SUL1 deficiency reduces PKA activity to increase replicative lifespan in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae

ABSTRACT: The process of sulfate uptake plays a crucial role in cellular metabolism and growth. SUL1, a plasma membrane transporter responsible for regulating the entry of extracellular sulfate in S. cerevisiae. Our previous work verified SUL1 as a fundamental gene involved in the regulation of lifespan. This study aimed to undertake a more comprehensive analysis of the role of SUL1 in regulating longevity. Our data showed that that sulfate transport is not required for the effect of SUL1 deletion on increased longevity. The SUL1 mutant demonstrates decreased functionality within the PKA signaling pathway, resulting in a variety of effects, such as increased stress-protective trehalose and glycogen, enhanced autophagy, elevated expression of stress response genes, and reduced expression of ribosomal genes. Concurrently, the observed increase in lifespan resulting from the deletion of SUL1 may be partially attributed to the stimulation of autophagy and MSN2-mediated transcriptional activity. The findings of this study provide additional evidence for the association between sulfate transporter and longevity, thereby identifying a novel potential intervention target for extending lifespan.

Differential paralog divergence modulates evolutionary outcomes in yeast

Project description:Evolutionary outcomes depend not only on the selective forces acting upon a species, but also on the genetic background. However, large timescales and uncertain historical selection pressures can make it difficult to discern such important background differences between species. Experimental evolution is one tool to compare evolutionary potential of known genotypes in a controlled environment. Here we utilized a highly reproducible evolutionary adaptation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to investigate whether experimental evolution of other yeast species would select for similar adaptive mutations. We evolved populations of S. cerevisiae, S. paradoxus, S. mikatae, S. uvarum, and interspecific hybrids between S. uvarum and S. cerevisiae for 200-500 generations in sulfate-limited continuous culture. Wild-type S. cerevisiae cultures invariably amplify the high affinity sulfate transporter gene, SUL1. However, while amplification of the SUL1 locus was detected in S. paradoxus and S. mikatae populations, S. uvarum cultures instead selected for amplification of the paralog, SUL2. We measured the relative fitness of strains bearing deletions and amplifications of both SUL genes from different species, confirming that, converse to S. cerevisiae, S. uvarum SUL2 contributes more to fitness in sulfate limitation than S. uvarum SUL1. By measuring the fitness and gene expression of chimeric promoter-ORF constructs, we were able to delineate the cause of this differential fitness effect primarily to the promoter of S. uvarum SUL1. Our data show evidence of differential sub-functionalization among the sulfur transporters across Saccharomyces species through recent changes in noncoding sequence. Furthermore, these results show a clear example of how such background differences due to paralog divergence can drive changes in genome evolution.

Tracking the dynamics and diversity of segmental amplification in evolving populations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:Population adaptation to strong selection can occur through the sequential or parallel accumulation of competing beneficial mutations. The dynamics, diversity and rate of fixation of beneficial mutations within and between populations are still poorly understood. To study the changes in the mutational landscape across populations during adaptation, we performed experimental evolutions on seven parallel populations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae continuously cultured in limiting sulfate medium. By combining qPCR, array CGH, restriction, digestion and CHEF gels, and whole genome sequencing, we followed the trajectory of evolution to determine the identity and fate of beneficial mutations. Over a period of 200 generations, the yeast populations displayed parallel evolutionary dynamics that are driven by the coexistence of independent beneficial mutations. Segmental amplifications are rapidly gained under this selective pressure, including, common inverted amplifications containing the sulfate transporter gene SUL1. Detailed analysis of the populations uncovers a deep complexity where by multiple subpopulations arise and compete with each another. The most common trajectories to adaptation in these populations are incomplete soft sweeps, with adaptive variants replacing one another. These are CGH arrays. Each experiment compares the DNA content of an experimentally evolved strain with its ancestor.

mRNA profile in DR-related mutants

Project description:Dietary restriction (DR) extends lifespan in a wide variety of species, yet the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Here we show that the Caenorhabditis elegans HNF4α-related nuclear hormone receptor NHR-62 is required for metabolic and physiologic responses associated with DR-induced longevity. nhr-62 mediates the longevity of eat-2 mutants, a genetic mimetic of dietary restriction, and blunts the longevity response of DR induced by bacterial food dilution at low nutrient levels. Metabolic changes associated with DR, including decreased Oil Red O staining, decreased triglyceride levels, and increased autophagy are partly reversed by mutation of nhr-62. Additionally, the DR fatty acid profile is altered in nhr-62mutants. Expression profiles reveal that several hundred genes induced by DR depend on the activity of NHR-62, including a putative lipase required for the DR response. This study provides critical evidence of nuclear hormone receptor regulation of the DR longevity response, suggesting hormonal and metabolic control of life span. Young adult worms before bearing eggs inside were collected. N2 serves as the control of wild type. 3 biological replicates included in this experiment.

The Dynamics of Diverse Segmental Amplifications in Populations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Adapting to Strong Selection

Project description:Population adaptation to strong selection can occur through the sequential or parallel accumulation of competing beneficial mutations. The dynamics, diversity and rate of fixation of beneficial mutations within and between populations are still poorly understood. To study how the mutational landscape varies across populations during adaptation, we performed experimental evolution on seven parallel populations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae continuously cultured in limiting sulfate medium. By combining qPCR, array CGH, restriction digestion and CHEF gels, and whole genome sequencing, we followed the trajectory of evolution to determine the identity and fate of beneficial mutations. Over a period of 200 generations, the yeast populations displayed parallel evolutionary dynamics that are driven by the coexistence of independent beneficial mutations. Selective amplifications rapidly evolve under this selection pressure, in particular common inverted amplifications containing the sulfate transporter gene SUL1. Compared to single clones, detailed analysis of the populations uncovers a greater complexity whereby multiple subpopulations arise and compete despite a strong selection. The most common evolutionary adaptation to strong selection in these populations grown in sulfate limitation is determined by clonal interference, with adaptive variants both persisting and replacing one another.

H3K9me2 protects lifespan against the transgenerational burden of germline transcription in C. elegans

Project description:Chromatin state influences lifespan and may allow for the epigenetic inheritance of this complex trait. At sites of active transcription, the COMPASS complex methylates histone H3 at lysine 4 (H3K4me). In Caenorhabditis elegans, reductions in COMPASS extend lifespan, and wild-type descendants of COMPASS mutants inherit longevity for four generations. Here we show that the longevity of COMPASS mutants is itself a transgenerational trait caused by gradual changes in the repressive chromatin factor H3K9me2. H3K9me2 is required for longevity in COMPASS mutants and can confer longevity when increased in other chromatin modifier mutants. H3K9me2 levels also correlate with a transgenerational decline in wild-type lifespan after freezing or starvation. We propose that germline transcription-coupled H3K4me encroaches on H3K9me2 to limit lifespan. Loss of COMPASS complex alleviates the burden of H3K4me and therefore extends lifespan. This study suggests a causal role for a single heterochromatin factor in the establishment and inheritance of longevity.

Glycerol 3-phosphate phosphatase/PGPH-2 counters metabolic stress and promotes healthy aging via a glycogen sensing-AMPK-HLH-30-autophagy axis in C. elegans

Project description:Metabolic stress caused by excess nutrients accelerates aging. We recently demonstrated that the newly discovered enzyme glycerol-3-phosphate phosphatase (G3PP; gene Pgp), which operates an evolutionarily conserved glycerol shunt that hydrolyzes glucose-derived glycerol-3-phosphate to glycerol, counters metabolic stress and promotes healthy aging in C. elegans. However, the mechanism whereby G3PP activation extends healthspan and lifespan, particularly under glucotoxicity, remained unknown. Here, we show that the overexpression of the C. elegans G3PP homolog, PGPH-2, decreases fat levels and mimics, in part, the beneficial effects of calorie restriction, particularly in glucotoxicity conditions, without reducing food intake. PGPH-2 overexpression depletes glycogen stores activating AMP-activate protein kinase, which leads to the HLH-30 nuclear translocation and activation of autophagy, promoting healthy aging. Transcriptomics reveal an HLH-30-dependent longevity and catabolic gene expression signature with PGPH-2 overexpression. Thus, G3PP overexpression activates three key longevity factors, AMPK, the TFEB homolog HLH-30, and autophagy, and may be an attractive target for age-related metabolic disorders linked to excess nutrients.

Neuronal MML-1/MXL-2 regulates autophagic and peroxidase activity via glutamate transporter to prolong lifespan

Project description:Accumulating evidence has demonstrated the presence of inter-tissue communication regulating systemic aging, but the underlying molecular network has not been fully explored. We and others previously showed that two basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors, MML-1 and HLH-30, are required for lifespan extension in several longevity paradigms, including germline-less Caenorhabditis elegans. However, it is unknown what tissues these factors target to promote longevity. Here, using tissue-specific knockdown experiments, we found that MML-1 and its heterodimer partners MXL-2 and HLH-30 act primarily in neurons to extend longevity in germline-less animals. Neuronal functions of MML-1/MXL-2 and HLH-30 are also essential to prevent aging in non-neuronal tissues, including muscle and the intestine. Interestingly, however, both the temporal requirement and the downstream function of MML-1 in neurons were distinct from those of HLH-30. MML-1 was active early, while HLH-30 functioned later in life to sustain longevity in germline-less animals. Moreover, neuronal RNA interference (RNAi)-based transcriptome analysis revealed that the glutamate transporter GLT-5 is a novel downstream target of MML-1 but not HLH-30. Furthermore, the MML-1–GTL-5 axis in neurons is critical to prevent an age-dependent collapse of proteostasis and increased oxidative stress through autophagy and peroxidase MLT-7, respectively, in long-lived animals. Collectively, our study revealed that systemic aging is regulated by a novel molecular network involving neuronal MML-1 function in both neural and peripheral tissues.
