Regulation of septin dynamics by the Saccharomyces cerevisiae lysine acetyltransferase NuA4.

ABSTRACT: In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the lysine acetyltransferase NuA4 has been linked to a host of cellular processes through the acetylation of histone and non-histone targets. To discover proteins regulated by NuA4-dependent acetylation, we performed genome-wide synthetic dosage lethal screens to identify genes whose overexpression is toxic to non-essential NuA4 deletion mutants. The resulting genetic network identified a novel link between NuA4 and septin proteins, a group of highly conserved GTP-binding proteins that function in cytokinesis. We show that acetyltransferase-deficient NuA4 mutants have defects in septin collar formation resulting in the development of elongated buds through the Swe1-dependent morphogenesis checkpoint. We have discovered multiple sites of acetylation on four of the five yeast mitotic septins, Cdc3, Cdc10, Cdc12 and Shs1, and determined that NuA4 can acetylate three of the four in vitro. In vivo we find that acetylation levels of both Shs1 and Cdc10 are reduced in a catalytically inactive esa1 mutant. Finally, we determine that cells expressing a Shs1 protein with decreased acetylation in vivo have defects in septin localization that are similar to those observed in NuA4 mutants. These findings provide the first evidence that yeast septin proteins are acetylated and that NuA4 impacts septin dynamics.

NuA4 Lysine Acetyltransferase Complex Contributes to Phospholipid Homeostasis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:Actively proliferating cells constantly monitor and readjust their metabolic pathways to ensure the replenishment of phospholipids necessary for membrane biogenesis and intracellular trafficking. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, multiple studies have suggested that the lysine acetyltransferase complex NuA4 plays a role in phospholipid homeostasis. For one, NuA4 mutants induce the expression of the inositol-3-phosphate synthase gene, INO1, which leads to excessive accumulation of inositol, a key metabolite used for phospholipid biosynthesis. Additionally, NuA4 mutants also display negative genetic interactions with sec14-1ts , a mutant of a lipid-binding gene responsible for phospholipid remodeling of the Golgi. Here, using a combination of genetics and transcriptional profiling, we explore the connections between NuA4, inositol, and Sec14 Surprisingly, we found that NuA4 mutants did not suppress but rather exacerbated the growth defects of sec14-1ts under inositol-depleted conditions. Transcriptome studies reveal that while loss of the NuA4 subunit EAF1 in sec14-1ts does derepress INO1 expression, it does not derepress all inositol/choline-responsive phospholipid genes, suggesting that the impact of Eaf1 on phospholipid homeostasis extends beyond inositol biosynthesis. In fact, we find that NuA4 mutants have impaired lipid droplet levels and through genetic and chemical approaches, we determine that the genetic interaction between sec14-1ts and NuA4 mutants potentially reflects a role for NuA4 in fatty acid biosynthesis. Altogether, our work identifies a new role for NuA4 in phospholipid homeostasis.

Lysine acetyltransferase NuA4 and acetyl-CoA regulate glucose-deprived stress granule formation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:Eukaryotic cells form stress granules under a variety of stresses, however the signaling pathways regulating their formation remain largely unknown. We have determined that the Saccharomyces cerevisiae lysine acetyltransferase complex NuA4 is required for stress granule formation upon glucose deprivation but not heat stress. Further, the Tip60 complex, the human homolog of the NuA4 complex, is required for stress granule formation in cancer cell lines. Surprisingly, the impact of NuA4 on glucose-deprived stress granule formation is partially mediated through regulation of acetyl-CoA levels, which are elevated in NuA4 mutants. While elevated acetyl-CoA levels suppress the formation of glucose-deprived stress granules, decreased acetyl-CoA levels enhance stress granule formation upon glucose deprivation. Further our work suggests that NuA4 regulates acetyl-CoA levels through the Acetyl-CoA carboxylase Acc1. Altogether this work establishes both NuA4 and the metabolite acetyl-CoA as critical signaling pathways regulating the formation of glucose-deprived stress granules.

Dynamics of septin ring and collar formation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:Although the septin ring and collar in budding yeast were described over 20 years ago, there is still controversy regarding the organization of septin filaments within these structures and about the way in which the ring first forms and about how it converts into a collar at the mother-bud neck. Here we present quantitative analyses of the recruitment of fluorescently-tagged septins to the ring and collar through the cell cycle. Septin ring assembly began several minutes after polarity establishment and this interval was longer in daughter than in mother cells, suggesting asymmetric inheritance of septin regulators. Septins formed an initial faint and irregular ring, which became more regular as septins were recruited at a constant rate. This steady rate of septin recruitment continued for several minutes after the ring converted to a collar at bud emergence. We did not detect a stepwise change in septin fluorescence during the ring-to-collar transition. After collar formation, septins continued to accumulate at the bud neck, though at a reduced rate, until the onset of cytokinesis when the amount of neck-localized septins rapidly decreased. Implications for the mechanism of septin ring assembly are discussed.

Architecture of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae NuA4/TIP60 complex.

Project description:The NuA4/TIP60 acetyltransferase complex is required for gene regulation, DNA repair and cell cycle progression. The limited structural information impeded understanding of NuA4/TIP60 assembly and regulatory mechanism. Here, we report the 4.7 Å cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of a NuA4/TIP60 TEEAA assembly (Tra1, Eaf1, Eaf5, actin and Arp4) and the 7.6 Å cryo-EM structure of a TEEAA-piccolo assembly (Esa1, Epl1, Yng2 and Eaf6). The Tra1 and Eaf1 constitute the assembly scaffold. The Eaf1 SANT domain tightly binds to the LBE and FATC domains of Tra1 by ionic interactions. The actin/Arp4 peripherally associates with Eaf1 HSA domain. The Eaf5/7/3 (TINTIN) and piccolo modules largely pack against the FAT and HEAT repeats of Tra1 and their association depends on Eaf1 N-terminal and HSA regions, respectively. These structures elucidate the detailed architecture and molecular interactions between NuA4 subunits and offer exciting insights into the scaffolding and regulatory mechanisms of Tra1 pseudokinase.

Role of nucleotide binding in septin-septin interactions and septin localization in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:Septins are a conserved family of eukaryotic GTP-binding, filament-forming proteins. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, five septins (Cdc3p, Cdc10p, Cdc11p, Cdc12p, and Shs1p) form a complex and colocalize to the incipient bud site and as a collar of filaments at the neck of budded cells. Septins serve as a scaffold to localize septin-associated proteins involved in diverse processes and as a barrier to diffusion of membrane-associated proteins. Little is known about the role of nucleotide binding in septin function. Here, we show that Cdc3p, Cdc10p, Cdc11p, and Cdc12p all bind GTP and that P-loop and G4 motif mutations affect nucleotide binding and result in temperature-sensitive defects in septin localization and function. Two-hybrid, in vitro, and in vivo analyses show that for all four septins nucleotide binding is important in septin-septin interactions and complex formation. In the absence of complete complexes, septins do not localize to the cortex, suggesting septin localization factors interact only with complete complexes. When both complete and partial complexes are present, septins localize to the cortex but do not form a collar, perhaps because of an inability to form filaments. We find no evidence that nucleotide binding is specifically involved in the interaction of septins with septin-associated proteins.

NuA4-directed chromatin transactions throughout the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome.

Project description:Two of the major histone acetyltransferases in Saccharomyces cerevisiae are NuA4 and SAGA, which acetylate histones H4 and H3, respectively. Acetylated H3 and H4 tails have been implicated in binding bromodomain proteins, including Bdf1. Bdf1 interacts with the general transcription factor TFIID, which might promote preinitiation complex (PIC) assembly. Bdf1 also interacts with the SWR complex (SWR-C). SWR-C is responsible for the deposition of the histone H2A variant H2A.Z. The placement of these interactions into a connected pathway of PIC assembly has not been fully established. Moreover, it is not known how widespread and how variable such a pathway might be on a genomic scale. Here we provide genomic evidence for S. cerevisiae that PIC assembly (TFIID occupancy) and chromatin remodeling (SWR-C and H2A.Z occupancy) are linked in large part to NuA4-directed H4 acetylation and subsequent Bdf1 binding, rather than through SAGA-directed H3 acetylation. Bdf1 and its homolog Bdf2 tend to have distinct locations in the genome. However, the deletion of BDF1 leads to the accumulation of Bdf2 at Bdf1-vacated sites. Thus, while Bdf1 and Bdf2 are at least partially redundant in function, their functions in the genome are geographically distinct.

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Piccolo NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex requires the Enhancer of Polycomb A domain and chromodomain to acetylate nucleosomes.

Project description:Chromatin modification complexes are key gene regulatory factors which posttranslationally modify the histone component of chromatin with epigenetic marks. To address what features of chromatin modification complexes are responsible for the specific recognition of nucleosomes compared to naked histones, we have performed a functional dissection of the Esa1-containing Saccharomyces cerevisiae Piccolo NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex. Our studies define the Piccolo determinants sufficient to assemble its three subunits into a complex as well as Piccolo determinants sufficient to specifically acetylate a chromatin template. We find that the conserved Enhancer of Polycomb A (EPcA) homology region of the Epl1 component and the N-terminal 165 amino acids of the Yng2 component of Piccolo are sufficient with Esa1 to specifically act on nucleosomes. We also find that the Esa1 chromodomain plays a critical role in Piccolo's ability to distinguish between histones and nucleosomes. In particular, specific point mutations in the chromodomain putative hydrophobic cage which strongly hinder growth in yeast greatly reduce histone acetyltransferase activity on nucleosome substrates, independent of histone methylation or other modifications. However, the chromodomain is not required for Piccolo to bind to nucleosomes, suggesting a role for the chromodomain in a catalysis step after nucleosome binding.

Uncovering the Role of the Yeast Lysine Acetyltransferase NuA4 in the Regulation of Nuclear Shape and Lipid Metabolism.

Project description:Here, we report a novel role for the yeast lysine acetyltransferase NuA4 in regulating phospholipid availability for organelle morphology. Disruption of the NuA4 complex results in 70% of cells displaying nuclear deformations and nearly 50% of cells exhibiting vacuolar fragmentation. Cells deficient in NuA4 also show severe defects in the formation of nuclear-vacuole junctions (NJV), as well as a decrease in piecemeal microautophagy of the nucleus (PMN). To determine the cause of these defects we focused on Pah1, an enzyme that converts phosphatidic acid into diacylglycerol, favoring accumulation of lipid droplets over phospholipids that are used for membrane expansion. NuA4 subunit Eaf1 was required for Pah1 localization to the inner nuclear membrane and artificially tethering of Pah1 to the nuclear membrane rescued nuclear deformation and vacuole fragmentation defects, but not defects related to the formation of NVJs. Mutation of a NuA4-dependent acetylation site on Pah1 also resulted in aberrant Pah1 localization and defects in nuclear morphology and NVJ. Our work suggests a critical role for NuA4 in organelle morphology that is partially mediated through the regulation of Pah1 subcellular localization.

Three-dimensional ultrastructure of the septin filament network in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:Septins are conserved GTP-binding proteins involved in membrane compartmentalization and remodeling. In budding yeast, five mitotic septins localize at the bud neck, where the plasma membrane is enriched in phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns4,5P(2)). We previously established the subunit organization within purified yeast septin complexes and how these hetero-octamers polymerize into filaments in solution and on PtdIns4,5P(2)-containing lipid monolayers. How septin ultrastructure in vitro relates to the septin-containing filaments observed at the neck in fixed cells by thin-section electron microscopy was unclear. A morphological description of these filaments in the crowded space of the cell is challenging, given their small cross section. To examine septin organization in situ, sections of dividing yeast cells were analyzed by electron tomography of freeze-substituted cells, as well as by cryo-electron tomography. We found networks of filaments both perpendicular and parallel to the mother-bud axis that resemble septin arrays on lipid monolayers, displaying a repeat pattern that mirrors the molecular dimensions of the corresponding septin preparations in vitro. Thus these in situ structures most likely represent septin filaments. In viable mutants lacking a single septin, in situ filaments are still present, although more disordered, consistent with other evidence that the in vivo function of septins requires filament formation.

Regulation of Antisense Transcription by NuA4 Histone Acetyltransferase and Other Chromatin Regulatory Factors.

Project description:NuA4 histone lysine (K) acetyltransferase (KAT) promotes transcriptional initiation of TATA-binding protein (TBP)-associated factor (TAF)-dependent ribosomal protein genes. TAFs have also been recently found to enhance antisense transcription from the 3' end of the GAL10 coding sequence. However, it remains unknown whether, like sense transcription of the ribosomal protein genes, TAF-dependent antisense transcription of GAL10 also requires NuA4 KAT. Here, we show that NuA4 KAT associates with the GAL10 antisense transcription initiation site at the 3' end of the coding sequence. Such association of NuA4 KAT depends on the Reb1p-binding site that recruits Reb1p activator to the GAL10 antisense transcription initiation site. Targeted recruitment of NuA4 KAT to the GAL10 antisense transcription initiation site promotes GAL10 antisense transcription. Like NuA4 KAT, histone H3 K4/36 methyltransferases and histone H2B ubiquitin conjugase facilitate GAL10 antisense transcription, while the Swi/Snf and SAGA chromatin remodeling/modification factors are dispensable for antisense, but not sense, transcription of GAL10. Taken together, our results demonstrate for the first time the roles of NuA4 KAT and other chromatin regulatory factors in controlling antisense transcription, thus illuminating chromatin regulation of antisense transcription.
