Project description:Transcription initiation involves the coordinated activities of large multimeric complexes that are organized into functional modules. Little is known about the mechanisms and pathways that govern their assembly from individual components. We report here several principles governing the assembly of the highly conserved SAGA and NuA4 co-activator complexes. Using fission yeast, which contain two functionally non-redundant paralogs of the shared Tra1 subunit, we demonstrate that Tra1 contributes to scaffolding the entire NuA4 complex. In contrast, within SAGA, Tra1 specifically promotes the incorporation of the de-ubiquitination module (DUB), defining an ordered assembly pathway. Biochemical and functional analyses elucidated the mechanism by which Tra1 assemble differentially into SAGA or NuA4 and identified a small, conserved region of Spt20 that is both necessary and sufficient to anchor Tra1 within SAGA. Finally, we establish that Hsp90 and its cochaperone TTT are required for Tra1 de novo incorporation into both SAGA and NuA4, indicating that Tra1, a pseudokinase of the PIKK family, shares a dedicated chaperone machinery with its cognate kinases. Overall, our work brings mechanistic insights into the de novo assembly of transcriptional complexes through ordered pathways and reveals the contribution of dedicated chaperones to this process.

Project description:Tra1 is a component of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae SAGA and NuA4 complexes and a member of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) related kinase family that contain a C- terminal PI3K domain followed by a ~ 35-residue FATC domain. We have characterized four alleles with single residue changes in the FATC domain. Of these tra1-L3733A had the most pronounced effects with phenotypes including temperature and cold sensitivity, and reduced growth in media containing ethanol, Calcofluor white, rapamycin, chloramphenicol and geneticin. Tra1-L3733A interacted at normal levels with components of the NuA4 and SAGA complexes, and did not significantly alter histone acetylation patterns. The tra1-L3733A allele resulted in two-fold or greater change in expression of approximately 11% of yeast genes in rich media. Of the 279 genes with increased expression, 175 were ribosomal subunits or involved in ribosomal function or biogenesis. Elevated levels of Pol I and Pol III transcripts were also observed. The phenotypes of the tra1-L3733A overlapped with but were not identical to strains containing deletions of SAGA or NuA4 components or with strains containing mutations in the PI3K domain. Our finding that the double mutant allele, tra1-SRR3413/L3733A with alterations in the PI3K and FATC domains, resulted in wild type growth, suggests a model whereby the FATC domain negatively regulates the activity of the PI3K domain. Expression of genes involved in ribosome biosynthesis, other than the ribosomal subunits themselves, returned to near normal levels in the double mutant strain. We also characterized tra1-G3745, which contains an additional glycine residue following the normal C-terminal phenylalanine. This allele did not support viability and showed severe dominant negative effects. In contrast to what was observed for tra1-L3733A, tra1-G4745 resulted in decreased expression of genes required for ribosome biogenesis and did not interact with Esa1 or Spt7. Three biological replicate experiments including one dye-swap were performed for yeast strains CY3003(TRA1::Tn10LUK with IB150(myc9-tra1_L3733A-YCplac111)) and CY3015(TRA1::Tn10LUK with IB157(myc9-tra1_SRR3413_L3733A-YCplac111)) with reference to CY2706(TRA1::Tn10LUK with 1980(myc9-TRA1-YCplac111)). Similarly, three biological replicate experiments including one dye-swap were performed for yeast strain CY3019(TRA1::Tn10LUK with 1259(myc-TRA1-YCplac111) and IB162(myc9-tra1_G3745-YCplac111)) with reference to CY3020(TRA1::Tn10LUK with 1259(myc-TRA1-YCplac111) and IB160(myc9-TRA1-YCplac111)).

Project description:The emergence of drug-resistant fungal strains is a threat to human health. Identifying targets that increase the susceptibility of fungal pathogens to current therapies will significantly improve outcomes. Tra1 is an essential component of the SAGA and NuA4 transcriptional co-activator complexes and is linked to multiple cellular processes associated with the yeast response to antifungal drugs. This submission contains RNA sequencing data from Candida albicans strain expressing a Tra1 mutant with three arginine to glutamine mutations in the PI3K domain (tra1Q3; Berg et al., 2018) treated with or without the antifungal caspofungin. Our goal was to identify genes regulated by Tra1 in C. albicans and identify genes with differential responses in the mutant tra1 strain upon capsofungin relative to the wild-type strain. We identified 68 genes that were differentially expressed when the tra1Q3 strain was treated with caspofungin, as compared to gene expression changes induced by either tra1Q3 or caspofungin alone. Included in this set were genes involved in cell wall maintenance, adhesion and filamentous growth. As a critical component of both SAGA and NuA4, Tra1 is uniquely positioned to regulate the yeast antifungal response and emerges, through targeting its PI3K domain, as a promising new therapeutic target for fungal infections.

Project description:Tra1 is an essential component of the S. cerevisiae SAGA and NuA4 complexes. Using targeted mutagenesis, we identified residues within its C-terminal phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) domain that are required for function. The phenotype of tra1-P3408A, S3463A and SRR3413-3415AAA included temperature sensitivity and reduced growth in media containing 6% ethanol or aminotriazole. These alleles resulted in ≥2-fold change in expression of ~7% of yeast genes in rich media and reduced activation of PHO5 and ADH2 promoters. Tra1-SRR3413 associated with components of both the NuA4 and SAGA complexes and with the Gal4 transcriptional activation domain similar to wild-type protein. Tra1-SRR3413 resulted in a decreased ratio of acetylated histone H3 and H4 to total histone H3 at the PHO5 promoter that appeared largely due to increased unacetylated histone. Slow growth of a tra1-SRR3413 strain in aminotriazole was suppressed by deletion of Vps1 and the Vps1 interacting protein, Rad16. In addition, ethanol sensitivity was suppressed by loss of Vam3, suggesting that Tra1 is involved with protein trafficking and membrane sorting. Furthermore, tra1-SRR3413 results in generation dependent telomere shortening. While the tra1 alleles have some phenotypic similarities with deletions of SAGA and/or NuA4 components, the pattern of gene expression, genetic interactions and telomere shortening suggest possible novel functions for the PI3K-domain of Tra1.

Project description:Tra1 is a component of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae SAGA and NuA4 complexes and a member of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase kinase family that contain a C-terminal PI3K domain followed by a 35-residue FATC domain. We analyzed alleles with single residue changes in the FATC domain. Of these tra1-L3733A had the most pronounced effects, resulting in phenotypes similar but not identical to those resulting from mutations in the PI3K domain or SAGA or NuA4 components. To analyze the transcriptional effects of the tra1-L3733A allele, we performed gene profiling of wild-type and tra1-L3733A strains. Expression of 11 genes was elevated ≥ 2-fold, 79 genes were decreased ≥ 2-fold. Of the 11 genes with elevated expression, four (HSP26, PIR3, DDR2 and GRE1) have roles in cellular stress response. The only gene ontology process significantly enriched in the genes with decreased expression greater than 2-fold was lysine biosynthesis (GO: 0009085). Broader analysis of gene ontology processes revealed expression of genes involved in cellular respiration (GO:0045333) and the overlapping process generation of precursor metabolites and energy (GO: 0006091) showed an average upward shift of ~10% relative to the total collection of genes. A similar trend of less magnitude was seen for vitamin metabolic processes (GO:0006766). A slight downward shift was seen for genes involved in translation (GO:0006412) and membrane organization (GO:0016044). Examination of gene expression changes in tra1-L3733A

Project description:ESA1 (essential SAS-family acetyltransferase) is the only known yeast histone acetyltransferase (HAT) required for cell viability. It is a member of the MYST (MOZ, YBF2/SAS3, SAS2, Tip60) family of HAT proteins and contains a conserved acetyltransferase domain in addition to a chromodomain. While ESA1âs HAT activity is important in processes such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repair, acetylation is likely not its essential function. Our lab has shown that mutants with a single point mutation in the active site cysteine are still viable even though their acetyltransferase abilities are abolished. Furthermore, chromatin immunoprecipitation assays have shown ESA1 distributed evenly along the length of chromatin, not localized to specific promoters as would be expected from a HAT protein involved in transcriptional regulation. As is the case for other HAT proteins, ESA1âs acetyltransferase activity is significant, but in processes such as DNA replication, DNA repair and cell cycle progression. The aim of this project is to determine the essential function of ESA1 - the catalytic subunit of the yeast HAT complex, NuA4 (nucleosome acetyltransferase of H4) â using a bypass suppression screen to identify suppressors of ESA1. It is proposed that suppressing mutations will alter a gene involved in the process that is the essential function of ESA1. Thus, identifying a suppressor that can bypass the need for ESA1 may provide insight into its essential function. Since ESA1 is an essential gene, a haploid esa1â strain in which wild-type ESA1 is provided on a centromeric plasmid was utilized. The bypass suppression screen resulted in suppressors of ESA1 that allowed esa1â cells to be viable even in the absence of the essential gene. These second site suppressors (sup-) of ESA1 each show the Mendelian segregation pattern of the suppressing gene and ESA1 in 2:2 ratios, implying they are single genes unlinked to ESA1. Microarray and nuclear morphology studies show abnormal gene expression and morphology of the esa1ï sup- cells, further implicating the suppressing mutation in DNA repair and replication processes. Investigating ESA1âs essential role and a probable conservation of function across species can provide a deeper understanding of the capabilities of HAT complexes. Experiment Overall Design: Eight samples were analyzed. The only variables are the ESA1 and SUP2 genes. WT (ESA1 SUP2), 2 replicates. Single mutant (ESA1 sup2-), 3 replicates. Double mutant (esa1 sup2-), 3 replicates.
