Project description:The SAGA complex is a conserved multifunctional coactivator known to play broad roles in eukaryotic transcription. To gain new insights into its functions, we have performed biochemical and genetic analyses of SAGA in the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Purification of the S. pombe SAGA complex showed that its subunit composition is identical to that of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Analysis of S. pombe SAGA mutants revealed that SAGA has two opposing roles regulating sexual differentiation. First, in nutrient rich conditions, the SAGA histone acetyltransferase, Gcn5, represses ste11+, which encodes the master regulator of the mating pathway. In contrast, the SAGA subunit Spt8 is required for the induction of ste11+ upon nutrient starvation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments suggest that these regulatory effects are direct, as SAGA is physically associated with the ste11+ promoter independent of nutrient levels. Genetic tests suggest that nutrient levels do cause a switch in SAGA function, as spt8? suppresses gcn5? with respect to ste11+ derepression in rich medium, whereas the opposite relationship, gcn5? suppression of spt8?, occurs during starvation. Thus, SAGA plays distinct roles in the control of the switch from proliferation to differentiation in S. pombe through the dynamic and opposing activities of Gcn5 and Spt8.

Project description:Inhibition of fungal growth by Congo Red (CR) has been known for a long time and claimed to be associated to a specific binding to fibrillar chains of β-1,3-glucans which blocks cell wall polysaccharide synthesis. It has also been suggested that the effect of CR could be pleiotropic, especially because of its oxido-reductive properties. One way to elucidate the mechanism of action of CR is to identify transcription factors (TF) which regulate the response to CR and interrogate their regulon. The analysis of TF mutants with differential sensitivity to CR would be also a way to identify new regulatory pathways involved in cell wall biosynthesis. During the investigation of the sensitivity to CR of a TF mutant library, several mutants either sensitive or resistant to CR were analysed . The morphology of the conidial germination was affected differently by CR in the parental strain and TF mutants. Abnormal distorted swollen conidia called Quasimodo cells were seen in presence of the CR. The size of the Quasimodo cells in the resistant mutants are bigger and adsorb more CR than the germinating conidia of the sensitive or parental strain. This is associated to a difference in permeability of the mutants. The clearing of the drug from the medium by the resistant strain was mainly responsible for the survival and later growth of some of resting conidia of these mutants which did not adsorb intracellularly the drug whereas in the sensitive mutants all conidia adsorbed the drug and were consequently killed. Although there are some modifications of the composition of the cell wall, a transcriptomic analysis of the mutant showed that CR affected many different pathways, including iron and calcium metabolism. Accordingly, the susceptibility to other cell wall drugs of the sensitive and the resistant TF mutants varied with the mutants and not always in connexion with their sensitivity to CR. Interestingly, a new paradoxical effect of the CR was discovered in the resistant mutant since the growth of one of them could be stimulated after recovering from the CR stress.

Project description:Ada1, Spt-Ada-Gcn5 Acetyltransferase (SAGA) complex component, was isolated as boundary factor that separated silenced chromatin and euchromatin by previous screening, and Ada1 maintains SAGA complex integrity. SAGA complex is one of a histone modification complex that has multiple functions contributing to transcriptional activation. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, silencing is occurred by Sir protein complex, which deacetylates histones and form high-order chromatin structure. Gcn5, SAGA complex component, has histone acetyltransferase activity, which is considered that antagonize to silencing by the screening. Ada1 and Gcn5 might have different functions in SAGA complex, we performed microarray analysis to find different functions of gene regulations by using ada1Δ and gcn5Δ strains. As the results, Ada1-regulated genes include more than halves of Gcn5-regelated genes, which occupied only a part of Ada1 regulated genes. These suggest that the differences of contribution to SAGA functions. When SAGA complex have a loss of Ada1, almost function was lost. On the other hand, Gcn5 play a role only as acetyltransferase in SAGA complex.

Project description:Although the conserved histone acetyltransferase HAG1/GCN5-containing complex SAGA (Spt-Ada-Gcn5 acetyltransferase) has been extensively studied in plants, whether HAG1 forms a plant-specific complex is unknown. Here, we identified a plant-specific GCN5-containing complex, PAGA (plant-ADA2A-GCN5-acetyltransferase), in Arabidopsis thaliana; the complex consists of two conserved subunits (HAG1/GCN5 and ADA2A) and four plant-specific subunits (SPC, ING1, SDRL, and EAF6). In the PAGA complex, SPC functions as a scaffold protein that is responsible for integrating the other subunits. SPC also enhances the binding of ING1 to histone H3 with methylated lysine 4 and promotes the histone acetylation activity of HAG1. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing indicated that PAGA not only shares target genes with SAGA but also has its specific target genes. While PAGA and SAGA promote transcription by mediating moderate and high levels of histone acetylation, respectively, at different sets of genes, PAGA can also function antagonistically against SAGA to prevent excessive transcription of PAGA- and SAGA-shared target genes. Unlike SAGA, which regulates multiple biological processes, PAGA is mainly involved in plant height and branch growth by regulating the transcription of genes involved in hormone biosynthesis and response. These results indicate that the HAG1-containing SAGA and PAGA complexes are coordinated to regulate gene transcription and development.
