DNA-seq of Candida albians strains engineered with increasing levels of leucine mis-incorporation at CUG codon, SYBARIS project

Project description:The aim of this experiment is to test how atypical codon assignment (in our case Ser and Leu at CUG sites) flexibility can provide an effective mechanism to alter the genetic code. We have reengineered C. albicans strains to mis-incorporate increasing levels of Leu at protein CUG sites.

Yeast genetic codes - Endogenous Stochastic Decoding of the CUG Codon by Competing Ser- and Leu-tRNAs in Ascoidea asiatica

Project description:While the “universal” genetic code is now known not to be universal, and stop codons can have multiple meanings, one regularity remains, namely that for a given sense codon there is a unique translation. Examining CUG usage in yeasts that have transferred CUG away from leucine, we here report the first example of dual coding: Ascoidea asiatica stochastically encodes CUG as both serine and leucine. This is deleterious as evidenced by CUG codons being rare, never at conserved serine/leucine residues and predominantly in lowly expressed genes. Related yeasts solve the problem by loss-of-function of one of the two tRNAs. This dual-coding is consistent with the tRNA-loss driven codon reassignment hypothesis and provides a unique example of a proteome that cannot be deterministically predicted.

Candida albicans CUG codon translation, comparison with other yeasts

Project description:Candida yeasts causing human infections are spread across the yeast phylum with Candida glabrata being related to Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida krusei grouping to Pichia spp., and Candida albicans, Candida parapsilosis and Candida tropicalis belonging to the CTG-clade. The latter lineage contains yeasts with an altered genetic code translating CUG codons as serine using a serine-tRNA with a mutated anticodon. It has been suggested that the CTG-clade CUG codons are mistranslated to a small extent as leucine due to mischarging of the serine-tRNA(CAG). The mistranslation was suggested to result in variable surface proteins explaining fast host adaptation and pathogenicity. Here, we re-assessed this potential mistranslation by high-resolution mass spectrometry-based proteogenomics of multiple CTG-clade yeasts, various C. albicans strains, isolated from colonized and from infected human body sites, and C. albicans grown in yeast and hyphal forms.

Evolutionary Instability of CUG-Leu in the Genetic Code of Budding Yeasts

Project description:The standard genetic code is almost universal, and the evolutionary factors that caused a few organisms to deviate from it are poorly understood. We report that three independent changes of the genetic code occurred during the evolution of budding yeasts, each of which was a reassignment of the codon CUG from leucine to another amino acid. We identify five major yeast clades that differ by translating CUG as either Ser (2 clades), Ala (1 clade), or Leu (2 clades). The newly discovered Ser2 clade is in the final stages of transition from one genetic code to another. It appears to use only a novel tRNASer (tSCAG) to translate CUG codons, but the gene for the ancestral tRNALeu (tLCAG) is still intact in most species in the clade, consistent with the ‘ambiguous intermediate’ theory. We propose that the three parallel changes of the genetic code in yeasts were not driven by natural selection in favor of their effects on the proteome, but by selection to eliminate the ancestral tLCAG, possibly in response to a killer toxin.

Precise small molecule cleavage of a r(CUG) repeat expansion in a myotonic dystrophy mouse model

Project description:Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is an incurable neuromuscular disorder caused by an expanded CTG repeat that is transcribed into r(CUG)exp. The RNA repeat expansion sequesters regulatory proteins such as Muscleblind-like protein 1 (MBNL1), which causes pre-mRNA splicing defects. The disease-causing r(CUG)exp has been targeted by antisense oligonucleotides, CRISPR-based approaches, and RNA-targeting small molecules. Herein, we describe a designer small molecule, Cugamycin, that targets the structure of r(CUG)exp and cleaves it in cells and in vivo. Cugamycin selectively cleaves r(CUG)exp while leaving short repeats of r(CUG) untouched. In contrast, oligonucleotides that recognize r(CUG) sequence rather than structure cleave both long and short r(CUG)-containing transcripts. In the HSALR mouse model of DM1, Cugamycin selectively ablates r(CUG)exp in disease-affected muscle. Transcriptomic, histological, and phenotypic studies demonstrate that Cugamycin broadly and specifically relieves DM1-associated defects without detectable off-targets. Thus, small molecules that bind and cleave RNA may have utility as lead chemical probes and medicines.

Mistranslation accelerates the evolution of antifungal drug resistance in Candida albicans [Gene expression]

Project description:The fungal pathogen Candida albicans and other pathogens of the CTG clade reassigned the leucine CUG codon to serine and tolerate highly variable levels of both serine and leucine at CUG positions in response to environmental cues. Previous studies found that increased leucine misincorporation levels enhance resistance to drugs but the underlying mechanisms are not known. To clarify the biological role of this tuneable codon ambiguity, we evolved C. albicans strains engineered to mistranslate CUG at elevated levels, in the presence and absence of the antifungal drug fluconazole
