Abstract
When stressed, cells need to adapt their proteome to maintain protein homeostasis. This requires increased proteasome assembly. Increased proteasome assembly is dependent on increased production of proteasome assembly chaperones. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, inhibition of the growth-promoting kinase complex TORC1 causes increased proteasome assembly chaperone translation, including that of Adc17. This is dependent upon activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) Mpk1 and relocalisation of assembly chaperone mRNA to patches of dense actin. We show here that TORC1 inhibition alters cell wall properties to induce these changes by activating the cell wall integrity pathway through the Wsc1, Wsc3 and Wsc4 sensor proteins. We demonstrate that, in isolation, these signals are insufficient to drive protein expression. We identify that the TORC1-activated S6 kinase Sch9 must be inhibited as well. This work expands our knowledge on the signalling pathways that regulate proteasome assembly chaperone production.

Abstract
Cell cycle progression relies on coordinated changes in the composition and subcellular localization of the proteome. By applying two distinct convolutional neural networks on images of millions of live yeast cells, we resolved proteome-level dynamics in both concentration and localization during the cell cycle, with resolution of ∼20 subcellular localization classes. We show that a quarter of the proteome displays cell cycle periodicity, with proteins tending to be controlled either at the level of localization or concentration, but not both. Distinct levels of protein regulation are preferentially utilized for different aspects of the cell cycle, with changes in protein concentration being mostly involved in cell cycle control and changes in protein localization in the biophysical implementation of the cell cycle program. We present a resource for exploring global proteome dynamics during the cell cycle, which will aid in understanding a fundamental biological process at a systems level.

The Yeast Protein Kinase Sch9 Functions as a Central Nutrient-Responsive Hub That Calibrates Metabolic and Stress-Related Responses. J Fungi (Basel) 2023; 9:787.

Abstract
Yeast cells are equipped with different nutrient signaling pathways that enable them to sense the availability of various nutrients and adjust metabolism and growth accordingly. These pathways are part of an intricate network since most of them are cross-regulated and subject to feedback regulation at different levels. In yeast, a central role is played by Sch9, a protein kinase that functions as a proximal effector of the conserved growth-regulatory TORC1 complex to mediate information on the availability of free amino acids. However, recent studies established that Sch9 is more than a TORC1-effector as its activity is tuned by several other kinases. This allows Sch9 to function as an integrator that aligns different input signals to achieve accuracy in metabolic responses and stress-related molecular adaptations. In this review, we highlight the latest findings on the structure and regulation of Sch9, as well as its role as a nutrient-responsive hub that impacts on growth and longevity of yeast cells. Given that most key players impinging on Sch9 are well-conserved, we also discuss how studies on Sch9 can be instrumental to further elucidate mechanisms underpinning healthy aging in mammalians.

Microbiol Spectr 2023; 11:e0524922. [PMID: 37042757 PMCID: PMC10269544 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.05249-22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 03/18/2023] [Indexed: 04/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways regulate essential processes in eukaryotes. However, since uncontrolled activation of these cascades has deleterious effects, precise negative regulation of signaling flow through them, mainly executed by protein phosphatases, is crucial. Previous studies showed that the absence of Ptc1 protein phosphatase results in the upregulation of the MAPK of the cell wall integrity (CWI) pathway, Slt2, and numerous functional defects in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, including a failure to undergo cell separation under heat stress. In this study, we demonstrate that multibudded ptc1Δ cells also exhibit impaired mitochondrial inheritance and that excessive Slt2 kinase activity is responsible for their growth deficiency and daughter-specific G1 cell cycle arrest, as well as other physiological alterations, namely, mitochondrial hyperpolarization and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation. We bring to light the fact that sustained Slt2 kinase activity inhibits signaling through the Sch9 branch of the TORC1 pathway in ptc1Δ cells, leading to increased autophagy. After cytokinesis, septin rings asymmetrically disassembled in ptc1Δ multibudded cells, abnormally remaining at the daughter cell side and eventually relocalizing at the daughter cell periphery, where they occasionally colocalized with the autophagic protein Atg9. Finally, we show that the inability of ptc1Δ cells to undergo cell separation is not due to a failure in the regulation of Ace2 and morphogenesis (RAM) pathway, since the transcription factor Ace2 correctly enters the daughter cell nuclei. However, the Ace2-regulated endochitinase Cts1 did not localize to the septum, preventing the proper degradation of this structure. IMPORTANCE This study provides further evidence that the cell cycle is regulated by complex signaling networks whose purpose is to guarantee a robust response to environmental threats. Using the S. cerevisiae eukaryotic model, we show that, under the stress conditions that activate the CWI MAPK pathway, the absence of the protein phosphatase Ptc1 renders Slt2 hyperactive, leading to numerous physiological alterations, including perturbed mitochondrial inheritance, oxidative stress, changes in septin dynamics, increased autophagy, TORC1-Sch9 inhibition, and ultimately cell cycle arrest and the failure of daughter cells to separate, likely due to the absence of key degradative enzymes at the septum. These results imply novel roles for the CWI pathway and unravel new cell cycle-regulatory controls that operate beyond the RAM pathway, arresting buds in G1 without compromising further division rounds in the mother cell.

Snf1/AMPK fine-tunes TORC1 signaling in response to glucose starvation. eLife 2023; 12:84319.

Abstract
The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and the target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) are central kinase modules of two opposing signaling pathways that control eukaryotic cell growth and metabolism in response to the availability of energy and nutrients. Accordingly, energy depletion activates AMPK to inhibit growth, while nutrients and high energy levels activate TORC1 to promote growth. Both in mammals and lower eukaryotes such as yeast, the AMPK and TORC1 pathways are wired to each other at different levels, which ensures homeostatic control of growth and metabolism. In this context, a previous study (Hughes Hallett et al., 2015) reported that AMPK in yeast, that is Snf1, prevents the transient TORC1 reactivation during the early phase following acute glucose starvation, but the underlying mechanism has remained elusive. Using a combination of unbiased mass spectrometry (MS)-based phosphoproteomics, genetic, biochemical, and physiological experiments, we show here that Snf1 temporally maintains TORC1 inactive in glucose-starved cells primarily through the TORC1-regulatory protein Pib2. Our data, therefore, extend the function of Pib2 to a hub that integrates both glucose and, as reported earlier, glutamine signals to control TORC1. We further demonstrate that Snf1 phosphorylates the TORC1 effector kinase Sch9 within its N-terminal region and thereby antagonizes the phosphorylation of a C-terminal TORC1-target residue within Sch9 itself that is critical for its activity. The consequences of Snf1-mediated phosphorylation of Pib2 and Sch9 are physiologically additive and sufficient to explain the role of Snf1 in short-term inhibition of TORC1 in acutely glucose-starved cells.

Transcriptomic Analysis Revealed the Differences in Lipid Accumulation between Spores and Mycelia of Mucor circinelloides WJ11 under Solid–State Fermentation. FERMENTATION 2022.

Abstract
The oleaginous fungus Mucor circinelloides has been studied for microbial oil production. Solid–state fermentation may be more suitable for lipid production than submerged fermentation due to its special filamentous structure and lower fermentation costs. M. circinelloides WJ11 under solid–state fermentation indicated that the total fatty acid content of mycelia was significantly higher than that of spores (15.0 and 10.4% in mycelia and spores after 192 h, respectively), while the biomass of the fungal mycelia was lower than that of the spores, reaching 78.2 and 86.9 mg/g, respectively. Transcriptomic studies showed that a total of 9069 genes were differentially expressed between spores and mycelia during solid–state fermentation, of which 4748 were up-regulated and 4321 were down-regulated. Among them, triglyceride-related synthases in M. circinelloides were significantly up-regulated in the mycelia. The mRNA expression level of ATP: citrate lyase was obviously increased to provide more acetyl-CoA for fatty acid synthesis in mycelia, moreover, the metabolism of leucine and isoleucine can also produce more acetyl-CoA for lipid accumulation in M. circinelloides. For NADPH supply, the expression of the pentose phosphate pathway was significantly up-regulated in mycelia, while NADP+-dependent malic enzyme was also increased by 9.5-fold under solid–state fermentation. Compared with gene expression in spores, the autophagy pathway was clearly up-regulated in mycelia to prove that autophagy was related to lipid accumulation in M. circinelloides.

Abstract
Leptographium qinlingensis is a fungal symbiont of the Chinese white pine beetle (Dendroctonus armandi) and a pathogen of the Chinese white pine (Pinus armandii) that must overcome the terpenoid oleoresin defenses of host trees to invade and colonize. L. qinlingensis responds to monoterpene flow with abundant mechanisms that include the decomposing and use of these compounds as a nitrogen source. Target of Rapamycin (TOR) is an evolutionarily conserved protein kinase that plays a central role in both plants and animals through integration of nutrients, energies, hormones, growth factors and environmental inputs to control proliferation, growth and metabolism in diverse multicellular organisms. In this study, in order to explore the relationship between TOR gene and carbon sources, nitrogen sources, host nutrients and host volatiles (monoterpenoids) in L. qinlingensis, we set up eight carbon source treatments, ten nitrogen source treatments, two host nutrients and six monoterpenoids (5%, 10% and 20%) treatments, and prepared different media conditions. By measuring the biomass and growth rate of mycelium, the results revealed that, on the whole, the response of L. qinlingensis to nitrogen sources was better than carbon sources, and the fungus grew well in maltose (carbon source), (NH4)2C2O4 (inorganic nitrogen source), asparagine (organic nitrogen source) and P. armandii (host nutrient) versus other treatments. Then, by analyzing the relationship between TOR expression and different nutrients, the data showed that: (i) TOR expression exhibited negative regulation in response to carbon sources and host nutrition. (ii) The treatments of nitrogen sources and terpenoids had positively regulatory effects on TOR gene; moreover, the fungus was most sensitive to β-pinene and 3-carene. In conclusion, our findings reveal that TOR in L. qinlingensis plays a key role in the utilization of host volatiles as nutrient intake, overcoming the physical and chemical host resistances and successful colonization.
