Project description:The opportunistic pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans causes fungal meningoencephalitis in immunocompromised individuals. In previous studies, we found that the Hap complex in this pathogen represses genes encoding mitochondrial respiratory functions and TCA cycle components under low-iron conditions. The orthologous Hap2/3/4/5 complex in Saccharomyces cerevisiae exerts a regulatory influence on mitochondrial functions and Hap4 is subject to glucose repression via the carbon catabolite repressor Mig1. In this study, we explored the regulatory link between a candidate ortholog of the Mig1 protein and the HapX component of the Hap complex in C. neoformans. This analysis revealed repression of MIG1 by HapX and activation of HAPX by Mig1 in low iron conditions, and Mig1 regulation of mitochondrial functions including respiration, tolerance for reactive oxygen species, and expression of genes for iron-consuming and iron-acquisition functions. Consistent with these regulatory functions, a mig1Δ mutant had impaired growth on inhibitors of mitochondrial respiration and ROS inducers. Furthermore, deletion of MIG1 provoked a dysregulation in nutrient sensing via the TOR pathway and impacted the pathway for cell wall remodeling. Importantly, loss of Mig1 increased susceptibility to fluconazole thus further establishing a link between azole antifungal drugs and mitochondrial function. Mig1 and HapX were also required together for survival in macrophages, but Mig1 alone had a minimal impact on virulence in mice. Overall, these studies provide novel insights into a HapX/Mig1 regulatory network and reinforce an association between mitochondrial dysfunction and drug susceptibility that may provide new targets for the development of antifungal drugs.

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis is exposed to a variety of stresses during a chronic infection, as the immune system simultaneously produces bactericidal compounds and starves the pathogen for essential nutrients. The intramembrane protease, Rip1, plays an important role in the adaptation to these stresses, at least partially by the cleavage of membrane bound transcriptional regulators. Although Rip1 is known to be critical for surviving copper intoxication and nitric oxide exposure, these stresses do not fully account the regulatory protein’s essentiality during infection. In this work, we demonstrate that Rip1 is also necessary for growth in low iron and zinc conditions, similar to those imposed by the immune system. Using a newly generated library of sigma factor mutants, we show that the known regulatory target of Rip1, SigL, shares this defect. Transcriptional profiling under iron limiting conditions supported the coordinated activity of Rip1 and SigL and demonstrated that the loss of these proteins produces an exaggerated iron starvation response. These observations demonstrate that Rip1 coordinates several aspects of metal homeostasis and suggest that a Rip1- and SigL-dependent pathway is involved in the adaptation to the iron deficient environments encountered during infection.

Project description:Background We previously described the first respiratory Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain, KOY.TM6*P, by integrating the gene encoding a chimeric hexose transporter, Tm6*, into the genome of an hxt null yeast. Subsequently we demonstrated the transferability of this respiratory phenotype in the presence of up to 100 g/L glucose to a yeast strain in which only HXT1-7 had been deleted. In this study, we wanted to examine the basis of the respiratory phenotype of the resultant strain, V5.TM6*P, by comparing its transcriptome with that of its parent, V5, at different glucose concentrations. Results cDNA array analyses revealed that alterations in gene expression that occur when transitioning from a respiro-fermentative (V5) to a respiratory (V5.TM6*P) strain, are very similar to those in cells undergoing a diauxic shift. Highly complete collections of known genes of the TCA cycle, glyoxylate cycle and respiratory chain were identified, consistent with a respiratory metabolism. We also undertook an analysis of transcription factor binding sites in our dataset by examining previously-published biological data for Hap4, Cat8 and Mig1, and using this in combination with verified binding consensus sequences, to identify genes likely to be regulated by one or more of these transcription factors. Of the induced genes of our dataset, 77 % had binding sites for Hap2/3/5 (Hap4 is an activator of this complex), with 72 % having at least two (the latter set being more induced than the former). This is relevant since Hap4 is known to be involved in the transcriptional activation of respiratory genes and other mitochondrial functions. In addition, 13 % of genes were found to have a binding site for Cat8, which together with its complexes with Sip4 have previously been identified as mediating de-repression of a number of genes during the diauxic shift. Finally, 21 % of genes had a binding site for Mig1 which is a transcriptional repressor involved in glucose repression. Unexpectedly, both the up- and down-regulation of many of the genes in our dataset had a clear glucose dependence in the parent V5 strain that was not present in V5.TM6*P. This important result indicates that the relief of glucose repression is already operable at much higher glucose concentrations than is widely accepted and suggests that glucose sensing might occur inside the cell. Conclusions Our dataset gives a remarkably complete view of the involvement of genes in the TCA cycle, glyoxylate cycle and respiratory chain in the expression of the phenotype of V5.TM6*P. Furthermore, 88 % of the transcriptional response of the induced genes in our dataset can be related to the potential activities of just three transcription factors; Hap2/3/5, Cat8 and Mig1. Overall, our data support genetic remodelling in V5.TM6*P consistent with a respiratory metabolism which is insensitive to external glucose concentrations.

Project description:The highly conserved heterotrimeric protein kinase SNF1 is important for metabolic adaptations in the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans. A key function of SNF1 is to inactivate the repressor protein Mig1 and thereby allow the expression of genes that are required for the the utilization of alternative carbon sources when the preferred carbon source glucose is absent or becomes limiting. However, how SNF1 controls Mig1 activity in C. albicans has remained elusive. Using a phosphoproteomic approach, we found that Mig1 is phosphorylated at multiple serine residues. Replacement of these serine residues by nonphosphorylatable alanine residues strongly increased the repressor activity of Mig1 in cells lacking a functional SNF1 complex, indicating that additional protein kinases are involved in the regulation of Mig1. Unlike wild-type Mig1, whose levels strongly decreased when the cells were grown on sucrose or glycerol instead of glucose, the levels of a mutant Mig1 protein lacking nine phosphorylation sites remained high under these conditions. Despite the increased protein levels and the absence of multiple phosphorylation sites, cells with a functional SNF1 complex could still sufficiently inhibit the hyperactive Mig1 to enable wild-type growth on alternative carbon sources. In line with this, phosphorylated forms of the mutant Mig1 were still detected in the presence and absence of a functional SNF1, demonstrating that Mig1 contains additional, unidentified phosphorylation sites and that downstream protein kinases are involved in the control of Mig1 activity by SNF1.

Project description:The ARV1-encoded protein mediates sterol transport from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the plasma membrane. Yeast ARV1 mutants accumulate multiple lipids in the ER and are sensitive to pharmacological modulators of both sterol and sphingolipid metabolism. Using fluorescent and electron microscopy, we demonstrate sterol accumulation, subcellular membrane expansion, elevated lipid droplet formation and vacuolar fragmentation in ARV1 mutants. Motif-based regression analysis of ARV1 deletion transcription profiles indicates activation of Hac1p, an integral component of the UPR. Accordingly, we show constitutive splicing of HAC1 transcripts, induction of a UPR reporter and elevated expression of UPR targets in ARV1 mutants. IRE1, encoding the unfolded protein sensor in the ER lumen, exhibits a lethal genetic interaction with ARV1, indicating a viability requirement for the UPR in cells lacking ARV1. Surprisingly, ARV1 mutants expressing a variant of Ire1p defective in sensing unfolded proteins are viable. Moreover these strains also exhibit constitutive HAC1 splicing that interacts with DTT-mediated perturbation of protein folding. These data suggest a component of UPR induction in arv1? strains is distinct from protein misfolding. Decreased ARV1 expression in murine macrophages also results in UPR induction, particularly up-regulation of activating transcription factor-4, C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) and apoptosis. Cholesterol loading or inhibition of cholesterol esterification further elevated CHOP expression in ARV1 knockdown cells. Thus, loss or down-regulation of ARV1 disturbs membrane and lipid homeostasis resulting in a disruption of ER integrity, one consequence of which is induction of the UPR. Yeast strains were grown to mid-logarithmic stage (A600=0.5-0.6) for RNA extraction and hybridization on Ye6100 or S98 Affymetrix gene chips. The control array (sample name C) was carried out in duplicate. The ARV1 mutant array (sample name A) was carried out in triplicate. Both ARV1 mutants Ye6100 arrays were compared to the same control Ye6100 array. Strains represent different isolates of the same genotype, mating type and genetic background (w303). Sturley lab collection (SCY) strains include SCY328 and SCY2004 for controls and SCY820 and SCY840 for ARV1 mutants.

Project description:Chronologically aging yeast cells are prone to adaptive regrowth, whereby mutants with a survival advantage spontaneously appear and re-enter the cell cycle in stationary phase cultures. Adaptive regrowth is especially noticeable with short-lived strains, including those defective for SNF1, the homolog of mammalian AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). SNF1 becomes active in response to multiple environmental stresses that occur in chronologically aging cells, including glucose depletion and oxidative stress. SNF1 is also required for the extension of chronological lifespan (CLS) by caloric restriction (CR) as defined as limiting glucose at the time of culture inoculation. To identify specific downstream SNF1 targets responsible for CLS extension during CR, we screened for adaptive regrowth mutants that restore chronological longevity to a short-lived snf1∆ parental strain. Whole genome sequencing of the adapted mutants revealed missense mutations in TPR motifs 9 and 10 of the transcriptional co-repressor Cyc8 that specifically mediate repression through the transcriptional repressor Mig1. Another mutation occurred in MIG1 itself, thus implicating the activation of Mig1-repressed genes as a key function of SNF1 in maintaining CLS. Consistent with this conclusion, the cyc8 TPR mutations partially restored growth on alternative carbon sources and significantly extended CLS compared to the snf1∆ parent. Furthermore, cyc8 TPR mutations reactivated multiple Mig1-repressed genes, including the transcription factor gene CAT8, which is responsible for activating genes of the glyoxylate and gluconeogenesis pathways. Deleting CAT8 completely blocked CLS extension by the cyc8 TPR mutations on CLS, identifying these pathways as key Snf1-regulated CLS determinants.
