Transcriptional heterogeneity shapes stress-adaptive responses in yeast

ABSTRACT: In response to stress, cells activate signaling pathways that coordinate broad changes in gene expression to enhance cell survival. Remarkably, complex variations in gene expression occur even in isogenic populations and in response to similar signaling inputs. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this variability and their influence on adaptive cell fate decisions are not fully understood. Here, we use scRNA-seq to longitudinally assess transcriptional dynamics during osmoadaptation in yeast. Our findings reveal highly heterogeneous expression of the osmoresponsive program, which organizes into combinatorial patterns that generate distinct cellular programs. The induction of these programs is favored by global transcriptome repression upon stress. Cells displaying basal expression of the osmoresponsive program are hyper-responsive and resistant to stress. Through a transcription-focused analysis of more than 300 RNA-barcoded deletion mutants, we identify genetic factors that shape the heterogeneity of the osmostress-induced transcriptome, define regulators of stress-related subpopulations and find a link between transcriptional heterogeneity and increased cell fitness. Our findings provide a regulatory map of the complex transcriptional phenotypes underlying osmoadaptation in yeast and highlight the importance of transcriptional heterogeneity in generating distinct adaptive strategies.

Data-driven identification of inherent features of eukaryotic stress-responsive genes

Project description:Virtually all living organisms are challenged by changes in their environment, such as sudden increases in osmolarity. To survive, cells have developed stress-responsive mechanisms that tune functions such as metabolism and gene expression. The response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to osmostress includes a massive reprogramming of gene expression. Identifying the inherent features of stress-responsive genes is of significant interest for understanding the basic principles underlying the rewiring of gene expression upon stress. Here we generated a comprehensive catalog of osmotress-responsive genes from 5 independent RNA-seq experiments. We explored 30 features of yeast genes and found that 25 (83.34%) were distinct in osmostress-responsive genes. We then identified a subset of 13 non-redundant minimal osmostress gene traits and used statistical modeling to generate a ranking of the most stress-predictive features. Our findings reveal that the most relevant features of osmostress-responsive genes are the number of transcription factors targeting a gene and gene conservation. The same features that define yeast osmostress-responsive genes can also be used to predict osmostress-responsive genes in humans, although the most predictive features in humans are GC content and mRNA half-life. Our study provides a holistic understanding of the basic principles of the regulation of stress-responsive gene expression across eukaryotes.

Polyol stress: time course

Project description:It is unclear how the amount of active nuclear MAPK over time quantitatively affects transcription. Here, we seek to address this issue by studying signal transduction and transcriptional response in a system that separates signalling from adaptation and hence signal strength from signal duration. The system is based on Saccharomyces cerevisiae osmoadaptation and allows modulation of the period of HOG-dependent responses without changing the initial stress intensity. The conditional osmotic stress system includes (i) a yeast mutant (gpd1 gpd2) unable to produce its main osmolyte glycerol, subsequently stressed with (ii) a stress inductor (polyols of different sizes) and allowed to adapt by (iii) expression of polyol flux-mediating aquaglyceroporin (rat AQP9). As there is no endogenous glycerol production, the osmoadaptation rate depends only on the size dependent equilibration rate over the plasma membrane of the polyol used as both stress inductor and compatible solute. Hence, we apply initially identical stresses but with differential durations, and determine the global transcriptional response.

Study of ribosome dynamics after osmotic stress in Lsm1 and Pat1 deletions

Project description:In this study, we aim to understand how the fates of stress-activated mRNAs are determined under stress conditions by isolating individual osmostress-activated mRNA species, quantitating the proteins associated in vivo with each of them, and analyzing how deletion of these proteins impact on the expression of stress-activated genes. By comparison with the proteome associated with individual not stress-related mRNA species, we show specific proteins to be preferentially binding to osmostress-activated mRNAs, notably members of the cytoplasmic Pat1 / Lsm1 – 7 complex. We evaluated the impact of this complex on the stress response by analyzing expression of osmostress-activated genes, production of osmo-protein and, mapping ribosome transit at single nucleotide resolution using 5’-phosphate sequencing of mRNAs in lsm1 and pat1 mutants. We conclude that our biochemical co-purification approach has successfully identified RNA-binding proteins with a particular role in regulating post-transcriptional expression of stress-activated mRNAs.

The yeast osmostress response is carbon source dependent

Project description:Adaptation to altered osmotic conditions is a fundamental property of living cells and has been studied in particular detail in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Yeast cells accumulate glycerol as compatible solute, controlled at different levels by the High Osmolarity Glycerol (HOG) response pathway. Up to now, essentially all osmostress studies in yeast have been performed with glucose as carbon and energy source, which is metabolised by glycolysis with glycerol is as a normal by-product. Here we investigated the response of yeast to osmotic stress when yeast is respiring ethanol as carbon and energy source. Remarkably, yeast cells do not accumulate glycerol under these conditions and it appears that trehalose may partly take over the role as compatible solute. The HOG pathway is activated in very much the same way as in during growth on glucose medium and is also required for osmotic adaptation. Slower volume recovery was observed in ethanol-grown cells as compared to glucose-grown cells. Dependence on key regulators as well as the global gene expression profile were similar in many ways to those previously observed in glucose-grown cells. However, there are indications that cells re-arrange redox-metabolism when respiration is hampered under osmostress, a feature that could not be observed in glucose-grown cells.

Topographic mapping of the glioblastoma proteome reveals a triple axis model of intra-tumoral heterogeneity

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive form of brain cancer with well-established patterns of intra-tumoral heterogeneity implicated in treatment resistance, recurrence and progression. While regional and single cell transcriptomic variations of GBM have been recently resolved, downstream phenotype-level proteomic programs have yet to be assigned to specific niches. Here, we leverage mass spectrometry to spatially align abundance levels of 4,794 proteins to GBM’s hallmark histomorphologic niches across 20 patients and define distinct molecular programs operational within these regional tumor compartments. Using machine learning, we overlay concordant transcriptional information, and define two distinct proteogenomic programs, MYC- and KRAS-axis hereon, that cooperate with hypoxia to produce a tri-dimensional model of intra-tumoral heterogeneity. Importantly, we show using multiple cohorts, that GBMs with an enhanced KRAS component harbor a more clinically aggressive and infiltrative phenotype. Conversely, tumor cells enriched along the MYC axis where mutually exclusive and had a distinct proliferative program. Moreover, by applying both experimental and computational approaches to link each of these distinct molecular axes with potential pharmacological therapies, we highlight differential drug sensitivities and a notable relative chemoresistance in GBM cell lines with enhanced KRAS programs. Importantly, pharmacological differences were less evident when using traditional expression-based subgroups supporting thattopographic phenotypic mapping ofGBM, and the proposed axes may provide new insights for targeting heterogeneity and overcoming therapy resistance in this aggressive disease.

A genetic analysis reveals novel histone residues required for transcriptional reprogramming upon stress

Project description:Cells have the ability to sense, respond and adapt to environmental fluctuations. Stress causes a massive reorganization of the transcriptional program. Many examples of histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) have been associated with transcriptional activation or repression under steady-state growth conditions. Comparatively less is known about the role of histone PTMs in the cellular adaptive response to stress. Here, we performed high-throughput genetic screenings that provide a novel global map of the histone residues required for transcriptional reprogramming in response to heat and osmotic stress. Of note, we observed that the histone residues needed depend on the type of gene and/or stress, thereby suggesting a “personalized”, rather than general, subset of histone requirements for each chromatin context. In addition, we identified a number of new residues that unexpectedly serve to regulate transcription. As a proof of concept, we characterized the function of the histone residues H4-S47 and H4-T30 in response to osmotic and heat stress, respectively. Our results uncover novel roles for the kinases Cla4 and Ste20, yeast homologs of the mammalian PAK2 family, which phosphorylate H4-S47 and for the kinase Ste11 that targets H4-T30. This study provides new insights into the role of histone residues in transcriptional regulation under stress conditions.

Gene expression analysis using RNA Sequencing of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae HTA1-S121A strain upon thermo and osmotic stress.

Project description:To study the relevance of the post-translational modification in the H2A histone residue S121, we assessed the genome-wide transcriptional response of the non-phosphorylatable histone mutant HTA1-S121A (H2AS121A) upon two different stress conditions; osmostress and heat shock. Results point out that the unphosphorylatable H2AS121A protein showed an impaired stress responsive gene expression indicating that this specific histone residue plays a relevant role in stress responsive transcriptional regulation.

Survival in quiescence requires the euchromatic deployment of Clr4/SUV39H by Argonaute-associated small RNAs [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Cellular quiescence (G0) is a ubiquitous stress response through which cells enter a state of reversible dormancy, acquiring distinct properties including reduced metabolism, resistance to stress and long life. G0 entry involves dramatic changes to the chromatin landscape and transcriptional program of cells, but the mechanisms coordinating these processes remain poorly understood. Using the fission yeast, here we track the G0-associated chromatin and transcriptional changes temporally. We show that as cells enter G0, their survival and global gene expression programs become increasingly dependent on Clr4/SUV39H, the sole histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) methyltransferase, and RNA interference (RNAi) proteins. Notably, G0 entry results in RNAi-dependent H3K9 methylation of several euchromatic regions, prior to which Argonaute 1-associated small RNAs from these regions emerge. Overall our data reveal a new function for constitutive heterochromatin proteins in establishing the global G0 transcriptional program and suggest that stress-induced alterations in Argonaute-associated sRNAs can specify the deployment of transcriptional regulatory proteins to unique sites in eukaryotic genomes.
