Project description:Chronologically aging yeast cells are prone to adaptive regrowth, whereby mutants with a survival advantage spontaneously appear and re-enter the cell cycle in stationary phase cultures. Adaptive regrowth is especially noticeable with short-lived strains, including those defective for SNF1, the homolog of mammalian AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). SNF1 becomes active in response to multiple environmental stresses that occur in chronologically aging cells, including glucose depletion and oxidative stress. SNF1 is also required for the extension of chronological lifespan (CLS) by caloric restriction (CR) as defined as limiting glucose at the time of culture inoculation. To identify specific downstream SNF1 targets responsible for CLS extension during CR, we screened for adaptive regrowth mutants that restore chronological longevity to a short-lived snf1∆ parental strain. Whole genome sequencing of the adapted mutants revealed missense mutations in TPR motifs 9 and 10 of the transcriptional co-repressor Cyc8 that specifically mediate repression through the transcriptional repressor Mig1. Another mutation occurred in MIG1 itself, thus implicating the activation of Mig1-repressed genes as a key function of SNF1 in maintaining CLS. Consistent with this conclusion, the cyc8 TPR mutations partially restored growth on alternative carbon sources and significantly extended CLS compared to the snf1∆ parent. Furthermore, cyc8 TPR mutations reactivated multiple Mig1-repressed genes, including the transcription factor gene CAT8, which is responsible for activating genes of the glyoxylate and gluconeogenesis pathways. Deleting CAT8 completely blocked CLS extension by the cyc8 TPR mutations on CLS, identifying these pathways as key Snf1-regulated CLS determinants.

Project description:The highly conserved heterotrimeric protein kinase SNF1 is important for metabolic adaptations in the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans. A key function of SNF1 is to inactivate the repressor protein Mig1 and thereby allow the expression of genes that are required for the the utilization of alternative carbon sources when the preferred carbon source glucose is absent or becomes limiting. However, how SNF1 controls Mig1 activity in C. albicans has remained elusive. Using a phosphoproteomic approach, we found that Mig1 is phosphorylated at multiple serine residues. Replacement of these serine residues by nonphosphorylatable alanine residues strongly increased the repressor activity of Mig1 in cells lacking a functional SNF1 complex, indicating that additional protein kinases are involved in the regulation of Mig1. Unlike wild-type Mig1, whose levels strongly decreased when the cells were grown on sucrose or glycerol instead of glucose, the levels of a mutant Mig1 protein lacking nine phosphorylation sites remained high under these conditions. Despite the increased protein levels and the absence of multiple phosphorylation sites, cells with a functional SNF1 complex could still sufficiently inhibit the hyperactive Mig1 to enable wild-type growth on alternative carbon sources. In line with this, phosphorylated forms of the mutant Mig1 were still detected in the presence and absence of a functional SNF1, demonstrating that Mig1 contains additional, unidentified phosphorylation sites and that downstream protein kinases are involved in the control of Mig1 activity by SNF1.

Project description:The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a major model system in the study of aging. Like metazoans, yeast lifespan is extended by caloric restriction and treatment with pharmacological agents which extend lifespan. A major workhorse of aging research in budding yeast is the chronological lifespan assay. Traditionally, chronological lifespan assays consist of taking regular samples of aging yeast cultures, plating out aliquots on agar, and counting the resulting colonies. This method, while highly reliable, is labor-intensive and expensive in terms of materials consumed. Here, we report a novel MTT-based method for assessing chronological lifespan in yeast. We show that this method is equal to the colony counting method in its rigorous and reliable measurement of lifespan extension in yeast as a result of caloric restriction, and is able to distinguish known long-lived and short-lived yeast strains. We have further developed this method into a high-throughput assay that allows rapid screening of potential anti-aging compounds as well as yeast strains with altered lifespan. Application of this method permits the rapid identification of anti-aging activities in yeast and may facilitate identification of materials with therapeutic potential for higher animals and, most importantly, humans.

Project description:The chronological lifespan of eukaryotic organisms is extended by the mutational inactivation of conserved growth-signaling pathways that regulate progression into and through the cell cycle. Here we show that in the budding yeast S. cerevisiae, these and other lifespan-extending conditions, including caloric restriction and osmotic stress, increase the efficiency with which nutrient-depleted cells establish or maintain a cell cycle arrest in G1. Proteins required for efficient G1 arrest and longevity when nutrients are limiting include the DNA replication stress response proteins Mec1 and Rad53. Ectopic expression of CLN3 encoding a G1 cyclin downregulated during nutrient depletion increases the frequency with which nutrient depleted cells arrest growth in S phase instead of G1. Ectopic expression of CLN3 also shortens chronological lifespan in concert with age-dependent increases in genome instability and apoptosis. These findings indicate that replication stress is an important determinant of chronological lifespan in budding yeast. Protection from replication stress by growth-inhibitory effects of caloric restriction, osmotic and other stresses may contribute to hormesis effects on lifespan. Replication stress also likely impacts the longevity of higher eukaryotes, including humans.

Project description:Histone modification affects life span in various organisms. The loss of Histone H3K36 methylation can shorten replicative life span in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, budding yeast, as a model organism for aging research, has replicative life span (RLS) and chronological life span (CLS). In this study, we showed that the loss of Histone H3K36 methylation can shorten CLS in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We identified Ubc3/Bre1 mediates polyubiquitination of Set2 K25 and K530 at log phase and stationary phase, and Bre1 interacts with Ubc3 and Rad6 simultaneously. BRE1 knockout can stabilize Set2 protein to maintain H3K36me3 and regulate the transcription of aging related genes, such as DSE1/DSE2/SUN4/EGT2/SCW11. We also proved that Gcn5-mediated Set2 acetylation regulates Set2 protein stability and chronological aging. Altogether, our study showed that knockout of BRE1 and GCN5 regulate Set2 protein level by mediating the polyubiquitination of Set2 to influence the level of H3K36me3 and the transcription level of aging related genes enriched by H3K36me3, thereby extending the chronological life span.

Project description:Vaccinia virus-related kinase (VRK) is an evolutionarily conserved nuclear protein kinase. VRK-1, the single Caenorhabditis elegans VRK ortholog, functions in cell division and germline proliferation. However, the role of VRK-1 in post-mitotic cells and adult lifespan remain unknown. Here, we show that VRK-1 increases organismal longevity by activating the cellular energy sensor, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), via direct phosphorylation. We found that overexpression of vrk-1 in the soma of adult C. elegans increased lifespan, and conversely, inhibition of vrk-1 decreased lifespan. In addition, vrk-1 was required for longevity conferred by mutations that inhibit C. elegans mitochondrial respiration, which requires AMPK. Notably, VRK-1 directly phosphorylated and up-regulated AMPK in both C. elegans and cultured human cells. Thus, our data show that the somatic nuclear kinase, VRK-1, promotes longevity through AMPK activation, and this function appears to be conserved between C. elegans and humans.

Project description:The traditional view on dietary restriction has been challenged with regard to extending lifespan of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. This is because studies have shown that changing the balance of dietary components without reduction of dietary intake can increase lifespan, suggesting that nutrient composition other than dietary restriction play a pivotal role in regulation of longevity. However, this opinion has not been reflected in yeast aging studies. Inspired by this new finding, response surface methodology was applied to evaluate the relationships between nutrients (glucose, amino acids and yeast nitrogen base) and lifespan as well as biomass production in four Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains (wild-type BY4742, sch9Δ, tor1Δ, and sir2Δ mutants) using a high throughput screening assay. Our results indicate that lifespan extension by a typical dietary restriction regime was dependent on the nutrients in media and that nutrient composition was a key determinant for yeast longevity. Four different yeast strains were cultured in various media, which showed similar response surface trends in biomass production and viability at day two but greatly different trends in lifespan. The pH of aging media was dependent on glucose concentration and had no apparent correlation with lifespan under conditions where amino acids and YNB were varied widely, and simply buffering the pH of media could extend lifespan significantly. Furthermore, the results showed that strain sch9Δ was more responsive in nutrient-sensing than the other three strains, suggesting that Sch9 (serine-threonine kinase pathway) was a major nutrient-sensing factor that regulates cell growth, cell size, metabolism, stress resistance and longevity. Overall, our findings support the notion that nutrient composition might be a more effective way than simple dietary restriction to optimize lifespan and biomass production from yeast to other organisms.
