Asymmetrical distribution of cardiolipin in yeast inner mitochondrial membrane triggered by carbon catabolite repression.

ABSTRACT: Transmembrane asymmetry of cardiolipin in yeast was monitored during the switch from fermentative to gluconeogenic growth and the reverse. As soon as cells used ethanol as an electron donor to produce ATP by oxidative phosphorylation, rapid and abundant cardiolipin synthesis was observed on the matrix side of the inner mitochondrial membrane followed by a transverse rearrangement between the two leaflets. The cardiolipin distribution changed from about 20:80 (in/out) to 70:30 (in/out), and after translocation towards the outer leaflet it finally became 37:63 (in/out). At the same time, cytochrome c oxidase activity remained stable, then increased as a possible result of the topographical rearrangement. During the reverse process from gluconeogenic to fermentative growth, the amount of cardiolipin rapidly decreased by half, its bilayer distribution apparently changing to a monolayer organization before the 20:80 (in/out) asymmetry of repressed cells was re-established. Experimental impairment of cardiolipin topography by antibiotic inhibition of gene expression or in situ dissipation of mitochondrial membrane potential produced data that prove that the amount and transmembrane distribution of the phospholipid are two specific parameters of the mitochondrial inner membrane organization in both fermentative (2.2 fmol/cell and 20:80, in/out) and gluconeogenic (4.2 fmol/cell and 37:63, in/out) growing yeast cells. Finally, the inner mitochondrial membrane topography of cardiolipin appeared to be closely associated with the transmembrane redox potential.

Carbon Catabolite Repression in Yeast is Not Limited to Glucose.

Project description:Cells adapt their gene expression and their metabolism in response to a changing environment. Glucose represses expression of genes involved in the catabolism of other carbon sources in a process known as (carbon) catabolite repression. However, the relationships between "poor" carbon sources is less characterized. Here we show that in addition to the well-characterized glucose (and galactose) repression of ADH2 (alcohol dehydrogenase 2, required for efficient utilization of ethanol as a carbon source), ADH2 expression is also inhibited by acetate which is produced during ethanol catabolism. Thus, repressive regulation of gene expression occurs also between "poor" carbon sources. Acetate repression of ADH2 expression is via Haa1, independently from the well-characterized mechanism of AMPK (Snf1) activation of Adr1. The response to extracellular acetate is attenuated when all three acetate transporters (Ady2, Fps1 and Jen1) are deleted, but these deletions do not affect the acetate response resulting from growth with glucose or ethanol as the carbon source. Furthermore, genetic manipulation of the ethanol catabolic pathway affects this response. Together, our results show that acetate is sensed intracellularly and that a hierarchical control of carbon sources exists even for "poor" carbon sources.

Carbon catabolite repression in Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum.

Project description:UnlabelledBackgroundThe thermophilic anaerobe Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum is capable of directly fermenting xylan and the biomass-derived sugars glucose, cellobiose, xylose, mannose, galactose and arabinose. It has been metabolically engineered and developed as a biocatalyst for the production of ethanol.ResultsWe report the initial characterization of the carbon catabolite repression system in this organism. We find that sugar metabolism in T. saccharolyticum is regulated by histidine-containing protein HPr. We describe a mutation in HPr, His15Asp, that leads to derepression of less-favored carbon source utilization.ConclusionCo-utilization of sugars can be achieved by mutation of HPr in T. saccharolyticum. Further manipulation of CCR in this organism will be instrumental in achieving complete and rapid conversion of all available sugars to ethanol.

Implications of carbon catabolite repression for plant-microbe interactions.

Project description:Carbon catabolite repression (CCR) plays a key role in many physiological and adaptive responses in a broad range of microorganisms that are commonly associated with eukaryotic hosts. When a mixture of different carbon sources is available, CCR, a global regulatory mechanism, inhibits the expression and activity of cellular processes associated with utilization of secondary carbon sources in the presence of the preferred carbon source. CCR is known to be executed by completely different mechanisms in different bacteria, yeast, and fungi. In addition to regulating catabolic genes, CCR also appears to play a key role in the expression of genes involved in plant-microbe interactions. Here, we present a detailed overview of CCR mechanisms in various bacteria. We highlight the role of CCR in beneficial as well as deleterious plant-microbe interactions based on the available literature. In addition, we explore the global distribution of known regulatory mechanisms within bacterial genomes retrieved from public repositories and within metatranscriptomes obtained from different plant rhizospheres. By integrating the available literature and performing targeted meta-analyses, we argue that CCR-regulated substrate use preferences of microorganisms should be considered an important trait involved in prevailing plant-microbe interactions.

Autophagy induction under carbon starvation conditions is negatively regulated by carbon catabolite repression.

Project description:Autophagy is a conserved process in which cytoplasmic components are sequestered for degradation in the vacuole/lysosomes in eukaryotic cells. Autophagy is induced under a variety of starvation conditions, such as the depletion of nitrogen, carbon, phosphorus, zinc, and others. However, apart from nitrogen starvation, it remains unclear how these stimuli induce autophagy. In yeast, for example, it remains contentious whether autophagy is induced under carbon starvation conditions, with reports variously suggesting both induction and lack of induction upon depletion of carbon. We therefore undertook an analysis to account for these inconsistencies, concluding that autophagy is induced in response to abrupt carbon starvation when cells are grown with glycerol but not glucose as the carbon source. We found that autophagy under these conditions is mediated by nonselective degradation that is highly dependent on the autophagosome-associated scaffold proteins Atg11 and Atg17. We also found that the extent of carbon starvation-induced autophagy is positively correlated with cells' oxygen consumption rate, drawing a link between autophagy induction and respiratory metabolism. Further biochemical analyses indicated that maintenance of intracellular ATP levels is also required for carbon starvation-induced autophagy and that autophagy plays an important role in cell viability during prolonged carbon starvation. Our findings suggest that carbon starvation-induced autophagy is negatively regulated by carbon catabolite repression.

Structure theorems and the dynamics of nitrogen catabolite repression in yeast.

Project description:By using current biological understanding, a conceptually simple, but mathematically complex, model is proposed for the dynamics of the gene circuit responsible for regulating nitrogen catabolite repression (NCR) in yeast. A variety of mathematical "structure" theorems are described that allow one to determine the asymptotic dynamics of complicated systems under very weak hypotheses. It is shown that these theorems apply to several subcircuits of the full NCR circuit, most importantly to the URE2-GLN3 subcircuit that is independent of the other constituents but governs the switching behavior of the full NCR circuit under changes in nitrogen source. Under hypotheses that are fully consistent with biological data, it is proven that the dynamics of this subcircuit is simple periodic behavior in synchrony with the cell cycle. Although the current mathematical structure theorems do not apply to the full NCR circuit, extensive simulations suggest that the dynamics is constrained in much the same way as that of the URE2-GLN3 subcircuit. This finding leads to the proposal that mathematicians study genetic circuits to find new geometries for which structure theorems may exist.

A genome-wide analysis of carbon catabolite repression in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

Project description:BackgroundOptimal glucose metabolism is central to the growth and development of cells. In microbial eukaryotes, carbon catabolite repression (CCR) mediates the preferential utilization of glucose, primarily by repressing alternate carbon source utilization. In fission yeast, CCR is mediated by transcriptional repressors Scr1 and the Tup/Ssn6 complex, with the Rst2 transcription factor important for activation of gluconeogenesis and sexual differentiation genes upon derepression. Through genetic and genome-wide methods, this study aimed to comprehensively characterize CCR in fission yeast by identifying the genes and biological processes that are regulated by Scr1, Tup/Ssn6 and Rst2, the core CCR machinery.ResultsThe transcriptional response of fission yeast to glucose-sufficient or glucose-deficient growth conditions in wild type and CCR mutant cells was determined by RNA-seq and ChIP-seq. Scr1 was found to regulate genes involved in carbon metabolism, hexose uptake, gluconeogenesis and the TCA cycle. Surprisingly, a role for Scr1 in the suppression of sexual differentiation was also identified, as homothallic scr1 deletion mutants showed ectopic meiosis in carbon and nitrogen rich conditions. ChIP-seq characterised the targets of Tup/Ssn6 and Rst2 identifying regulatory roles within and independent of CCR. Finally, a subset of genes bound by all three factors was identified, implying that regulation of certain loci may be modulated in a competitive fashion between the Scr1, Tup/Ssn6 repressors and the Rst2 activator.ConclusionsBy identifying the genes directly and indirectly regulated by Scr1, Tup/Ssn6 and Rst2, this study comprehensively defined the gene regulatory networks of CCR in fission yeast and revealed the transcriptional complexities governing this system.

CcpA-Dependent Carbon Catabolite Repression Regulates Fructooligosaccharides Metabolism in Lactobacillus plantarum.

Project description:Fructooligosaccharides (FOSs) metabolism in Lactobacillus plantarum is controlled by two gene clusters, and the global regulator catabolite control protein A (CcpA) may be involved in the regulation. To understand the mechanism, this study focused on the regulation relationships of CcpA toward target genes and the binding effects on the catabolite responsive element (cre). First, reverse transcription-PCR analysis of the transcriptional organization of the FOS-related gene clusters showed that they were organized in three independent polycistronic units. Diauxic growth, hierarchical utilization of carbohydrates and repression of FOS-related genes were observed in cultures containing FOS and glucose, suggesting carbon catabolite repression (CCR) control in FOS utilization. Knockout of ccpA gene eliminated these phenomena, indicating the principal role of this gene in CCR of FOS metabolism. Furthermore, six potential cre sites for CcpA binding were predicted in the regions of putative promoters of the two clusters. Direct binding was confirmed by electrophoretic mobility shift assays in vitro and chromatin immunoprecipitation in vivo. The results of the above studies suggest that CcpA is a vital regulator of FOS metabolism in L. plantarum and that CcpA-dependent CCR regulates FOS metabolism through the direct binding of CcpA toward the cre sites in the promoter regions of FOS-related clusters.

Carbon catabolite repression in Lactobacillus pentosus: analysis of the ccpA region.

Project description:The catabolite control protein CcpA is a central regulator in low-G+C-content gram-positive bacteria. It confers carbon catabolite repression to numerous genes required for carbon utilization. It also operates as a transcriptional activator of genes involved in diverse phenomena, such as glycolysis and ammonium fixation. We have cloned the ccpA region of Lactobacillus pentosus. ccpA encodes a protein of 336 amino acids exhibiting similarity to CcpA proteins of other bacteria and to proteins of the LacI/GalR family of transcriptional regulators. Upstream of ccpA was found an open reading frame with similarity to the pepQ gene, encoding a prolidase. Primer extension experiments revealed two start sites of transcription for ccpA. In wild-type cells grown on glucose, mRNA synthesis occurred only from the promoter proximal to ccpA. In a ccpA mutant strain, both promoters were used, with increased transcription from the distant promoter, which overlaps a presumptive CcpA binding site called cre (for catabolite responsive element). This suggests that expression of ccpA is autoregulated. Determination of the expression levels of CcpA in cells grown on repressing and nonrepressing carbon sources revealed that the amounts of CcpA produced did not change significantly, leading to the conclusion that the arrangement of two promoters may ensure constant expression of ccpA under various environmental conditions. A comparison of the genetic structures of ccpA regions revealed that lactic acid bacteria possess the gene order pepQ-ccpA-variable while the genetic structure in bacilli and Staphylococcus xylosus is aroA-ccpA-variable-acuC.

Carbon catabolite repression in pectin digestion by the phytopathogen Dickeya dadantii.

Project description:The catabolism of pectin from plant cell walls plays a crucial role in the virulence of the phytopathogen Dickeya dadantii. In particular, the timely expression of pel genes encoding major pectate lyases is essential to circumvent the plant defense systems and induce massive pectinolytic activity during the maceration phase. Previous studies identified the role of a positive feedback loop specific to the pectin-degradation pathway, whereas the precise signals controlling the dynamics of pectate lyase expression were unclear. Here, we show that the latter is controlled by a metabolic switch involving both glucose and pectin. We measured the HPLC concentration profiles of the key metabolites related to these two sources of carbon, cAMP and 2-keto-3-deoxygluconate, and developed a dynamic and quantitative model of the process integrating the associated regulators, cAMP receptor protein and KdgR. The model describes the regulatory events occurring at the promoters of two major pel genes, pelE and pelD. It highlights that their activity is controlled by a mechanism of carbon catabolite repression, which directly controls the virulence of D. dadantii. The model also shows that quantitative differences in the binding properties of common regulators at these two promoters resulted in a qualitatively different role of pelD and pelE in the metabolic switch, and also likely in conditions of infection, justifying their evolutionary conservation as separate genes in this species.
