Retrograde signaling mediates an adaptive survival response to endoplasmic reticulum stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

ABSTRACT: One major cause of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is homeostatic imbalance between biosynthetic protein folding and protein folding capacity. Cells utilize mechanisms such as the unfolded protein response (UPR) to cope with ER stress. Nevertheless, when ER stress is prolonged or severe, cell death may occur, accompanied by production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS). Using a yeast model (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), we describe an innate, adaptive response to ER stress to increase select mitochondrial proteins, O₂ consumption and cell survival. The mitochondrial response allows cells to resist additional ER stress. The ER stress-induced mitochondrial response is mediated by activation of retrograde (RTG) signaling to enhance anapleurotic reactions of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Mitochondrial response to ER stress is accompanied by inactivation of the conserved TORC1 pathway, and activation of Snf1/AMPK, the conserved energy sensor and regulator of metabolism. Our results provide new insight into the role of respiration in cell survival in the face of ER stress, and should help in developing therapeutic strategies to limit cell death in disorders linked to ER stress.This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper.

Target of rapamycin signaling mediates vacuolar fission caused by endoplasmic reticulum stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:The yeast vacuole is equivalent to the mammalian lysosome and, in response to diverse physiological and environmental stimuli, undergoes alterations both in size and number. Here we demonstrate that vacuoles fragment in response to stress within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) caused by chemical or genetic perturbations. We establish that this response does not involve known signaling pathways linked previously to ER stress but instead requires the rapamycin-sensitive TOR Complex 1 (TORC1), a master regulator of cell growth, together with its downstream effectors, Tap42/Sit4 and Sch9. To identify additional factors required for ER stress-induced vacuolar fragmentation, we conducted a high-throughput, genome-wide visual screen for yeast mutants that are refractory to ER stress-induced changes in vacuolar morphology. We identified several genes shown previously to be required for vacuolar fusion and/or fission, validating the utility of this approach. We also identified a number of new components important for fragmentation, including a set of proteins involved in assembly of the V-ATPase. Remarkably, we find that one of these, Vph2, undergoes a change in intracellular localization in response to ER stress and, moreover, in a manner that requires TORC1 activity. Together these results reveal a new role for TORC1 in the regulation of vacuolar behavior.

Aeration mitigates endoplasmic reticulum stress in <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> even without mitochondrial respiration.

Project description:Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a facultative anaerobic organism that grows well under both aerobic and hypoxic conditions in media containing abundant fermentable nutrients such as glucose. In order to deeply understand the physiological dependence of S. cerevisiae on aeration, we checked endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stress status by monitoring the splicing of HAC1 mRNA, which is promoted by the ER stress-sensor protein, Ire1. HAC1-mRNA splicing that was caused by conventional ER-stressing agents, including low concentrations of dithiothreitol (DTT), was more potent in hypoxic cultures than in aerated cultures. Moreover, growth retardation was observed by adding low-dose DTT into hypoxic cultures of ire1Δ cells. Unexpectedly, aeration mitigated ER stress and DTT-induced impairment of ER oxidative protein folding even when mitochondrial respiration was halted by the ρo mutation. An ER-located protein Ero1 is known to directly consume molecular oxygen to initiate the ER protein oxidation cascade, which promotes oxidative protein folding of ER client proteins. Our further study using ero1-mutant strains suggested that, in addition to mitochondrial respiration, this Ero1-medaited reaction contributes to mitigation of ER stress by molecular oxygen. Taken together, here we demonstrate a scenario in which aeration acts beneficially on S. cerevisiae cells even under fermentative conditions.

AKT1 Regulates Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Mediates the Adaptive Response of Pancreatic β Cells.

Project description:Isoforms of protein kinase B (also known as AKT) play important roles in mediating insulin and growth factor signals. Previous studies have suggested that the AKT2 isoform is critical for insulin-regulated glucose metabolism, while the role of the AKT1 isoform remains less clear. This study focuses on the effects of AKT1 on the adaptive response of pancreatic β cells. Using a mouse model with inducible β-cell-specific deletion of the Akt1 gene (βA1KO mice), we showed that AKT1 is involved in high-fat-diet (HFD)-induced growth and survival of β cells but is unnecessary for them to maintain a population in the absence of metabolic stress. When unchallenged, βA1KO mice presented the same metabolic profile and β-cell phenotype as the control mice with an intact Akt1 gene. When metabolic stress was induced by HFD, β cells in control mice with intact Akt1 proliferated as a compensatory mechanism for metabolic overload. Similar effects were not observed in βA1KO mice. We further demonstrated that AKT1 protein deficiency caused endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and potentiated β cells to undergo apoptosis. Our results revealed that AKT1 protein loss led to the induction of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 α subunit (eIF2α) signaling and ER stress markers under normal-chow-fed conditions, indicating chronic low-level ER stress. Together, these data established a role for AKT1 as a growth and survival factor for adaptive β-cell response and suggest that ER stress induction is responsible for this effect of AKT1.

Requirements for transitional endoplasmic reticulum site structure and function in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:Secretory proteins are exported from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) at specialized regions known as the transitional ER (tER). Coat protein complex II (COPII) proteins are enriched at tER sites, although the mechanisms underlying tER site assembly and maintenance are not understood. Here, we investigated the dynamic properties of tER sites in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and probed protein and lipid requirements for tER site structure and function. Thermosensitive sec12 and sec16 mutations caused a collapse of tER sites in a manner that depended on nascent secretory cargo. Continual fatty acid synthesis was required for ER export and for normal tER site structure, whereas inhibition of sterol and ceramide synthesis produced minor effects. An in vitro assay to monitor assembly of Sec23p-green fluorescent protein at tER sites was established to directly test requirements. tER sites remained active for approximately 10 min in vitro and depended on Sec12p function. Bulk phospholipids were also required for tER site structure and function in vitro, whereas depletion of phophatidylinositol selectively inhibited coat protein complex II (COPII) budding but not assembly of tER site structures. These results indicate that tER sites persist through relatively stringent treatments in which COPII budding was strongly inhibited. We propose that tER site structures are stable elements that are assembled on an underlying protein and lipid scaffold.

Free oligosaccharides to monitor glycoprotein endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:In eukaryotic cells, N-glycosylation has been recognized as one of the most common and functionally important co- or post-translational modifications of proteins. "Free" forms of N-glycans accumulate in the cytosol of mammalian cells, but the precise mechanism for their formation and degradation remains unknown. Here, we report a method for the isolation of yeast free oligosaccharides (fOSs) using endo-beta-1,6-glucanase digestion. fOSs were undetectable in cells lacking PNG1, coding the cytoplasmic peptide:N-glycanase gene, suggesting that almost all fOSs were formed from misfolded glycoproteins by Png1p. Structural studies revealed that the most abundant fOS was M8B, which is not recognized well by the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD)-related lectin, Yos9p. In addition, we provide evidence that some of the ERAD substrates reached the Golgi apparatus prior to retrotranslocation to the cytosol. N-Glycan structures on misfolded glycoproteins in cells lacking the cytosol/vacuole alpha-mannosidase, Ams1p, was still quite diverse, indicating that processing of N-glycans on misfolded glycoproteins was more complex than currently envisaged. Under ER stress, an increase in fOSs was observed, whereas levels of M7C, a key glycan structure recognized by Yos9p, were unchanged. Our method can thus provide valuable information on the molecular mechanism of glycoprotein ERAD in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rot1 is an essential molecular chaperone in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Project description:Molecular chaperones prevent aggregation of denatured proteins in vitro and are thought to support folding of diverse proteins in vivo. Chaperones may have some selectivity for their substrate proteins, but knowledge of particular in vivo substrates is still poor. We here show that yeast Rot1, an essential, type-I ER membrane protein functions as a chaperone. Recombinant Rot1 exhibited antiaggregation activity in vitro, which was partly impaired by a temperature-sensitive rot1-2 mutation. In vivo, the rot1-2 mutation caused accelerated degradation of five proteins in the secretory pathway via ER-associated degradation, resulting in a decrease in their cellular levels. Furthermore, we demonstrate a physical and probably transient interaction of Rot1 with four of these proteins. Collectively, these results indicate that Rot1 functions as a chaperone in vivo supporting the folding of those proteins. Their folding also requires BiP, and one of these proteins was simultaneously associated with both Rot1 and BiP, suggesting that they can cooperate to facilitate protein folding. The Rot1-dependent proteins include a soluble, type I and II, and polytopic membrane proteins, and they do not share structural similarities. In addition, their dependency on Rot1 appeared different. We therefore propose that Rot1 is a general chaperone with some substrate specificity.

Quantitative proteomics reveal proteins enriched in tubular endoplasmic reticulum of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:The tubular network is a critical part of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The network is shaped by the reticulons and REEPs/Yop1p that generate tubules by inducing high membrane curvature, and the dynamin-like GTPases atlastin and Sey1p/RHD3 that connect tubules via membrane fusion. However, the specific functions of this ER domain are not clear. Here, we isolated tubule-based microsomes from Saccharomyces cerevisiae via classical cell fractionation and detergent-free immunoprecipitation of Flag-tagged Yop1p, which specifically localizes to ER tubules. In quantitative comparisons of tubule-derived and total microsomes, we identified a total of 79 proteins that were enriched in the ER tubules, including known proteins that organize the tubular ER network. Functional categorization of the list of proteins revealed that the tubular ER network may be involved in membrane trafficking, lipid metabolism, organelle contact, and stress sensing. We propose that affinity isolation coupled with quantitative proteomics is a useful tool for investigating ER functions.

Aux1p/Swa2p is required for cortical endoplasmic reticulum inheritance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is found at the periphery of the cell and around the nucleus. The segregation of ER through the mother-bud neck may occur by more than one mechanism because perinuclear, but not peripheral ER, requires microtubules for this event. To identify genes whose products are required for cortical ER inheritance, we have used a Tn3-based transposon library to mutagenize cells expressing a green fluorescent protein-tagged ER marker protein (Hmg1p). This approach has revealed that AUX1/SWA2 plays a role in ER inheritance. The COOH terminus of Aux1p/Swa2p contains a J-domain that is highly related to the J-domain of auxilin, which stimulates the uncoating of clathrin-coated vesicles. Deletion of the J-domain of Aux1p/Swa2p leads to vacuole fragmentation and membrane accumulation but does not affect the migration of peripheral ER into daughter cells. These findings suggest that Aux1p/Swa2p may be a bifunctional protein with roles in membrane traffic and cortical ER inheritance. In support of this hypothesis, we find that Aux1p/Swa2p localizes to ER membranes.

Mitochondrial retrograde signaling to the endoplasmic-reticulum regulates unfolded protein responses.

Project description:Unfolded protein response (UPRs) directs adaption or apoptosis depending on the severity of endoplasmic-reticulum (ER) stress. We found that apoptotic signaling by inositol requiring enzyme 1? (IRE1?), a transducer of UPRs, is suppressed by mitochondrial ubiquitin ligase MITOL/MARCH5 on ER-mitochondria contacts, suggesting that mitochondria regulate cell fate under ER stress.

Characterization of fungal RTG2 genes in retrograde signaling of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:Changes in the functional status of mitochondria result in the transcriptional activation of a subset of nuclear-encoded genes in a process referred to as retrograde signaling. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, this molecular link between mitochondria and the nuclear genome is controlled by three key signaling proteins: Rtg1p, Rtg2p, and Rtg3p. Although the retrograde signaling response has been well characterized in S. cerevisiae, very little is known about this pathway in other fungi. In this study, we selected four species having uncharacterized open reading frames (ORFs) with more than 66% amino acid identity to Rtg2p for further analysis. To determine whether these putative RTG2 ORFs encoded bona fide regulators of retrograde signaling, we tested their ability to complement the defects associated with the S. cerevisiae rtg2? mutant. Specifically, we tested for complementation of citrate synthase (CIT2) and aconitase (ACO1) at the transcript and protein levels, glutamate auxotrophy, and changes in the interaction between Rtg2p and the negative regulator Mks1p. Our findings show that all four Rtg2p homologs are functional upon activation of retrograde signaling, although their degree of complementation varied. In addition, all Rtg2p homologs showed a marked reduction in Mks1p binding, which may contribute to their altered responses to retrograde signaling.
