Project description:Target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) is implicated in growth control and aging from yeast to humans. Fission yeast is emerging as a popular model organism to study TOR signaling, although rapamycin has been thought to not affect cell growth in this organism. Here we analyzed the effects of rapamycin and caffeine, singly and combined, on multiple cellular processes in fission yeast. The two drugs led to diverse and specific phenotypes that depended on TORC1 signaling pathway inhibition, including prolonged chronological lifespan, inhibition of global translation, inhibition of cell growth and division, and reprogramming of global gene expression mimicking nitrogen starvation. Rapamycin and caffeine differentially affected these various TORC1-dependent processes. Combined drug treatment augmented most phenotypes and effectively blocked cell growth. Although rapamycin showed a much more subtle effect on global translation than did caffeine, rapamycin was more effective in prolonging chronological lifespan. Rapamycin prolonged the lifespan of non-growing cells only when applied during the growth phase but not when applied after cells had stopped proliferation. The doses of rapamycin and caffeine strongly correlated with growth inhibition and with lifespan extension. This comprehensive analysis will inform future studies into TORC1 function and cellular aging in fission yeast and beyond.

Project description:Target of Rapamycin Complex 1 (TORC1) signaling promotes growth and ageing. Inhibition of TORC1 leads to a down-regulation of factors that stimulate protein translation, which in turn contributes to longevity. TORC1-dependent post-transcriptional regulation of protein translation has been well studied, while analogous transcriptional regulation is less understood. Here we screened fission yeast deletion mutants for resistance to Torin1, which inhibits TORC1 and cell growth. Cells lacking the GATA transcription factor Gaf1 (gaf1Δ) grew normally even in high doses of Torin1. The gaf1Δ mutation shortened the chronological lifespan of non-dividing cells and diminished the longevity triggered by Torin1 treatment. Expression profiling and genome-wide binding experiments showed that, upon TORC1 inhibition, Gaf1 directly up-regulated genes for small-molecule metabolic pathways and indirectly repressed genes for protein translation. Surprisingly, Gaf1 bound to, and down-regulated the tRNA genes, so also functions as a transcription factor for genes transcribed by RNA polymerase III. Thus, Gaf1 controls the transcription of both coding and tRNA genes to inhibit translation and growth downstream of TORC1.

Project description:The Target Of Rapamycin (TOR) protein is a Ser/Thr kinase that functions in two distinct multiprotein complexes: TORC1 and TORC2. These conserved complexes regulate many different aspects of cell growth in response to intra- and extracellular cues. Here we report the first bona fide substrate of yeast TORC1: the AGC-kinase Sch9. Six amino acids in the c-terminus of Sch9 are directly phosphorylated by TORC1. Phosphorylation of these residues is lost upon rapamycin-treatment as well as carbon- or nitrogen-starvation and transiently reduced following application of osmotic, oxidative or thermal stress. TORC1-dependent phosphorylation is required for Sch9 activity and replacement of residues phosphorylated by TORC1 with Asp/Glu renders Sch9 activity TORC1-independent. Sch9 is required for TORC1 to properly regulate ribosome biogenesis, translation initiation and entry into G0 phase, but not expression of Gln3-dependent genes. Our results suggest that Sch9 functions analogously to the mammalian TORC1 substrate S6K1 rather than the mTORC2 substrate PKB/Akt. Keywords: time course, cell type. Global transcriptional analysis of rapamycin response was conducted on cells expressing either a wild-type, Sch9(WT), or TOR-independent allele of Sch9, Sch9(2D3E). Reference samples used were cells collected immediately prior to rapamycin treatment for the respective cell genotypes. Test samples were collected 20, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180min post rapamycin treatment.

Project description:Studies of aging and longevity are revealing how diseases that shorten life can be controlled to improve the quality of life and lifespan itself. Two strategies under intense study to accomplish this goal are rapamycin treatment and calorie restriction. New strategies are being discovered including one that uses low-dose myriocin treatment. Myriocin inhibits the first enzyme in sphingolipid synthesis in all eukaryotes and we showed recently that low-dose myriocin treatment increases yeast lifespan at least in part by down-regulating the sphingolipid-controlled Pkh1/2-Sch9 (ortholog of mammalian S6 kinase) signaling pathway. Here we show that myriocin treatment has global influences and modulates the evolutionarily conserved Snf1/AMPK, PKA and TORC1 signaling pathways to enhance yeast lifespan. These extensive affects of myriocin rival those of rapamycin and calorie restriction. Our studies in yeast along with other studies in mammals reveal the potential of myriocin or related compounds to lower the incidence of age-related diseases in humans. No-myriocin-treated cells and myriocin-treated cells; three biological replicates in each treatment

Project description:To resolve the temporal sequence of phosphorylation events responding to nutritional and chemically induced up and downshifts of TORC1 signaling in S. cerevisiae wildtype, we performed quantitative MS phosphoproteomics upon nitrogen-quality up and downshifts and rapamycin treatment. We generated a high quality dataset byapplying a high resolution sampling, parallel sample processing and a dedicated data analysis pipeline that allowed us to select significant transient dynamics. By exploiting the temporal resolution of our data and the complementary of the shift experiments, we identified early phosphorylation changes regulated directly by TORC1 or by its proximal substrate kinases, and found both established and novel candidate TORC1 targets. Among the candidateTORC1 targets were the metabolic enzymes Amd1, Hom3, Nth1 and Tsl1, involved in nucleotide, amino acid and storage carbohydrate metabolism. Functional assessment of the role of phosphorylation for these and other enzymes was achieved by correlating phosphopeptide with the corresponding enzyme-associated metabolite dynamics. Candidate kinases regulating these enzymes were identified by establishing TORC1-proximity and differential kinase activity criteria. Our work provides first evidence of TORC1-dependent regulation of the metabolic enzymes Amd1and Hom3 by the kinases Sch9 and Atg1, respectively, providing mechanistic insights into on how TORC1 controls nucleotide and amino acid metabolism in response to the quality of the nitrogen source.

Project description:To study TORC1-Atg1 signaling comprehensively and to identify potential additional foci of crosstalk, we chose a mass spectrometry (MS)-based phosphoproteomics strategy combing global proteomics screens in vivo with targeted analyses using in vitro kinase reactions. We present the currently largest compendium of rapamycin-sensitive phosphorylation events in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, identify numerous unknown TORC1 and Atg1 downstream phosphorylation events, and characterize hitherto unknown, functionally relevant TORC1 target sites on defined Atg proteins.
