A nitrogen source-regulated microprotein confers an alternative mechanism of G1/S transcriptional activation in budding yeast

ABSTRACT: Commitment to cell division at the end of G1 phase, termed Start in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is strongly influenced by nutrient availability. To identify new dominant activators of Start that might operate under different nutrient conditions, we screened a genome-wide ORF overexpression library for genes that bypass a Start arrest caused by absence of the G1 cyclin Cln3 and the transcriptional activator Bck2. We recovered a hypothetical gene YLR053c, renamed NRS1 for Nitrogen-Responsive Start regulator 1, which encodes a poorly characterized 108 amino acid microprotein. Endogenous Nrs1 was nuclear-localized, restricted to poor nitrogen conditions, induced upon mTORC1 inhibition, and cell cycle-regulated with a peak at Start. NRS1 interacted genetically with SWI4 and SWI6, which encode subunits of the main G1/S transcription factor complex SBF. Correspondingly, Nrs1 physically interacted with Swi4 and Swi6 and was localized to G1/S promoter DNA. Nrs1 exhibited inherent transactivation activity and fusion of Nrs1 to the SBF inhibitor Whi5 was sufficient to suppress other Start defects. Nrs1 appears to be a recently evolved microprotein that rewires the G1/S transcriptional machinery under poor nutrient conditions.

LUTI-dependent Downregulation of a Cell Cycle Transcription Factor is Key for Timely Meiotic Entry

Project description:We used RNA-seq to monitor expression of early meiotic genes and expression of mitotic transcription factor SBF targets. Increased SBF activity was achieved through either overexpression of SBF unique subunit Swi4 , removal of LUTI-mediated regulation of Swi4 levels, or nuclear depeletion of negative regulator of SBF Whi5.

DNA damage checkpoint kinases regulate a global network of transcription factors

Project description:DNA damage results in the activation of checkpoint kinases, which phosphorylate downstream effectors that inhibit the cell cycle, activate DNA repair, and cause widespread changes in transcription. However, the specific connections between the checkpoint kinases and downstream transcription factors (TFs) are not well understood. Here, we introduce a strategy for mapping regulatory networks between kinases and TFs involving integration of kinase mutant expression profiles, transcriptional regulatory interactions, and phosphoproteomics. We use this approach to investigate the role of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae checkpoint kinases (Mec1, Tel1, Chk1, Rad53, and Dun1) in the transcriptional response to DNA damage caused by methyl methanesulfonate (MMS). The result is a global kinase-TF regulatory network in which Mec1 and Tel1 signal through Rad53 to synergistically regulate the expression of more than 600 genes. This network implicates at least nine TFs, including Msn4, Gcn4, SBF (Swi4/Swi6), MBF (Swi6/Mbp1), and Fkh2/Ndd1/Mcm1, nearly all of which have sites of Rad53-dependent phosphorylation, as downstream regulators of checkpoint kinase-dependent genes. We also identify a major DNA damage-induced transcriptional network acting independently of Rad53 and other checkpoint kinases to regulate expression of genes involved in general and oxidative stress responses. Expression was profiled with and without MMS treatment in several genetic backgrounds (gene deletion strains).

Dot6 is a major regulator of cell size and a transcriptional activator of ribosome biogenesis in the opportunistic yeast Candida albicans

Project description:In most species, size homeostasis appears to be exerted in late G1 phase as cells commit to division, called Start in yeast and the Restriction Point in metazoans. This size threshold couples cell growth to division and thereby establishes long-term size homeostasis. Our former investigations have shown that hundreds of genes markedly altered cell size under homeostatic growth conditions in the opportunistic yeast Candida albicans, but surprisingly only few of these overlapped with size control genes in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here, we investigated one of the divergent potent size regulators in C. albicans, the Myb-like HTH transcription factor Dot6. Our data demonstrated that Dot6 is a negative regulator of Start and also acts as a transcriptional activator of ribosome biogenesis (Ribi) genes. Genetic epistasis uncovered that Dot6 interacted with the master transcriptional regulator of the G1 machinery, SBF complex, but not with the Ribi and cell size regulators Sch9, Sfp1 and p38/Hog1. Dot6 was required for carbon-source modulation of cell size and it is regulated at the level of nuclear localization by TOR pathway. Our findings support a model where Dot6 acts as a hub that integrate directly growth cues via the TOR pathway to control the commitment to mitotic division at G1.

Localized phosphorylation of RNA Polymerase II by G1 cyclin-Cdk promotes cell cycle entry

Project description:The cell cycle is thought to be initiated by cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdk) inactivating transcriptional inhibitors of cell cycle gene-expression. In budding yeast, the G1 cyclin Cln3-Cdk1 complex is thought to directly phosphorylate Whi5, thereby releasing the transcription factor SBF and committing cells to division. Here, we report that Cln3-Cdk1 does not phosphorylate Whi5, but instead phosphorylates the RNA Polymerase II subunit Rpb1’s C-terminal domain (CTD) on S5 of its heptapeptide repeats. Cln3-Cdk1 binds SBF-regulated promoters(8) and Cln3’s function can be performed by the canonical S5 kinase Ccl1-Kin28 when synthetically recruited to SBF. Thus, Cln3-Cdk1 triggers cell division by phosphorylating Rpb1 at SBF-regulated promoters to promote transcription. Our findings blur the distinction between cell cycle and transcriptional Cdks to highlight the ancient relationship between these processes.

DNA replication stress differentially regulates G1/S genes via Rad53-dependent inactivation of Nrm1

Project description:MBF and SBF transcription factors regulate a large family of coordinately expressed G1/S genes required for early cell-cycle functions including DNA replication and repair. SBF is inactivated upon S-phase entry by Clb/CDK whereas MBF targets are repressed by the co-repressor, Nrm1. Using genome-wide expression analysis of cells treated with methyl methane sulfonate (MMS), hydroxyurea (HU) or camptothecin (CPT), we show that genotoxic stress during S phase specifically induces MBF-regulated genes. This occurs via direct phosphorylation of Nrm1 by Rad53, the effector checkpoint kinase, which prevents its binding to MBF target promoters. We conclude that MBF-regulated genes are distinguished from SBF-regulated genes by their sensitivity to activation by the S-phase checkpoint, thereby, providing an effective mechanism for enhancing DNA replication and repair and promoting genome stability.

Differential regulation of SBF and MBF target genes by genotoxic stress occurs via Rad53-dependent inactivation of the MBF correpressor Nrm1

Project description:MBF and SBF transcription factors regulate a large family of coordinately expressed G1/S genes required for early cell cycle functions including DNA replication and repair. SBF is inactivated upon S phase entry by Clb/CDK whereas MBF targets are repressed by the corepressor, Nrm1. Using genome-wide expression analysis, we show that genotoxic stress during S phase specifically induces MBF-regulated genes via direct phosphorylation of Nrm1 by Rad53, the effector checkpoint kinase, and prevents its binding to MBF target promoters. Interestingly, some previously defined targets of SBF, including Swe1, are activated by replication stress. Swe1 undergoes a transcription factor exchange leading to its repression by Nrm1/MBF, which renders it sensitive to derepression by the S phase checkpoint. We conclude that MBF-regulated genes are distinguished from SBF-regulated genes by their sensitivity to activation by the S phase checkpoint, thereby, providing an effective mechanism for enhancing DNA replication and repair and promoting genome stability. Modified Loop Time-series design, time points at 0, 30, 45, 60 and 75 minutes. Conditions are untreated (UT), methyl methane sulfonate (MMS-0.033%), camptothecin (CPT-50uM), and hydroxyurea (HU-0.2M)
