Small RNAs in budding yeast

ABSTRACT: RNAi, a gene-silencing pathway triggered by double-stranded RNA, is conserved in diverse eukaryotic species but has been lost in the model budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We report that RNAi is present in other budding-yeast species, including Saccharomyces castellii and Candida albicans. These species use noncanonical Dicer proteins to generate siRNAs, which mostly correspond to transposable elements and Y´ subtelomeric repeats. In S. castellii, RNAi mutants are viable but have excess Y´ mRNA levels. In S. cerevisiae, introducing Dicer and Argonaute of S. castellii restores RNAi, and the reconstituted pathway silences endogenous retrotransposons. These results identify a novel class of Dicer proteins, bring the tool of RNAi to the study of budding yeasts, and bring the tools of budding yeast to the study of RNAi.

Xrn1p Acts at Multiple Steps in the Budding-Yeast RNAi Pathway to Enhance the Efficiency of Silencing

Project description:RNA interference (RNAi) is a gene-silencing pathway that can play roles in viral defense, transposon silencing, heterochromatin formation, and post-transcriptional gene silencing. Although absent from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, RNAi is present in other budding-yeast species, including Naumovozyma castellii, which have an unusual Dicer and a conventional Argonaute that are both required for gene silencing. To identify other factors that act in the budding-yeast pathway, we performed an unbiased genetic selection. This selection identified Xrn1p, the cytoplasmic 5′-to-3′ exoribonuclease, as a cofactor of RNAi in budding yeast. Deletion of XRN1 impaired gene silencing in N. castellii, and this impaired silencing was attributable to multiple functions of Xrn1p, including affecting the composition of siRNA species in the cell, influencing the efficiency of siRNA loading into Argonaute, degradation of cleaved passenger strand, and degradation of sliced target RNA.

Dcr1-GFP is functional for 22-23 nt small RNAs production

Project description:Antisense (as)lncRNAs are extensively degraded by the nuclear exosome and the cytoplasmic exoribonuclease Xrn1 in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, lacking RNA interference (RNAi). Whether the ribonuclease III Dicer affects aslncRNAs in close RNAi-capable relatives remains unknown. Using genome-wide RNA profiling, here we show that aslncRNAs are primarily targeted by the exosome and Xrn1 in the RNAi-capable budding yeast Naumovozyma castellii, Dicer only affecting Xrn1-sensitive lncRNAs (XUTs) levels in Xrn1-deficient cells. The dcr1 and xrn1 mutants display synergic growth defects, indicating that Dicer becomes critical in the absence of Xrn1. Small RNA sequencing showed that Dicer processes aslncRNAs into small RNAs, with a preference for asXUTs. Consistently, Dicer localizes into the cytoplasm. Finally, we observed an expansion of the exosome-sensitive antisense transcriptome in N. castellii compared to S. cerevisiae, suggesting that the presence of cytoplasmic RNAi has reinforced the nuclear RNA surveillance machinery to temper aslncRNAs expression. Our data provide fundamental insights into aslncRNAs metabolism and open perspectives into the possible evolutionary contribution of RNAi in shaping the aslncRNAs transcriptome.

Project description:Cell-cycle transcript dynamics from two species of wild-type budding yeast growing at 30 degrees Celsius in rich media: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (BF264-15D background) and Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii (H99F background). We compared programs of cell-cycle-regulated genes between distantly related budding yeasts.

Evolutionary rewiring of the ROX genes controlling hypoxic response in yeasts

Project description:Unusually among fungi, Saccharomyces cerevisiae is able to grow in environments containing almost no oxygen. A major feature of its response to hypoxia is a transition in expression from aerobic to hypoxic genes, which often code for duplicated isoforms of the same protein. In aerobic conditions, expression of the hypoxic gene set is repressed by the HMG domain protein Rox1. Here, we examined the evolution of ROX1 and related genes in the subphylum Saccharomycotina and find that a substantial reorganization of hypoxic gene regulation occurred during yeast evolution. S. cerevisiae lost ROX2, an ancient paralog of ROX1, which is almost universally present in other yeast species. ROX2 is orthologous to Candida albicans RFG1, a regulator of filamentous growth. Many yeasts, such as Candida glabrata, lack ROX1 and contain only ROX2. Others such as Naumovozyma castellii retain both genes. Although the ancestral function of ROX2 is uncertain, we find that it is not a regulator of hypoxic genes except in C. glabrata where it has taken over this function from the absent ROX1. We also find that N. castellii has a greatly attenuated transcriptional response to hypoxia as compared to other species, but that the ergosterol pathway which is normally induced by hypoxia can be induced by cobalt chloride stress in N. castellii.
