Project description:The Kar4 protein has been identified as being a component of the yeast N6A mRNA methyltransferase, homologous to human METTL14. Mutations in KAR4 cause blocks in meiosis due to 1) reduced expression of Ime1p-induced transcripts, and 2) reduced levels of a subset of meiotic proteins, independent of their transcript levels. The reduced levels of the proteins are partially suppressed by increased levels of a translational regulator, Rim4. This proteomic study was aimed at identifying the spectrum of meiotic proteins affected by the absence of Kar4. The defect in Ime1p-depedent transcription was suppressed by over-expression of Ime1p. Proteins present in wildtype and kar4 deletion strains at two different times in meiosis were fractionated using reverse-phase chromatography and identified by MS/MS. Some 4068 proteins expressed during meiosis were identified. At 8 hours, 432 proteins were present at less than 50% the levels in kar4Δ/Δ compared to wild type. GO term analysis of the low proteins at 8 hours returned “meiotic cell cycle” as the sixth term with a P value of 7.74x10^-5. At 12 hours, 318 proteins were present at less than 50% the levels in kar4Δ/Δ relative to wild type. GO term analysis returned “meiotic cell cycle” as the second term with a P value less than 0.001. Proteins that were low at both 8 and 12 hours in kar4∆/∆ comprise proteins required for meiotic recombination and sporulation including Sps2p, Gas4p, Gmc2p, Mei5p, and Sae3p. Other meiotic proteins were expressed at or above wild type levels at 8 hours, but went down to lower than wild type levels at 12 hours, including Ecm11p, Hed1p, Spo11p, and Rec8p. In each case the levels of the proteins were reduced to much greater extents that can be explained by changes in transcript levels. Taken together these data suggest that Kar4 plays a role in the regulation of transcription and translation during yeast meiosis.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND:
Meiosis is the sexual reproduction process common to eukaryotes. The diploid yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae undergoes meiosis in sporulation medium to form four haploid spores. Initiation of the process is tightly controlled by intricate networks of positive and negative feedback loops. Intriguingly, expression of early meiotic proteins occurs within a narrow time window. Further, sporulation efficiency is strikingly different for yeast strains with distinct mutations or genetic backgrounds. To investigate signal transduction pathways that regulate transient protein expression and sporulation efficiency, we develop a mathematical model using ordinary differential equations. The model describes early meiotic events, particularly feedback mechanisms at the system level and phosphorylation of signaling molecules for regulating protein activities.
RESULTS:
The mathematical model is capable of simulating the orderly and transient dynamics of meiotic proteins including Ime1, the master regulator of meiotic initiation, and Ime2, a kinase encoded by an early gene. The model is validated by quantitative sporulation phenotypes of single-gene knockouts. Thus, we can use the model to make novel predictions on the cooperation between proteins in the signaling pathway. Virtual perturbations on feedback loops suggest that both positive and negative feedback loops are required to terminate expression of early meiotic proteins. Bifurcation analyses on feedback loops indicate that multiple feedback loops are coordinated to modulate sporulation efficiency. In particular, positive auto-regulation of Ime2 produces a bistable system with a normal meiotic state and a more efficient meiotic state.
CONCLUSIONS:
By systematically scanning through feedback loops in the mathematical model, we demonstrate that, in yeast, the decisions to terminate protein expression and to sporulate at different efficiencies stem from feedback signals toward the master regulator Ime1 and the early meiotic protein Ime2. We argue that the architecture of meiotic initiation pathway generates a robust mechanism that assures a rapid and complete transition into meiosis. This type of systems-level regulation is a commonly used mechanism controlling developmental programs in yeast and other organisms. Our mathematical model uncovers key regulations that can be manipulated to enhance sporulation efficiency, an important first step in the development of new strategies for producing gametes with high quality and quantity.

Project description:Early meiotic genes (EMGs) encompass an important subset within the developmental program of gametogenesis. Regulation of EMGs is achieved through the recognition of a common regulatory element in their promoters by the transcription factor Ume6. Proper meiotic execution requires the timely expression of EMGs, which is achieved through the adoption of the meiotic regulator Ime1 by Ume6. While it is known that Ime1’s binding to Ume6 promotes EMG expression, the mechanism of EMG activation remains unclear. Two competing models have been proposed: (1) Ime1 converts Ume6 to a coactivator complex, and (2) Ime1 binding targets Ume6 for degradation. Using a combination of tools including meiotic synchronization, temporally controlled protein depletion, protein-protein interaction engineering, and transcriptomics, here we address this conundrum. We identify 160 genes that are directly regulated by Ime1-Ume6, including UME6 itself. Removal of Ume6 shortly before meiotic entry is detrimental to EMG activation and gamete formation, whereas tethering of Ume6 to a heterologous activation domain is sufficient to trigger EMG expression and to generate viable gametes in the absence of Ime1. We conclude that Ime1-Ume6 functions as a coactivator complex. While Ume6 is indispensable for EMGs expression, Ime1 primarily serves as an evolutionarily tuned activation domain for Ume6.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most abundant mRNA modification, is deposited in mammals/insects/plants by m6A methyltransferase complexes (MTC) comprising a catalytic subunit and at least five additional proteins. The yeast MTC is critical for meiosis and was known to comprise three proteins, of which two were conserved. We uncover three novel MTC components (Kar4/Ygl036w-Vir1/Dyn2). All MTC subunits, except for Dyn2, are essential for m6A deposition and have corresponding mammalian MTC orthologs. Unlike the mammalian bipartite MTC, the yeast MTC is unipartite, yet multifunctional. The mRNA interacting module, comprising Ime4, Mum2, Vir1, and Kar4, exerts the MTC m6A-independent function, while Slz1 enables the MTC catalytic function in m6A deposition. Both functions are critical for meiotic progression. Kar4 also has a mechanistically separate role from the MTC during mating. The yeast MTC constituents play distinguishable m6A-dependent, MTC-dependent and MTC-independent functions, highlighting their complexity and paving the path towards dissecting multi-layered MTC functions in mammals.
