Data-driven identification of inherent features of eukaryotic stress-responsive genes

ABSTRACT: Virtually all living organisms are challenged by changes in their environment, such as sudden increases in osmolarity. To survive, cells have developed stress-responsive mechanisms that tune functions such as metabolism and gene expression. The response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to osmostress includes a massive reprogramming of gene expression. Identifying the inherent features of stress-responsive genes is of significant interest for understanding the basic principles underlying the rewiring of gene expression upon stress. Here we generated a comprehensive catalog of osmotress-responsive genes from 5 independent RNA-seq experiments. We explored 30 features of yeast genes and found that 25 (83.34%) were distinct in osmostress-responsive genes. We then identified a subset of 13 non-redundant minimal osmostress gene traits and used statistical modeling to generate a ranking of the most stress-predictive features. Our findings reveal that the most relevant features of osmostress-responsive genes are the number of transcription factors targeting a gene and gene conservation. The same features that define yeast osmostress-responsive genes can also be used to predict osmostress-responsive genes in humans, although the most predictive features in humans are GC content and mRNA half-life. Our study provides a holistic understanding of the basic principles of the regulation of stress-responsive gene expression across eukaryotes.

Hog1 bypasses stress-mediated down-regulation of transcription by PolII redistribution and chromatin remodeling

Project description:Cells are subjected to dramatic changes on gene expression upon environmental changes. Stress causes a general down-regulation of gene expression together with the induction of a set of stress-responsive genes. Genome wide localisation studies showed major changes on Pol II localisation towards stress-responsive genes in contrast to housekeeping genes. Pol II relocalisation requires of the Hog1 SAPK, which also associates at stress-responsive loci. Chromatin structure was not significantly altered upon stress except for those genes that displayed Hog1 association. Together, Hog1 serves to bypass the general down-regulation of gene expression by targeting RNA Pol II machinery and inducing chromatin remodeling at stress-responsive loci. Hog1 and Pol II ChIP-Seq and Mnase-Seq experiments in both strains WT and Hog1 mutant, for 2 conditions: Exposed and not exposed to osmostress

Gene expression analysis using RNA Sequencing of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae HTA1-S121A strain upon thermo and osmotic stress.

Project description:To study the relevance of the post-translational modification in the H2A histone residue S121, we assessed the genome-wide transcriptional response of the non-phosphorylatable histone mutant HTA1-S121A (H2AS121A) upon two different stress conditions; osmostress and heat shock. Results point out that the unphosphorylatable H2AS121A protein showed an impaired stress responsive gene expression indicating that this specific histone residue plays a relevant role in stress responsive transcriptional regulation.

The yeast osmostress response is carbon source dependent

Project description:Adaptation to altered osmotic conditions is a fundamental property of living cells and has been studied in particular detail in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Yeast cells accumulate glycerol as compatible solute, controlled at different levels by the High Osmolarity Glycerol (HOG) response pathway. Up to now, essentially all osmostress studies in yeast have been performed with glucose as carbon and energy source, which is metabolised by glycolysis with glycerol is as a normal by-product. Here we investigated the response of yeast to osmotic stress when yeast is respiring ethanol as carbon and energy source. Remarkably, yeast cells do not accumulate glycerol under these conditions and it appears that trehalose may partly take over the role as compatible solute. The HOG pathway is activated in very much the same way as in during growth on glucose medium and is also required for osmotic adaptation. Slower volume recovery was observed in ethanol-grown cells as compared to glucose-grown cells. Dependence on key regulators as well as the global gene expression profile were similar in many ways to those previously observed in glucose-grown cells. However, there are indications that cells re-arrange redox-metabolism when respiration is hampered under osmostress, a feature that could not be observed in glucose-grown cells.

Study of ribosome dynamics after osmotic stress in Lsm1 and Pat1 deletions

Project description:In this study, we aim to understand how the fates of stress-activated mRNAs are determined under stress conditions by isolating individual osmostress-activated mRNA species, quantitating the proteins associated in vivo with each of them, and analyzing how deletion of these proteins impact on the expression of stress-activated genes. By comparison with the proteome associated with individual not stress-related mRNA species, we show specific proteins to be preferentially binding to osmostress-activated mRNAs, notably members of the cytoplasmic Pat1 / Lsm1 – 7 complex. We evaluated the impact of this complex on the stress response by analyzing expression of osmostress-activated genes, production of osmo-protein and, mapping ribosome transit at single nucleotide resolution using 5’-phosphate sequencing of mRNAs in lsm1 and pat1 mutants. We conclude that our biochemical co-purification approach has successfully identified RNA-binding proteins with a particular role in regulating post-transcriptional expression of stress-activated mRNAs.

HIRA, a Conserved Histone Chaperone, Plays an Essential Role in Low-dose Stress Response via Transcriptional Stimulation in Fission Yeast

Project description:Cells that have been pre-exposed to mild stress (priming stress) acquire transient resistance to subsequent severe stress even under different combinations of stresses. This phenomenon is called cross-tolerance. Although it has been reported that cross-tolerance occurs in many organisms, the molecular basis is not clear yet. Here, we identified slm9+ as a responsible gene for the cross-tolerance in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Slm9 is a homolog of mammalian HIRA histone chaperone. HIRA forms a conserved complex and gene disruption of other HIRA complex components, Hip1, Hip3, and Hip4, also yielded a cross-tolerance-defective phenotype, indicating that the fission yeast HIRA is involved in the cross-tolerance as a complex. We also revealed that Slm9 was recruited to the stress-responsive gene loci upon stress treatment in an Atf1-dependent manner. The expression of stress-responsive genes under stress conditions was compromised in HIRA disruptants. Consistent with this, Pol II recruitment and nucleosome eviction at these gene loci were impaired in slm9D cells. Furthermore, we found that the priming stress enhanced the expression of stress-responsive genes in wild-type cells that were exposed to the severe stress. These observations suggest that HIRA functions in stress response through transcriptional regulation. To determine whether fission yeast HIRA specifically regulates stress-responsive genes under stress condition, we performed genome-wide analysis by using Affymetrix GeneChip oligonucleotide microarrays.

Proteome-wide effects of single gene perturbations

Project description:Protein expression levels are controlled at the transcriptional, translational and post-translational level and their regulatory principles are starting to emerge. While transcriptional outcomes, which are commonly also used as a proxy for protein abundance, have been investigated on a larger scale, the study of translational output requires large-scale proteomics data. However, data for proteome alterations by systematic assessment of knockouts genome-wide is not available yet. We here determined the individual proteome changes for 3,308 non-essential genes in the yeast S. pombe. We observed that genes with high proteome remodeling are predominantly involved in gene expression regulation, in particular acting as translational regulators. Focusing on those knockout strains with a large number of altered proteins, we performed paired transcriptome/proteome measurements to uncover translational regulators and features of translational regulation. Furthermore, by similarity clustering of these proteome changes, we infer gene functionality that can be extended to other species such as human or baker’s yeast.

CX-MS of TFIIH and Def1 complex

Project description:The DNA damage response is an essential process for the survival of living cells. In a subset of stress-responsive genes in humans,Elongin controls transcription in response to multiple stimuli, such as DNA damage, oxidative stress, and heat shock. Yeast Elongin (Ela1-Elc1), along with Def1, is known to facilitate ubiquitylation and degradation of RNA polymerase II (pol II) in response tomultiple stimuli, yet transcription activity has not been examined. We have found that Def1 copurifies from yeast whole-cell extract with TFIIH,the largest general transcription factor required for transcription initiation and nucleotide excision repair. The addition of recombinant Def1 and Ela1-Elc1 enhanced transcription initiation in an in vitro reconstituted system including pol II, the general transcription factors, and TFIIS. Def1 also enhanced transcription restart from TFIIS-induced cleavage in a pol II transcribing complex. In the Δdef1 strain, heat shock genes were misregulated, indicating that Def1 is required for induction of some stress-responsive genes in yeast. Taken together, our results extend the understanding of the molecular mechanism of transcription regulation on cellular stress and reveal functional similarities to the mammalian system.
