Project description:In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, deletion of genes encoding proteins of the large ribosomal subunit (RPLs) increases the replicative lifespan in a Gcn4-dependent manner. However, how Gcn4, a key transcriptional activator of amino acid biosynthesis genes, increases lifespan, is unknown. Here we show that Gcn4 acts as a repressor of protein synthesis. By analyzing the mRNA and protein abundance, the ribosome occupancy and protein synthesis rate in various yeast strains, we demonstrate that Gcn4 is sufficient to reduce protein synthesis and to increase yeast lifespan. Chromatin immunoprecipitation reveals Gcn4 binding not only at genes that are activated, but also at genes that are repressed upon Gcn4 overexpression. The promoters of repressed genes contain Rap1 binding motifs. Our data suggest that Gcn4 is a central regulator of protein synthesis under multiple perturbations - including ribosomal protein (RP) gene deletions, calorie restriction, rapamycin treatment - and provide an explanation for its role in longevity and stress response.

Project description:We have shown that multiple tRNA synthetase inhibitors can increase lifespan in both the nematode C. elegans and the budding yeast S. cerevisiae by acting through the conserved transcription factor Gcn4 (yeast) / ATF-4 (worms). To further understand the biology downstream of this conserved transcription factor in the yeast model system, we looked at two different yeast models known to have both upregulated Gcn4, and GCN4-dependent increased replicative lifespan. These two models are rpl31aΔ yeast, and yeast treated with the tRNA synthetase inhibitor borrelidin. We used both proteomic and RNAseq analysis of a block experimental design that included both of these models, to identify GCN4-dependent changes in these two longlived strains of yeast. Proteomic analysis of these yeast indicate that the longlived yeast have increased abundance of proteins involved in amino acid biosynthesis. RNASeq of these same yeast uncovered further regulation of protein turnover, identifying the differential expression of genes associated with both autophagy and with the ubiquitin proteasome system. The data presented here further underscore the important role that GCN4 and its orthologs play in the maintenance of protein homeostasis, which is itself an important hallmark of aging. Importantly, these changes could also have wider-ranging implications in the understanding and treatment of diseases of aging characterized by protein aggregation.

Project description:Poplars are known to be highly tolerant species to boron toxicity and accumulation. However, genes and molecular networks responsible in boron toxicity tolerance have not been investigated yet. Therefore, we performed a pot experiment with 20 black poplar clones collected from the vicinity of boron mines and polluted areas to investigate its potential role in phytoremediation and to select the most boron toxicity tolerant genotype. Trees were treated with irrigation water containing seven elevated boron concentrations from 0 to 160 ppm. Then a microarray based comparative transcriptome profiling was conducted to identify boron toxicity regulated genes responsible in defence responses of black poplar. The results of the study indicated that black poplar is quite suitable for phytoremediation of boron pollution. It could resist 15 ppm soil B content and < 1600 mg/kg boron accumulation in leaves which are highly toxic concentrations for almost all agricultural plants. Transcriptomics results of study revealed totally 1625 and 1419 altered probe sets under boron toxicity in leaf and root tissues, respectively. The highest induction were recorded for the probes sets annotated to tyrosine aminotransferase, ATP binding cassette transporters, glutathione S transferases and metallochaperone proteins. Strong up regulation of these genes attributed to internal excretion of boron into the cell vacuole and existence of detoxification processes in black poplar. Many candidate genes functional in signalling, gene regulation, antioxidation, boron uptake, transport and detoxification processes were also identified in the current study. This is the first transcriptomic study identifying boron toxicity regulated poplar genes and their potential role in boron toxicity tolerance.

Total RNA used in microarray experiment was isolated from the leaves and roots of black poplar clone; N.92.237 which accumulated the highest amount of boron its tissues. Total RNA used in the microarray experiment was isolated from leaves and roots of three black poplar saplings grown in ~ 2 ppm (control) and ~ 15 ppm (toxic) soil B contents. RNA isolation was made according to Lithium chloride precipitation method described in Chang et al. (1993). These three isolated RNAs (biological replicates) for each tissue loaded onto three Affymetrix poplar Gene Chips (technical replicates). Totally, 12 GeneChips (2 tissues Ã? 2 different B treatment Ã? 3 biological replicates) were used for transcriptional analysis.

Project description:Gcn4 is a yeast transcriptional activator induced by amino acid starvation. ChIP-seq analysis revealed 546 genomic sites occupied by Gcn4 in starved cells, representing ~30% of all Gcn4 binding-motifs. Deviation from the consensus motif and nucleosome occupancy are key negative determinants of Gcn4 binding. Surprisingly, only ~40% of the bound sites are in promoter regions, and only ~50-67% of these activate transcription, indicating extensive negative control over Gcn4 function. Most of the remaining ~300 Gcn4-bound sites are within coding sequences (CDS), with ~75 representing the only bound sites near Gcn4-induced genes. Many such unconventional sites map between divergent antisense and sub-genic sense transcripts induced within CDS, adjacent to induced TBP peaks—consistent with Gcn4 activation of cryptic, bidirectional internal promoters. Mutational analysis confirms that Gcn4 sites within CDS can activate sub-genic and full-length transcripts from the same or adjacent genes, showing that functional Gcn4 binding is not confined to promoters.
