Project description:Candida albicansis a commensal yeast that has important impacts on host metabolism and immune function, and can establish life-threatening infections in immunocompromised individuals. Previously,C. albicanscolonization has been shown to contribute to the progression and severity of alcoholic liver disease. However, relatively little is known about howC. albicansresponds to changing environmental conditions in the GI tract of individuals with alcohol use disorder, namely repeated exposure to ethanol. In this study, we repeatedly exposedC. albicansto high concentrations (10% vol/vol) of ethanol—a concentration that can be observed in the upper GI tract of humans following consumption of alcohol. Following this repeated exposure protocol, ethanol small colony (Esc) variants ofC. albicansisolated from these populations exhibited increased ethanol tolerance, altered transcriptional responses to ethanol, and cross-resistance/tolerance to the frontline antifungal fluconazole. These Esc strains exhibited chromosomal copy number variations and carried polymorphisms in genes previously associated with the acquisition of fluconazole resistance during human infection. This study identifies a selective pressure that can result in evolution of fluconazole tolerance and resistance without previous exposure to the drug.

Project description:Fuel ethanol is now considered a global energy commodity that is fully competitive with gasoline. We have determined genome copy number differences that are common to five industrially important fuel ethanol yeast strains responsible for the production of billions of gallons of fuel ethanol per year from sugarcane. The fuel strains used were CAT1, BG1, PE2, SA1, and VR1 (note that two independent isolates were analyzed, denoted by "-1" and "-2"). These array-CGH data were compared with array-CGH data from nine other non-fuel industrial yeasts: An ale brewing strain ("Sc-ale"), four wine strains (GSY2A, GSY3A, GSY10A, GSY11B), and 4 bakers' yeast strains (GSY149, GSY150, GSY154, GSY155). Our results reveal significant amplifications of the telomeric SNO and SNZ genes only in the fuel strains, whose protein products are involved in the biosynthesis of vitamins B6 (pyridoxine) and B1 (thiamin). We show that these amplifications allow these yeasts to grow efficiently, especially at high sugar concentrations, regardless of the presence or absence of either of the two vitamins. Our results reveal important genetic adaptations that have been selected for in the industrial environment, which may be required for the efficient fermentation of biomass-derived sugars from other renewable feedstocks. A strain or line experiment design type assays differences between multiple strains, cultivars, serovars, isolates, lines from organisms of a single species. Strain Name: fuel strains used for aCGH

Project description:Azole antifungal agents such as fluconazole exhibit fungistatic activity against Candida albicans. Strategies to enhance azole antifungal activity would be therapeutically appealing. In an effort to identify transcriptional pathways that influence fluconazole susceptibility, we sought to identify transcription factors (TFs) involved in this process. From a collection of C. albicans strains disrupted for genes encoding TFs (Homann et al., PLoS Genet. 2009;5:e1000783), four exhibited a marked reduction in minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) in both RPMI and YPD media. One of these, UPC2, has been previously characterized with regard to its role in azole susceptibility. Of mutants representing the three remaining TF genes of interest, one (CAS5) was unable to recover from fluconazole exposure at concentrations as low as 2 µg/mL after 72 hours in YPD medium. This mutant also showed reduced susceptibility and a clear zone of inhibition by Etest, was unable to grow on solid media containing 10 µg/mL fluconazole, and exhibited increased susceptibility by time-kill analysis. CAS5 disruption in highly azole-resistant clinical isolates exhibiting multiple resistance mechanisms did not alter susceptibility. However, CAS5 disruption in strains with specific resistance mutations in ergosterol biosynthesis or efflux pumps resulted in a moderate reduction in MIC and MFC. Genome-wide transcriptional analysis was performed in the presence of fluconazole and was consistent with the suggested role of CAS5 in cell wall organization while also suggesting a role in iron transport and homeostasis. These findings suggest that Cas5 regulates a transcriptional network that influences susceptibility of C. albicans to fluconazole. Further delineation of this transcriptional network may identify targets for potential co-therapeutic strategies to enhance the activity to the azole class of antifungals.

Project description:Cellular tolerance toward ethanol is a complex phenotype involved many genes, and hard to be improved by manipulating individual genes. We previously established exogenous global regulator IrrE mutants that confer Escherichia coli with significantly enhanced tolerance to stresses, including ethanol. In order to elucidate the mechanism for enhancement of ethanol tolerance in the mutants and to identify new genes and pathways that can be possible targets for engineering of ethanol tolerance, we carried out comparative transcriptomic and proteomic analyses with the representative strains E1 and E0 (harboring the ethanol-tolerant mutant E1 of IrrE and the wild type IrrE, respectively). The data from transcriptome analyses were deposited here.
