Project description:Ubiquitination is a reversible protein modification involved in various cellular processes in eukaryotic cells. Deubiquitinating enzymes, the proteins responsible for the removal of ubiquitin, act as essential regulators to maintain ubiquitin homeostasis and to exquisitely regulate protein degradation via the ubiquitination pathway. Cryptococcus neoformans is an important basidiomycete pathogen that causes life-threatening meningoencephalitis primarily within the immunocompromised population. In order to understand the possible influence deubiquitinating enzymes have on growth and virulence of the model pathogenic yeast Cryptococcus neoformans, we generated deletion mutants of 7 putative deubiquitinase genes. Compared to other deubiquitinating enzyme mutants, a ubp5M-bM-^HM-^F mutant exhibited severely attenuated virulence and many distinct phenotypes, including decreased capsule formation, hypomelanization, defective sporulation, and elevated sensitivity to several external stressors (such as high temperature, oxidative and nitrosative stresses, high salts, and antifungal agents). Ubp5 appears to be the major deubiquitinating enzyme in C. neoformans for maintaining a pool of free ubiquitin for stress responses, supports the evolutionary divergence of Cryptococcus sp. from the model yeast S. cerevisiae, and provides an important paradigm for understanding the potential role of deubiquitination in virulence by other pathogenic fungi. In addition, other putative deubiquitinase mutants (doa4M-bM-^HM-^F and ubp13M-bM-^HM-^F) exhibit similar phenotypes to the ubp5M-bM-^HM-^F mutant, illustrating possible functional overlap among deubiquitinating enzymes in C. neoformans. Certain functioning deubiquitinating enzymes are essential for the virulence composite of C. neoformans and provide an additional yeast survival and propagation advantage in the host. In this study, transcription profiles of ubp5 mutant and WT Cryptococcus neoformans strains were compared in a dye-swap experiment following 1hr exposure to either 30C or 37C.

Project description:Alternative mRNA isoforms and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) make up a large fraction of the transcriptome and play key functions in cell-fate programming. These transcripts often initiate upstream of coding gene promoters from alternative transcription start sites (TSS) where they can regulate gene expression in cis through transcription-coupled chromatin alterations. How, when and where transcription of alternative cis-acting RNAs regulates local gene expression remains poorly understood. Here, we use a high-resolution quantitative approach to study alternative TSS and transcript end site (TES) usage during three different cell fate transitions in yeast: entry into gametogenesis, commitment to meiotic divisions and return to vegetative growth. We propose that an alternative transcriptome of mRNA isoforms and lncRNAs shapes local gene expression during cell fate transitions. Hence, changes in the types and proportions of different RNAs transcribed at a locus are important inputs for gene expression at distinct stages of development.
