Abstract
Fungal response to any stress is intricate, specific, and multilayered, though it employs only a few evolutionarily conserved regulators. This comes with the assumption that one regulator operates more than one stress-specific response. Although the assumption holds true, the current understanding of molecular mechanisms that drive response specificity and adequacy remains rudimentary. Deciphering the response of fungi to oxidative stress may help fill those knowledge gaps since it is one of the most encountered stress types in any kind of fungal niche. Data have been accumulating on the roles of the HOG pathway and Yap1- and Skn7-related pathways in mounting distinct and robust responses in fungi upon exposure to oxidative stress. Herein, we review recent and most relevant studies reporting the contribution of each of these pathways in response to oxidative stress in pathogenic and opportunistic fungi after giving a paralleled overview in two divergent models, the budding and fission yeasts. With the concept of stress-specific response and the importance of reactive oxygen species in fungal development, we first present a preface on the expanding domain of redox biology and oxidative stress.

Deciphering the in vivo redox behavior of human peroxiredoxins I and II by expressing in budding yeast. Free Radic Biol Med 2019; 145:321-329. [PMID: 31580947 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2019.09.034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2018] [Revised: 01/18/2019] [Accepted: 09/27/2019] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
Peroxiredoxins (Prxs), scavenge cellular peroxides by forming recyclable disulfides but under high oxidative stress, hyperoxidation of their active-site Cys residue results in loss of their peroxidase activity. Saccharomyces cerevisiae deficient in human Prx (hPrx) orthologue TSA1 show growth defects under oxidative stress. They can be complemented with hPRXI but not by hPRXII, but it is not clear how the disulfide and hyperoxidation states of the hPrx vary in yeast under oxidative stress. To understand this, we used oxidative-stress sensitive tsa1tsa2Δ yeast strain to express hPRXI or hPRXII. We found that hPrxI in yeast exists as a mixture of disulfide-linked dimer and reduced monomer but becomes hyperoxidized upon elevated oxidative stress as analyzed under denaturing conditions (SDS-PAGE). In contrast, hPrxII was present predominantly as the disulfide in unstressed cells and readily converted to its hyperoxidized, peroxidase-inactive form even with mild oxidative stress. Interestingly, we found that plant extracts containing polyphenol antioxidants provided further protection against the growth defects of the tsa1tsa2Δ strain expressing hPrx and preserved the peroxidase-active forms of the Prxs. The extracts also helped to protect against hyperoxidation of hPrxs in HeLa cells. Based on these findings we can conclude that resistance to oxidative stress of yeast cells expressing individual hPrxs requires the hPrx to be maintained in a redox state that permits redox cycling and peroxidase activity. Peroxidase activity decreases as the hPrx becomes hyperoxidized and the limited protection by hPrxII compared with hPrxI can be explained by its greater sensitivity to hyperoxidation.

Determination of antioxidant potential of Acacia nilotica leaf extract in oxidative stress response system of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2017; 97:5247-5253. [PMID: 28474422 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.8409] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2017] [Revised: 04/27/2017] [Accepted: 05/02/2017] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND From ancient times, plants and plant-derived products have been used as folkloric medicines for a variety of health disorders owing to their tremendous therapeutic potential. The present study aimed to determine the antioxidant efficacy of crude Acacia nilotica extract in the oxidative stress response system of Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model organism. RESULTS Acacia nilotica showed significant antioxidant activity, with IC50 values of 75.157 and 159.57 µg mL-1 for 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities respectively at a concentration of 500 µg mL-1 . The total antioxidant activity of A. nilotica showed an ascorbic acid equivalent of 152.79 ± 7.43 µg mL-1 . The presence of phytoconstituents such as phytol and α-tocopherol from gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis confirmed the potential of A. nilotica as an antioxidant. The results were validated using the stress response mechanism in S. cerevisiae wild type and its isogenic deletion strains sod1Δ and tsa1Δ. Acacia nilotica substantially neutralized reactive oxygen species generated by hydrogen peroxide in mutant strains, as evident from spot assay and fluorescence assay using fluorescence microscopy and intensity studies. CONCLUSION The results suggested the efficacy of A. nilotica as a potent antioxidant in the S. cerevisiae system for the first time and its use in neutraceuticals/therapeutics. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
In brown macroalgae, alginate and D-mannitol are promising carbohydrates for biorefinery. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is widely used as a microbial cell factory, but this budding yeast is unable to utilize either alginate or D-mannitol. Alginate can be depolymerized by both endo-type and exo-type alginate lyases, yielding a monouronate, 4-deoxy-L-erythro-5-hexoseulose uronate (DEH), a key intermediate in the metabolism of alginate. Here, we constructed engineered two S. cerevisiae strains that are able to utilize both DEH and D-mannitol on two different strain backgrounds, and we also improved their aerobic growth in a DEH liquid medium through adaptive evolution. In both evolved strains, one of the causal mutations was surprisingly identical, a c.50A > G mutation in the codon-optimized NAD(P)H-dependent DEH reductase gene, one of the 4 genes introduced to confer the capacity to utilize DEH. This mutation resulted in an E17G substitution at a loop structure near the coenzyme-binding site of this reductase, and enhanced the reductase activity and aerobic growth in both evolved strains. Thus, the crucial role for this reductase reaction in the metabolism of DEH in the engineered S. cerevisiae is demonstrated, and this finding provides significant information for synthetic construction of a S. cerevisiae strain as a platform for alginate utilization.

Abstract
The response of bacteria, yeast, and mammalian and insects cells to oxidative stress is a topic that has been studied for many years. However, in most the reported studies, the oxidative stress was caused by challenging the organisms with H2O2 and redox-cycling drugs, but not by subjecting the cells to high concentrations of molecular oxygen. In this review we summarize available information about the effect of elevated oxygen concentrations on the physiology of microorganisms and cells at various culture conditions. In general, increased oxygen concentrations promote higher leakage of reactive oxygen species (superoxide and H2O2) from the respiratory chain affecting metalloenzymes and DNA that in turn cause impaired growth and elevated mutagenesis. To prevent the potential damage, the microorganisms and cells respond by activating antioxidant defenses and repair systems. This review described the factors that affect growth properties and metabolism at elevated oxygen concentrations that cells may be exposed to, in bioreactor sparged with oxygen enriched air which could affect the yield and quality of the recombinant proteins produced by high cell density schemes.
