Wendegatz EC, Engelhardt M, Schüller HJ. Transcriptional activation domains interact with ATPase subunits of yeast chromatin remodelling complexes SWI/SNF, RSC and INO80. Curr Genet 2024; 70:15. [PMID: 39235627 PMCID: PMC11377671 DOI: 10.1007/s00294-024-01300-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2024] [Revised: 07/25/2024] [Accepted: 08/07/2024] [Indexed: 09/06/2024]
Abstract
Chromatin remodelling complexes (CRC) are ATP-dependent molecular machines important for the dynamic organization of nucleosomes along eukaryotic DNA. CRCs SWI/SNF, RSC and INO80 can move positioned nucleosomes in promoter DNA, leading to nucleosome-depleted regions which facilitate access of general transcription factors. This function is strongly supported by transcriptional activators being able to interact with subunits of various CRCs. In this work we show that SWI/SNF subunits Swi1, Swi2, Snf5 and Snf6 can bind to activation domains of Ino2 required for expression of phospholipid biosynthetic genes in yeast. We identify an activator binding domain (ABD) of ATPase Swi2 and show that this ABD is functionally dispensable, presumably because ABDs of other SWI/SNF subunits can compensate for the loss. In contrast, mutational characterization of the ABD of the Swi2-related ATPase Sth1 revealed that some conserved basic and hydrophobic amino acids within this domain are essential for the function of Sth1. While ABDs of Swi2 and Sth1 define separate functional protein domains, mapping of an ABD within ATPase Ino80 showed co-localization with its HSA domain also required for binding actin-related proteins. Comparative interaction studies finally demonstrated that several unrelated activators each exhibit a specific binding pattern with ABDs of Swi2, Sth1 and Ino80.

Wang Z, Su C, Zhang Y, Shangguan S, Wang R, Su J. Key enzymes involved in the utilization of fatty acids by Saccharomyces cerevisiae: a review. Front Microbiol 2024; 14:1294182. [PMID: 38274755 PMCID: PMC10808364 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1294182] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a eukaryotic organism with a clear genetic background and mature gene operating system; in addition, it exhibits environmental tolerance. Therefore, S. cerevisiae is one of the most commonly used organisms for the synthesis of biological chemicals. The investigation of fatty acid catabolism in S. cerevisiae is crucial for the synthesis and accumulation of fatty acids and their derivatives, with β-oxidation being the predominant pathway responsible for fatty acid metabolism in this organism, occurring primarily within peroxisomes. The latest research has revealed distinct variations in β-oxidation among different fatty acids, primarily attributed to substrate preferences and disparities in the metabolic regulation of key enzymes involved in the S. cerevisiae fatty acid metabolic pathway. The synthesis of lipids, on the other hand, represents another crucial metabolic pathway for fatty acids. The present paper provides a comprehensive review of recent research on the key factors influencing the efficiency of fatty acid utilization, encompassing β-oxidation and lipid synthesis pathways. Additionally, we discuss various approaches for modifying β-oxidation to enhance the synthesis of fatty acids and their derivatives in S. cerevisiae, aiming to offer theoretical support and serve as a valuable reference for future studies.
