Project description:Most available knowledge on fungal arginine metabolism is derived from studies on Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in which arginine catabolism is initiated by releasing urea via the arginase reaction. Orthologs of the S. cerevisiae genes encoding the first three enzymes in the arginase pathway were cloned from Kluyveromyces lactis and shown to functionally complement the corresponding deletion in S. cerevisiae. Surprisingly, deletion of the single K. lactis arginase gene KlCAR1 did not completely abolish growth on arginine as nitrogen source. Growth rate of mutant strongly increased during serial transfer in shake-flask cultures. A combination of RNAseq-based transcriptome analysis and 13C-15N-based flux analysis was used to elucidate the arginase-independent pathway. Isotopic 13C15N-enrichment in ?-aminobutyrate revealed succinate as the entry point in the TCA cycle of the alternative pathway. Transcript analysis combined with enzyme activity measurements indicated increased expression in the Klcar1? mutant of a guanidinobutyrase (EC.3.5.3.7), an enzyme not previously demonstrated in fungi. Expression of the K. lactis KLLA0F27995g (renamed KlGBU1) encoding guanidinobutyrase enabled S. cerevisiae to use guanidinobutyrate as sole nitrogen source and its deletion in K. lactis almost completely abolish growth on this nitrogen source. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that this enzyme activity is widespread in fungi. The goal of the present study was to characterize arginine catabolism in K. lactis. To this end, CAR1, CAR2 and PRO3 orthologs in K. lactis were identified and functionally analysed by deletion, expression in S. cerevisiae and enzyme activity assays. Since deletion of the arginase gene in K. lactis was found not to completely abolish growth on arginine as a sole nitrogen source, the alternative pathway for arginine catabolism operating in this yeast was studied by a combination of transcriptome analysis, 13C and 15N isotope-based flux analysis and enzyme activity assays in cell extracts. To investigate arginine metabolism in the arginase-negative K. lactis strain, strains GG1632 (Klku80? KlCAR1 reference strain) and IMS0367 (Klcar1? Arg+) were grown in aerobic bioreactor batch cultures on glucose chemically defined medium with arginine as sole nitrogen source. RNA sequencing of samples taken during the exponential phase of growth on glucose-arginine media of the reference strain G1631 and the arginase less strain IMS0367 were compared resulting in the characterization of a new function.

Isotopic 13C15N-enrichment in γ-aminobutyrate revealed succinate as the entry point in the TCA cycle of the alternative pathway. Transcript analysis combined with enzyme activity measurements indicated increased expression in the Klcar1Δ mutant of a guanidinobutyrase (EC.3.5.3.7), an enzyme not previously demonstrated in fungi.

Project description:Total RNA versus genomic DNA hybridization on custom arrays designed for all Kluyveromyces lactis genes Total RNA was collected in mid-log phase from Kluyveromyces lactis cells grown in rich medium (abbreviated CM, in house recipe). RNA was then converted to cDNA, Cy3-labeled and hybridized competitively against Cy5 labeled genomic DNA from Kluyveromyces lactis.

Project description:In the frame of a multispecies project, Kluyveromyces lactis cells were treated with 0.5 mM sodium selenite. Cells were collected 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 minutes after the treatment and their transcriptomes were compared to those of mock-treated cultures. Four independent biological replicates were performed.

Project description:The transcription factor KlPdr1p, belonging to the Zn2Cys6 family, is a central regulator of efflux pump expression in Kluyveromyces lactis. To better understand how KlPDR1-mediated drug resistance is achieved in K. lactis, we used DNA microarrays to identify genes whose expression was affected by deletion or overexpression of the KlPDR1 gene. All microarray experiments were performed using the 30K Kluyveromyces lactis NRRL Y-1140 microarray (MYcroarray, 5692 Plymouth Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48105, USA). Exponentially growing (1 x 107 cells ml-1) K. lactis PM6-7A cells (wild-type, PM6-7A/pdr1∆ and the wild-type transformed with multicopy plasmid carrying the gain-of-function allele of KlPDR1* gene) (Balazfyova et al. 2013), were collected and total RNA was isolated using RNeasy midi kit (Qiagen GmbH, Germany). 1 mg of total RNA was linearly amplified and labelled using Amino allyl MessageAmpII aRNA Amplification kit (Ambion, USA) with two different fluorescent dyes; AlexaFluor647 and AlexaFluor555 (Life Technologies, Germany). 4 µg of labelled RNA was hybridized (18 h at 45°C) in 6x SSPE with addition of formamide (10%), tween-20 (0,01%) and microarray-specofoc control oligos (1%, MYcroarray, USA). After washing, microarray images and two-color GPR output files were obtained using the microarray scanner InnoScan 900 and Mapix software version 7.3.1 (Inopsys, France). The two-color GPR files were processed using the R version 3.0.2 (R Core Team (2014). R: A language and enviroment for statistical computing. R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria. URL http://www.R-project.org) and functions available in the limma package (Smyth 2005). Briefly, the two-color GPR files were omported using the read.maimages() function, background-substracted using the “minimum“ method and within-array-normalized using the “loess“ method. The between-array normalisation was achieved using the “Aquantile“ method. For further analysis, only genes with log2FC ˃2 were selected and confirmed using qPCR.

Project description:The goal of the study was to compare the response to Protien Kinase A (PKA) inhibition between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kluyveromyces lactis. The ancestor of K. lactis did not undergo the Whole Genome Duplication (or Whole Genome Hybridization) event that S. cerevisiae experienced. We found that many paralog pairs in S. cerevisiae were differentially induced in response to PKA inhibition, and that the shared ortholog for these paralog paris in K. lactis was typically not induced. To inhibit PKA, strains containing point mutations rendering PKA sensitive to inhibition by the ATP analog 1-NM-PP1 were generated. The transcription factors Msn2/4 and Rph1/Gis1 in S. cerevisiae and their shared orthologs in K. lactis were deleted in both species to quantify and compare the effect of those transcription factors on the response to PKA inhibition in each species.
