Abstract
BACKGROUND SUP35 and SUP45 are essential genes encoding polypeptide chain release factors. However, mutants for these genes may be viable but display pleiotropic phenotypes which include, but are not limited to, nonsense suppressor phenotype due to translation termination defect. [PSI +] prion formation is another Sup35p-associated mechanism leading to nonsense suppression through decreased availability of functional Sup35p. [PSI +] differs from genuine sup35 mutations by the possibility of its elimination and subsequent re-induction. Some suppressor sup35 mutants had also been shown to undergo a reversible phenotypic switch in the opposite direction. This reversible switching had been attributed to a prion termed [ISP +]. However, even though many phenotypic and molecular level features of [ISP +] were revealed, the mechanism behind this phenomenon has not been clearly explained and might be more complex than suggested initially. RESULTS Here we took a genomic approach to look into the molecular basis of the difference between the suppressor (Isp-) and non-suppressor (Isp+) phenotypes. We report that the reason for the difference between the Isp+ and the Isp- phenotypes is chromosome II copy number changes and support our finding with showing that these changes are indeed reversible by reproducing the phenotypic switch and tracking karyotypic changes. Finally, we suggest mechanisms that mediate elevation in nonsense suppression efficiency upon amplification of chromosome II and facilitate switching between these states. CONCLUSIONS (i) In our experimental system, amplification of chromosome II confers nonsense suppressor phenotype and guanidine hydrochloride resistance at the cost of overall decreased viability in rich medium. (ii) SFP1 might represent a novel regulator of chromosome stability, as SFP1 overexpression elevates frequency of the additional chromosome loss in our system. (iii) Prolonged treatment with guanidine hydrochloride leads to selection of resistant isolates, some of which are disomic for chromosome II.

Abstract
The Peterhof genetic collection of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains (PGC) is a large laboratory stock that has accumulated several thousands of strains for over than half a century. It originated independently of other common laboratory stocks from a distillery lineage (race XII). Several PGC strains have been extensively used in certain fields of yeast research but their genomes have not been thoroughly explored yet. Here we employed whole genome sequencing to characterize five selected PGC strains including one of the closest to the progenitor, 15V-P4, and several strains that have been used to study translation termination and prions in yeast (25-25-2V-P3982, 1B-D1606, 74-D694, and 6P-33G-D373). The genetic distance between the PGC progenitor and S288C is comparable to that between two geographically isolated populations. The PGC seems to be closer to two bakery strains than to S288C-related laboratory stocks or European wine strains. In genomes of the PGC strains, we found several loci which are absent from the S288C genome; 15V-P4 harbors a rare combination of the gene cluster characteristic for wine strains and the RTM1 cluster. We closely examined known and previously uncharacterized gene variants of particular strains and were able to establish the molecular basis for known phenotypes including phenylalanine auxotrophy, clumping behavior and galactose utilization. Finally, we made sequencing data and results of the analysis available for the yeast community. Our data widen the knowledge about genetic variation between Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains and can form the basis for planning future work in PGC-related strains and with PGC-derived alleles.

Abstract
Nonsense suppression is a readthrough of premature termination codons. It typically occurs either due to the recognition of stop codons by tRNAs with mutant anticodons, or due to a decrease in the fidelity of translation termination. In the latter case, suppressors usually promote the readthrough of different types of nonsense codons and are thus called omnipotent nonsense suppressors. Omnipotent nonsense suppressors were identified in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae in 1960s, and most of subsequent studies were performed in this model organism. Initially, omnipotent suppressors were localized by genetic analysis to different protein- and RNA-encoding genes, mostly the components of translational machinery. Later, nonsense suppression was found to be caused not only by genomic mutations, but also by epigenetic elements, prions. Prions are self-perpetuating protein conformations usually manifested by infectious protein aggregates. Modulation of translational accuracy by prions reflects changes in the activity of their structural proteins involved in different aspects of protein synthesis. Overall, nonsense suppression can be seen as a "phenotypic mirror" of events affecting the accuracy of the translational machine. However, the range of proteins participating in the modulation of translation termination fidelity is not fully elucidated. Recently, the list has been expanded significantly by findings that revealed a number of weak genetic and epigenetic nonsense suppressors, the effect of which can be detected only in specific genetic backgrounds. This review summarizes the data on the nonsense suppressors decreasing the fidelity of translation termination in S. cerevisiae, and discusses the functional significance of the modulation of translational accuracy.

Transcriptional response to the [ISP(+) ] prion of Saccharomyces cerevisiae differs from that induced by the deletion of its structural gene, SFP1. FEMS Yeast Res 2014; 14:1160-70.

Abstract
Currently, several protein-based genetic determinants, or prions, are described in yeast, and several hundred prion candidates have been predicted. Importantly, many known and potential prion proteins regulate transcription; therefore, prion induction should affect gene expression. While it is generally believed that the prion phenotype should mimic the deletion phenotype, this rule has exceptions. Formed by the transcription factor Sfp1p, [ISP(+) ] is one such exception as the [ISP(+) ] and sfp1Δ strains differ in many phenotypic traits. These data suggest that effects of prion formation by a transcription factor and its absence may affect gene expression in a different way. However, studies addressing this issue are practically absent. Here, we explore how [ISP(+) ] affects gene expression and how these changes correspond to the effect of SFP1 deletion. Our data indicate that the [ISP(+) ]-related expression changes cannot be explained by the inactivation of Sfp1p. Remarkably, most Sfp1p targets are not affected in the [ISP(+) ] strain; instead, the genes upregulated in the [ISP(+) ] strain are enriched in Gcn4p and Aft1p targets. We propose that Sfp1p serves as a part of a regulatory complex, and the activity of this complex may be modulated differently by the absence or prionization of Sfp1p.

Abstract
The concept of a prion as an infectious self-propagating protein isoform was initially proposed to explain certain mammalian diseases. It is now clear that yeast also has heritable elements transmitted via protein. Indeed, the "protein only" model of prion transmission was first proven using a yeast prion. Typically, known prions are ordered cross-β aggregates (amyloids). Recently, there has been an explosion in the number of recognized prions in yeast. Yeast continues to lead the way in understanding cellular control of prion propagation, prion structure, mechanisms of de novo prion formation, specificity of prion transmission, and the biological roles of prions. This review summarizes what has been learned from yeast prions.

Abstract
Four protein-based genetic determinants or prions-[SWI(+)], [MCA], [OCT(+)], and [MOT3(+)]-are recent additions to the list of well-known Saccharomyces cerevisiae prions, [PSI(+)], [URE3], and [PIN(+)]. A rapid expansion of this list may indicate that many yeast proteins can convert into heritable prion forms and underscores a problem of prion input into cellular physiology. Here, we prove that the global transcriptional regulator Sfp1 can become a prion corresponding to the prion-like determinant [ISP(+)] described earlier. We show that SFP1 deletion causes an irreversible [ISP(+)] loss, whereas increased SFP1 expression induces [ISP(+)] appearance. Cells that display the [ISP(+)] phenotype contain the aggregated form of Sfp1. Indeed, these aggregates demonstrate a nuclear location. We also show that the phenotypic manifestation of Sfp1 prionization differs from the manifestation of SFP1 deletion. These properties and others distinguish [ISP(+)] from yeast prions described to date.

Abstract
The efficiency of stop codons read-through in yeast is controlled by multiple interactions of genetic and epigenetic factors. In this study, we demonstrate the participation of the Hal3-Ppz1 protein complex in regulation of read-through efficiency and manifestation of non-Mendelian anti-suppressor determinant [ISP(+)]. Over-expression of HAL3 in [ISP(+)] strain causes nonsense suppression, whereas its inactivation displays as anti-suppression of sup35 mutation in [isp(-)] strain. [ISP(+)] strains carrying hal3Delta deletion cannot be cured from [ISP(+)] in the presence of GuHCl. Since Hal3p is a negative regulatory subunit of Ppz1 protein phosphatase, consequences of PPZ1 over-expression and deletion are opposite to those of HAL3. The observed effects are mediated by the catalytic function of Ppz1 and are probably related to the participation of Ppz1 in regulation of eEF1Balpha elongation factor activity. Importantly, [ISP(+)] status of yeast strains is determined by fluctuation in Hal3p level, since [ISP(+)] strains have less Hal3p than their [isp(-)] derivatives obtained by GuHCl treatment. A model considering epigenetic (possibly prion) regulation of Hal3p amount as a mechanism underlying [ISP(+)] status of yeast cell is suggested.
