Polarized growth in the absence of F-actin in Saccharomyces cerevisiae exiting quiescence.

ABSTRACT: Polarity establishment and maintenance are crucial for morphogenesis and development. In budding yeast, these two intricate processes involve the superposition of regulatory loops between polarity landmarks, RHO GTPases, actin-mediated vesicles transport and endocytosis. Deciphering the chronology and the significance of each molecular step of polarized growth is therefore very challenging.We have taken advantage of the fact that yeast quiescent cells display actin bodies, a non polarized actin structure, to evaluate the role of F-actin in bud emergence. Here we show that upon exit from quiescence, actin cables are not required for the first steps of polarized growth. We further show that polarized growth can occur in the absence of actin patch-mediated endocytosis. We finally establish, using latrunculin-A, that the first steps of polarized growth do not require any F-actin containing structures. Yet, these structures are required for the formation of a bona fide daughter cell and cell cycle completion. We propose that upon exit from quiescence in the absence of F-actin, secretory vesicles randomly reach the plasma membrane but preferentially dock and fuse where polarity cues are localized, this being sufficient to trigger polarized growth.

Project description:IntroductionThe switch from quiescence (G0) into G1 and cell cycle progression critically depends on specific nutrients and metabolic capabilities. Conversely, metabolic networks are regulated by enzyme-metabolite interaction and transcriptional regulation that lead to flux modifications to support cell growth. How cells process and integrate environmental information into coordinated responses is challenging to analyse and not yet described quantitatively.ObjectivesTo quantitatively monitor the central carbon metabolism during G0 exit and the first 2 h after reentering the cell cycle from synchronized Saccharomyces cerevisiae.MethodsDynamic tailored 13C metabolic flux analysis was used to observe the intracellular metabolite flux changes, and the metabolome and proteome were observed to identify regulatory mechanisms.ResultsG0 cells responded immediately to an extracellular increase of glucose. The intracellular metabolic flux changed in time and specific events were observed. High fluxes into trehalose and glycogen synthesis were observed during the G0 exit. Both fluxes then decreased, reaching a minimum at t?=?65 min. Here, storage degradation contributed significantly (i.e. 21%) to the glycolytic flux. In contrast to these changes, the glucose uptake rate remained constant after the G0 exit. The flux into the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway was highest (29-fold increase, 36.4% of the glucose uptake) at t?=?65 min, while it was very low at other time points. The maximum flux seems to correlate with a late G1 state preparing for the S phase transition. In the G1/S phase (t?=?87 min), anaplerotic reactions such as glyoxylate shunt increased. Protein results show that during this transition, proteins belonging to clusters related with ribosome biogenesis and assembly, and initiation transcription factors clusters were continuously synthetised.ConclusionThe intracellular flux distribution changes dynamically and these major rearrangements highlight the coordinate reorganization of metabolic flux to meet requirements for growth during different cell state.
