Transcription profiling of fission yeast meiosis and sporulation

ABSTRACT: Fission yeast cells undergo meiosis and sporulation under conditions of nutritional stress, most frequently nitrogen starvation. This is a complex developmental process, which results in the formation of four spores that are highly resistant to environmental stress. We have carried out time course experiments with diploid fission yeast cells undergoing meiosis and sporulation. In this experiment we have used wild type diploids, and induced meiosis by removal of nitrogen from the medium. As a reference we used a pool consisting of equal amount of RNA from all time points of the experiments. This experiment is part of a series, with accession numbers E-SNGR-2 to E-SNGR-7.

Sexual reproduction requires meiosis to produce haploid gametes, which in turn can fuse to regenerate a diploid organism. We have studied the transcriptional program that drives this developmental process in Schizosaccharomyces pombe using DNA microarrays. Here we show that hundreds of genes are regulated in successive waves of transcription that correlate with major biological events of meiosis and sporulation. Each wave is associated with specific promoter motifs. Clusters of neighboring genes ...[more]

Project description:Ray2013 - S.cerevisiae meiosis-specific metabolic network Meiosis is a strongly concerved cell division program that generates haploid gametes from a diploid parental cell. Successful meiosis is the fundamental basis of sexual reproduction. Multiple lines of evidence suggest a tight link between meiosis and metabolism. Here, yeast meiosis is studied to elucidate the link between reproduction and metabolism. Network flux is obtained using GLPK (GNU Linear Programming Kit) supported by the COBRA Toolbox for Matlab. This model is described in the article: Characterization of the metabolic requirements in yeast meiosis. Ray D, Ye P. PLoS One. 2013 May 8;8(5):e63707. Abstract: The diploid yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae undergoes mitosis in glucose-rich medium but enters meiosis in acetate sporulation medium. The transition from mitosis to meiosis involves a remarkable adaptation of the metabolic machinery to the changing environment to meet new energy and biosynthesis requirements. Biochemical studies indicate that five metabolic pathways are active at different stages of sporulation: glutamate formation, tricarboxylic acid cycle, glyoxylate cycle, gluconeogenesis, and glycogenolysis. A dynamic synthesis of macromolecules, including nucleotides, amino acids, and lipids, is also observed. However, the metabolic requirements of sporulating cells are poorly understood. In this study, we apply flux balance analyses to uncover optimal principles driving the operation of metabolic networks over the entire period of sporulation. A meiosis-specific metabolic network is constructed, and flux distribution is simulated using ten objective functions combined with time-course expression-based reaction constraints. By systematically evaluating the correlation between computational and experimental fluxes on pathways and macromolecule syntheses, the metabolic requirements of cells are determined: sporulation requires maximization of ATP production and macromolecule syntheses in the early phase followed by maximization of carbohydrate breakdown and minimization of ATP production in the middle and late stages. Our computational models are validated by in silico deletion of enzymes known to be essential for sporulation. Finally, the models are used to predict novel metabolic genes required for sporulation. This study indicates that yeast cells have distinct metabolic requirements at different phases of meiosis, which may reflect regulation that realizes the optimal outcome of sporulation. Our meiosis-specific network models provide a framework for an in-depth understanding of the roles of enzymes and reactions, and may open new avenues for engineering metabolic pathways to improve sporulation efficiency.
