongly transcribed regions, even taking into account the reduced histone occupancy of these genes. When transcription of the galactose-regulated genes GAL1, GAL10, GAL7 are turned off by the addition of glucose, gamma-H2AX is restored within 5 min; when these genes are again induced, gamma-H2AX is rapidly lost. Regions more distal to the GAL genes have markedly reduced gamma-H2AX levels that rise rapidly when transcription is repressed, suggesting that transcription acts as a barrier to the propagation of gamma-H2AX away from the DSB. The restoration of gamma-H2AX in transcribed regions can be carried out by either Mec1 or Tel1, even 7 h after break induction, suggesting that Tel1 remains associated with damaged chromosomes for an extended time. In addition, we show that gamma-H2AX can be transferred in trans, to regions unlinked to the DSB that lie in close proximity the DSB. Specifically, if a DSB is generated 14 kb from CEN2, gamma-H2AX is transferred to regions around all the other centromeres, in keeping with observed close proximity of all centromere-adjacent chromosome arms. This transfer can be observed even in the absence of formaldehyde crosslinking of the samples.

Project description:The Ubiquitin-Proteasome System (UPS) regulates many cellular processes in eukaryotic cells. Ubiquitylation by the UPS mainly directs proteins to proteasomal degradation, but it can also have non-degradative functions, such as regulating protein activity or localization. The small protein ubiquitin is conjugated to its substrates via a cascade of E1-E2-E3 enzymes. Dysregulation of the UPS has been implicated in the genesis and progression of many diseases, such as neurodegenerative diseases and cancer; thus, the UPS components are attractive targets for developing pharmaceutical drugs. E2s, or ubiquitin conjugating enzymes, are central players of the UPS. E2s function in tandem with specific ubiquitin ligases (E3s) to transfer ubiquitin to substrates. Here, we present the first proteome stability analysis of two closely related ubiquitin conjugating enzymes, UBC4 and UBC5, in S. cerevisiae. These two E2s are nearly identical, having 92% sequence identity and differing by only 11 amino acid residues. This dataset is of broad interest because higher eukaryotes express ubiquitin conjugating enzymes that are analogous to the yeast UBC4/5.

Project description:The pattern of gene transcription in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is strongly affected by the presence of glucose. An increased activity of protein kinase A (PKA), triggered by a rise in the intracellular concentration of cAMP, can account for many of the effects of glucose on transcription. To investigate the requirement of PKA for glucose control of gene expression, we have analyzed global transcription in strains devoid of PKA activity. In S. cerevisiae three genes, TPK1, TPK2, TPK3, encode catalytic subunits of PKA and the triple mutant tpk1 tpk2 tpk3 is unviable. We have worked, therefore, with two strains, tpk1 tpk2 tpk3 yak1 and tpk1 tpk2 tpk3 msn2 msn4, that bear suppressor mutations,. We have identified different classes of genes that can be induced, or repressed, by glucose in the absence of PKA. Among these genes, some are also controlled by a redundant signalling pathway involving PKA activation, while others do not respond to an increase in cAMP concentration. On the other hand, among genes which do not respond to glucose in the absence of PKA, some show a full response to increased cAMP levels, even in the absence of glucose, while others appear to require the cooperation of different signalling pathways. The goal of the present study was to investigate the occurrence of PKA-independent glucose signalling in S. cerevisiae. To this end, we have used global transcription analysis to study the effects of glucose on yeast strains completely devoid of PKA activity. In S. cerevisiae three genes TPK1, TPK2,and TPK3 encode catalytic subunits of PKA. While strains expressing only one of these genes grow normally, a triple null mutant (tpk1 tpk2 tpk3) is not viable (Toda et al 1987). Identification of different mutations able to suppress the growth defect of the triple mutant (Garrett and Broach 1989, Reinders et al 1998, Smith et al 1998) has allowed to determine what is the crucial function of PKA. As shown in Fig.1, PKA is needed to counteract the negative effect of the protein kinase Yak1 on yeast growth (Hartley et al 1994, Moriya et al 2001). In the presence of PKA the protein kinase Rim15 (Reinders et al 1998) and the transcription factors Msn2 and Msn4 (Görner et al 1998) can be phosphorylated and exported to the cytoplasm, transcription of the YAK1 gene, which is activated by Msn2/Msn4 (Smith et al 1998), is reduced, Yak1 levels remain low and growth is not hindered. In the absence of PKA, Rim15 remains in the nucleus where it can activate Msn2/Msn4 (Cameroni et al 2004) that turn on YAK1 transcription, thus blocking growth. This explains why strains lacking Rim15, Msn2/Msn4 or Yak1 no longer require PKA for growth. In this work we have used two isogenic strains lacking PKA and carrying the suppressor mutations msn2 msn4 or yak1. Two different suppressor mutants were used with the aim to enable a dissection of effects of the lack of PKA and effects of the suppressor mutations themselves.

Project description:Cell division is a highly regulated process that secures the generation of healthy progeny in all organisms, from yeast to human. Dysregulation of this process can lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation and genomic instability, both which are hallmarks of cancer. Cell cycle progression is dictated by a complex network of kinases and phosphatases. These enzymes act on their substrates in a highly specific temporal manner ensuring that the process of cell division is unidirectional and irreversible. Key events of the cell cycle, such as duplication of genetic material and its redistribution to daughter cells, occur in S-phase and mitosis, respectively. Deciphering the dynamics of phosphorylation/dephosphorylation events during these cell cycle phases is important. Here we showcase a quantitative proteomic and phosphoproteomic mass spectrometry dataset that profiles both early and late phosphorylation events and associated proteome alterations that occur during S-phase and mitotic arrest in the model organism S. cerevisiae. This dataset is of broad interest as the molecular mechanisms governing cell cycle progression are conserved throughout evolution.

Project description:The goal of these experiments was to define the targets of Ty3 transposition in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Ty3 is a retroviruslike element that is found at the transcription initiation site of chromosomal tRNA genes. A Ty3 that can be induced by growth in galactose-containing medium and which was marked by an insertion of HIS3 downstream of the second open reading frame of the element (POL3) was induced to undergo transposition by plating cells onto galactose containing medium and replica-plating onto medium selective for cells that had undergone transposition. These cells were collected, DNA was extracted, and inverse PCR was performed using primers inside the Ty3 element in order to generate a library of insertion sites flanked by Illumina sequence-compatible primers.

Project description:The expression of plant defensins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been shown to increase tolerance to Zn of yeast (Mirouze et al., 2006; Shahzad et al., 2013). The present transcriptomic approach has been conducted to uncover the mechanism underlying this phenotype. WT yeast was compared to yeast expressing the AhPFF1.1b plant defensin when grown in both control medium and medium supplemented with 20 mM ZnSO4. 4 conditions with 2 biological replicates compared: control yeast (BY4741) grown on control medium, control yeast grown in the presence of 20 mM ZnSO4, yeast expressing the AhPDF1.1b defensin grown in control medium, yeast expressing the AhPDF1.1b defensin grown in the presence of 20 mM ZnSO4

Project description:PINA is a novel ATPase and DNA helicase highly conserved in archaea, the third domain of life. The PINA from Sulfolobus islandicus (SisPINA) forms a hexameric ring, promotes Holliday junction (HJ) migration, and physically and functionally interacts with Hjc, the HJ specific endonuclease. Here, we show that SisPINA has strong physical interaction with Hjm (Hel308a), a helicase presumably targeting replication forks. In vitro biochemical analysis revealed that Hjm, Hjc, and SisPINA are able to coordinate HJ migration and cleavage in a concerted way. Deletion of the carboxyl 13 amino acid residues abolishes the interaction between SisPINA and Hjm. Crystal structure analysis showed that the carboxyl 70 amino acid residues fold into a type II KH domain which, in other proteins, functions in binding RNA and ssDNA. The KH domain not only mediates the interactions of PINA with Hjm and Hjc but also regulates the hexameric assembly of PINA. Our results collectively suggest possible mechanisms for SisPINA, Hjm, and Hjc to work together in replication fork regression, HJ formation, and HJ cleavage.
