Dissection of transient oxidative stress response in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by using DNA microarrays.

ABSTRACT: Yeast cells were grown in glucose-limited chemostat cultures and forced to switch to a new carbon source, the fatty acid oleate. Alterations in gene expression were monitored using DNA microarrays combined with bioinformatics tools, among which was included the recently developed algorithm REDUCE. Immediately after the switch to oleate, a transient and very specific stress response was observed, followed by the up-regulation of genes encoding peroxisomal enzymes required for fatty acid metabolism. The stress response included up-regulation of genes coding for enzymes to keep thioredoxin and glutathione reduced, as well as enzymes required for the detoxification of reactive oxygen species. Among the genes coding for various isoenzymes involved in these processes, only a specific subset was expressed. Not the general stress transcription factors Msn2 and Msn4, but rather the specific factor Yap1p seemed to be the main regulator of the stress response. We ascribe the initiation of the oxidative stress response to a combination of poor redox flux and fatty acid-induced uncoupling of the respiratory chain during the metabolic reprogramming phase.

Project description:In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Y family DNA polymerase Rev1 is involved in the repair of DNA damage by translesion DNA synthesis (TLS). In the current study, to elucidate the role of Rev1 in oxidative stress-induced DNA damage in S. cerevisiae, REV1 was deleted and overexpressed; transcriptome analysis of these mutants along with the wild-type strain was performed to screen potential genes that could be associated with REV1 during response to DNA damage. When the yeast cells were treated with 2 mM H2O2, the deletion of REV1 resulted in a 1.5- and 2.8-fold decrease in the survival rate and mutation frequency, respectively, whereas overexpression of REV1 increased the survival rate and mutation frequency by 1.1- and 2.9-fold, respectively, compared to the survival rate and mutation frequency of the wild-type strain. Transcriptome and phenotypic analyses identified that Sml1 aggravated oxidative stress in the yeast cells by inhibiting the activity of Rev1. This inhibition was due to the physical interaction between the BRCA1 C terminus (BRCT) domain of Rev1 and amino acid residues 36 to 70 of Sml1; the cell survival rate and mutation frequency increased by 1.8- and 3.1-fold, respectively, when this interaction was blocked. We also found that Sml1 inhibited Rev1 phosphorylation under oxidative stress and that deletion of SML1 increased the phosphorylation of Rev1 by 46%, whereas overexpression of SML1 reduced phosphorylation of Rev1. Overall, these findings demonstrate that Sml1 could be a novel regulator that mediates Rev1 dephosphorylation to inhibit its activity during oxidative stress.IMPORTANCE Rev1 was critical for cell growth in S. cerevisiae, and the deletion of REV1 caused a severe growth defect in cells exposed to oxidative stress (2 mM H2O2). Furthermore, we found that Sml1 physically interacted with Rev1 and inhibited Rev1 phosphorylation, thereby inhibiting Rev1 DNA antioxidant activity. These findings indicate that Sml1 could be a novel regulator for Rev1 in response to DNA damage by oxidative stress.
