NADP regulates the yeast GAL induction system.

ABSTRACT: Transcriptional regulation of the galactose-metabolizing genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae depends on three core proteins: Gal4p, the transcriptional activator that binds to upstream activating DNA sequences (UAS(GAL)); Gal80p, a repressor that binds to the carboxyl terminus of Gal4p and inhibits transcription; and Gal3p, a cytoplasmic transducer that, upon binding galactose and adenosine 5'-triphosphate, relieves Gal80p repression. The current model of induction relies on Gal3p sequestering Gal80p in the cytoplasm. However, the rapid induction of this system implies that there is a missing factor. Our structure of Gal80p in complex with a peptide from the carboxyl-terminal activation domain of Gal4p reveals the existence of a dinucleotide that mediates the interaction between the two. Biochemical and in vivo experiments suggests that nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) plays a key role in the initial induction event.

A ncRNA modulates histone modification and mRNA induction in the yeast GAL gene cluster.

Project description:The extensively studied yeast GAL1-10 gene cluster is tightly regulated by environmental sugar availability. Unexpectedly, under repressive conditions the 3' region of the GAL10 coding sequence is trimethylated by Set1 on histone H3 K4, normally characteristic of 5' regions of actively transcribed genes. This reflects transcription of a long noncoding RNA (GAL10-ncRNA) that is reciprocal to GAL1 and GAL10 mRNAs and driven by the DNA-binding protein Reb1. Point mutations in predicted Reb1-binding sites abolished Reb1 binding and ncRNA synthesis. The GAL10-ncRNA is transcribed approximately once every 50 min and targeted for degradation by the TRAMP and exosome complexes, resulting in low steady-state levels (approximately one molecule per 14 cells). GAL10-ncRNA transcription recruits the methyltransferase Set2 and histone deacetylation activities in cis, leading to stable changes in chromatin structure. These chromatin modifications act principally through the Rpd3S complex to aid glucose repression of GAL1-10 at physiologically relevant sugar concentrations.

NADP(H) allosterically regulates the interaction between ferredoxin and ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase.

Project description:Ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase (FNR) in plants receives electrons from ferredoxin (Fd) at the end of the photosynthetic electron transfer chain and converts NADP+ to NADPH. The interaction between Fd and FNR in plants was previously shown to be attenuated by NADP(H). Here, we investigated the molecular mechanism of this phenomenon using maize FNR and Fd, as the three-dimensional structure of this complex is available. NADPH, NADP+ , and 2'5'-ADP differentially affected the interaction, as revealed through kinetic and physical binding analyses. Site-directed mutations of FNR which change the affinity for NADPH altered the affinity for Fd in the opposite direction to that for NADPH. We propose that the binding of NADP(H) causes a conformational change of FNR which is transferred to the Fd-binding region through different domains of FNR, resulting in allosteric changes in the affinity for Fd.

Proteomics analysis of humulene-producing yeast integrated with a low temeprature-inducible GAL circuit for pathway induction

Project description:We analysed the proteome of two humulene-producing yeast strains under normal temperature (30 °C) cultivation condition and low temperature (25 °C) cultivation condition. In these two humulene-producing yeast strains, HUM401RU (control strain) and CI-HUM401RU (low-temperature-inducible strain), the mevalonate pathway genes and the humulene synthase gene are controlled by different galactose-inducible (GAL) promoters. For CI-HUM401RU, a low-temperature-inducible GAL circuit has been introduced to enable induction of pathway genes at 25 °C. For the control strain, HUM401RU, a tetracycline-inducible promoter is used to control GAL80, so that the pathway genes can be auto-induced after glucose depleted during the cultivation. We in total submitted 12 samples which can be devided into four groups: (1) HUM401RU, 25 °C, 24h; (2) CI-HUM401RU, 30 °C, 24h; (3) CI-HUM401RU, 25 °C, 24 h; (4) CI-HUM401RU, 25 °C, 48 h. Each group has three bilogical replites.

Interaction of Gal repressor with inducer and operator: induction of gal transcription from repressor-bound DNA.

Project description:Gal repressor inhibits transcription from the gal promoter (P1) when it binds to the cognate operator (O(E)). The repression is relieved by the presence of the inducer D-galactose. Compared with its interaction with free repressor, D-galactose binds to the repressor-operator complex with 10-fold reduced affinity as determined by fluorescence enhancement measurements. Thermodynamic analysis and fluorescence anisotropy showed that the stability of the repressor-operator complex is reduced by only 7-fold by the presence of the inducer in the complex. The formation of the inducer-repressor-operator ternary complex has been confirmed by CD spectral analysis. Fluorescence spectroscopy and energy transfer experiments suggest that individual allosteric effects of the two ligands, inducer and operator, on Gal repressor are responsible for the slightly weakened stability of the ternary complex compared with the stability of the inducer-repressor and repressor-operator complexes. In vitro transcription results demonstrated full derepression of transcription of the P1 promoter under conditions in which the concentrations of the inducer-repressor binary complex are severalfold higher than the dissociation constant of the inducer-repressor-operator ternary complex into inducer-repressor and free DNA. These results strongly suggest that the inducer binding to the repressor-operator complex does not lead to dissociation of the repressor from the operator during transcription induction. Because Gal repressor inhibits transcription by modulating the alpha subunit of the P1-bound RNA polymerase, we conclude that the inducer binding to the operator-bound repressor only allosterically relieves the inhibitory effect of repressor on RNA polymerase without dissociating the repressor from DNA.

The ubiquitin-proteasome system regulates membrane fusion of yeast vacuoles.

Project description:Ubiquitination is known to regulate early stages of intracellular vesicular transport, without proteasomal involvement. We now show that, in yeast, ubiquitination regulates a late-stage, membrane fusion, with proteasomal involvement. A known proteasome mutant had a vacuolar fragmentation phenotype in vivo often associated with vacuolar membrane fusion defects, suggesting a proteasomal role in fusion. Inhibiting vacuolar proteasomes interfered with membrane fusion in vitro, showing that fusion cannot occur without proteasomal degradation. If so, one would expect to find ubiquitinated proteins on vacuolar membranes. We found a small number of these, identified the most prevalent one as Ypt7 and mapped its two major ubiquitination sites. Ubiquitinated Ypt7 was linked to the degradation event that is necessary for fusion: vacuolar Ypt7 and vacuolar proteasomes were interdependent, ubiquitinated Ypt7 became a proteasomal substrate during fusion, and proteasome inhibitors reduced fusion to greater degree when we decreased Ypt7 ubiquitination. The strongest model holds that fusion cannot proceed without proteasomal degradation of ubiquitinated Ypt7. As Ypt7 is one of many Rab GTPases, ubiquitin-proteasome regulation may be involved in membrane fusion elsewhere.

Mitochondrial NAD dependent aldehyde dehydrogenase either from yeast or human replaces yeast cytoplasmic NADP dependent aldehyde dehydrogenase for the aerobic growth of yeast on ethanol.

Project description:BackgroundIn a previous study, we deleted three aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) genes, involved in ethanol metabolism, from yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and found that the triple deleted yeast strain did not grow on ethanol as sole carbon source. The ALDHs were NADP dependent cytosolic ALDH1, NAD dependent mitochondrial ALDH2 and NAD/NADP dependent mitochondrial ALDH5. Double deleted strain ΔALDH2+ΔALDH5 or ΔALDH1+ΔALDH5 could grow on ethanol. However, the double deleted strain ΔALDH1+ΔALDH2 did not grow in ethanol.MethodsTriple deleted yeast strain was used. Mitochondrial NAD dependent ALDH from yeast or human was placed in yeast cytosol.ResultsIn the present study we found that a mutant form of cytoplasmic ALDH1 with very low activity barely supported the growth of the triple deleted strain (ΔALDH1+ΔALDH2+ΔALDH5) on ethanol. Finding the importance of NADP dependent ALDH1 on the growth of the strain on ethanol we examined if NAD dependent mitochondrial ALDH2 either from yeast or human would be able to support the growth of the triple deleted strain on ethanol if the mitochondrial form was placed in cytosol. We found that the NAD dependent mitochondrial ALDH2 from yeast or human was active in cytosol and supported the growth of the triple deleted strain on ethanol.ConclusionThis study showed that coenzyme preference of ALDH is not critical in cytosol of yeast for the growth on ethanol.General significanceThe present study provides a basis to understand the coenzyme preference of ALDH in ethanol metabolism in yeast.

Transcription profiling of yeast mutants Gal-YAH1, Gal-ATM1 and Gal-NBP35 to investigate responses to defects in cellular Fe-S protein maturation

Project description:The biogenesis of iron-sulfur proteins in eukaryotes is an essential process involving the mitochondrial iron-sulfur cluster (ISC) assembly and export machineries and the cytosolic Fe/S protein assembly (CIA) apparatus. To define the integration of Fe/S protein biogenesis into cellular homeostasis, we compared the global transcriptional responses to defects in the three biogenesis systems in S. cerevisiae using DNA microarrays. Microarray analyses were carried out with regulatable yeast mutants in which representatives of each of the three biosynthetic systems could be depleted. In particular, we used the mutants Gal-YAH1, Gal-ATM1 and Gal-NBP35.

A negative feedback loop at the nuclear periphery regulates GAL gene expression.

Project description:The genome is nonrandomly organized within the nucleus, but it remains unclear how gene position affects gene expression. Silenced genes have frequently been found associated with the nuclear periphery, and the environment at the periphery is believed to be refractory to transcriptional activation. However, in budding yeast, several highly regulated classes of genes, including the GAL7-10-1 gene cluster, are known to translocate to the nuclear periphery concurrent with their activation. To investigate the role of gene positioning on GAL gene expression, we monitored the effects of mutations that disrupt the interaction between the GAL locus and the periphery or synthetically tethered the locus to the periphery. Localization to the nuclear periphery was found to dampen initial GAL gene induction and was required for rapid repression after gene inactivation, revealing a function for the nuclear periphery in repressing endogenous GAL gene expression. Our results do not support a gene-gating model in which GAL gene interaction with the nuclear pore ensures rapid gene expression, but instead they suggest that a repressive environment at the nuclear periphery establishes a negative feedback loop that enables the GAL locus to respond rapidly to changes in environmental conditions.

Gal-3BP Negatively Regulates NF-κB Signaling by Inhibiting the Activation of TAK1.

Project description:Galectin-3-binding protein (Gal-3BP) is a member of the family of scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) domain-containing proteins, which are associated with the immune system. However, the functional roles and signaling mechanisms of Gal-3BP in host defense and the immune response remain largely unknown. Here, we identified cellular Gal-3BP as a negative regulator of NF-κB activation and proinflammatory cytokine production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated murine embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). Furthermore, cellular Gal-3BP interacted with transforming growth factor β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1), a crucial mediator of NF-κB activation in response to cellular stress. Gal-3BP inhibited the phosphorylation of TAK1, leading to suppression of its kinase activity and reduced protein stability. In vivo we found that Lgals3BP deficiency in mice enhanced LPS-induced proinflammatory cytokine release and rendered mice more sensitive to LPS-induced endotoxin shock. Overall, these results suggest that Gal-3BP is a novel suppressor of TAK1-dependent NF-κB activation that may have potential in the prevention and treatment of inflammatory diseases.
