Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a Tool for Studying Mutations in Nuclear Genes Involved in Diseases Caused by Mitochondrial DNA Instability. Genes (Basel) 2021; 12:genes12121866.

Abstract
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) maintenance is critical for oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) since some subunits of the respiratory chain complexes are mitochondrially encoded. Pathological mutations in nuclear genes involved in the mtDNA metabolism may result in a quantitative decrease in mtDNA levels, referred to as mtDNA depletion, or in qualitative defects in mtDNA, especially in multiple deletions. Since, in the last decade, most of the novel mutations have been identified through whole-exome sequencing, it is crucial to confirm the pathogenicity by functional analysis in the appropriate model systems. Among these, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has proved to be a good model for studying mutations associated with mtDNA instability. This review focuses on the use of yeast for evaluating the pathogenicity of mutations in six genes, MPV17/SYM1, MRM2/MRM2, OPA1/MGM1, POLG/MIP1, RRM2B/RNR2, and SLC25A4/AAC2, all associated with mtDNA depletion or multiple deletions. We highlight the techniques used to construct a specific model and to measure the mtDNA instability as well as the main results obtained. We then report the contribution that yeast has given in understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of the mutant variants, in finding the genetic suppressors of the mitochondrial defects and in the discovery of molecules able to improve the mtDNA stability.

Clb6-Cdc28 Promotes Ribonucleotide Reductase Subcellular Redistribution during S Phase. Mol Cell Biol 2018; 38:MCB.00497-17.

Abstract
A tightly controlled cellular deoxyribonucleotide (deoxynucleoside triphosphate [dNTP]) pool is critical for maintenance of genome integrity. One mode of dNTP pool regulation is through subcellular localization of ribonucleotide reductase (RNR), the enzyme that catalyzes the rate-limiting step of dNTP biosynthesis. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the RNR small subunit, Rnr2-Rnr4, is localized to the nucleus, whereas the large subunit, Rnr1, is cytoplasmic. As cells enter S phase or encounter DNA damage, Rnr2-Rnr4 relocalizes to the cytoplasm to form an active holoenzyme complex with Rnr1. Although the DNA damage-induced relocalization requires the checkpoint kinases Mec1-Rad53-Dun1, the S-phase-specific redistribution does not. Here, we report that the S-phase cyclin-cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) complex Clb6-Cdc28 controls Rnr2-Rnr4 relocalization in S phase. Rnr2 contains a consensus CDK site and exhibits Clb6-dependent phosphorylation in S phase. Deletion of CLB6 or removal of the CDK site results in an increased association of Rnr2 with its nuclear anchor Wtm1, nuclear retention of Rnr2-Rnr4, and an enhanced sensitivity to the RNR inhibitor hydroxyurea. Thus, we propose that Rnr2-Rnr4 redistribution in S phase is triggered by Clb6-Cdc28-mediated phosphorylation of Rnr2, which disrupts the Rnr2-Wtm1 interaction and promotes the release of Rnr2-Rnr4 from the nucleus.

Abstract
How each metalloprotein assembles the correct metal at the proper binding site presents challenges to the cell. The di-iron enzyme ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) uses a diferric-tyrosyl radical (FeIII2-Y•) cofactor to initiate nucleotide reduction. Assembly of this cofactor requires O2, FeII, and a reducing equivalent. Recent studies show that RNR cofactor biosynthesis shares the same source of iron, in the form of [2Fe-2S]-GSH2 from the monothiol glutaredoxin Grx3/4, and the same electron source, in the form of the Dre2-Tah18 electron transfer chain, with the cytosolic iron-sulfur protein assembly (CIA) machinery required for maturation of [4Fe-4S] clusters in cytosolic and nuclear proteins. Here, we further investigated the interplay between the formation of the FeIII2-Y• cofactor in RNR and the cellular iron-sulfur (Fe-S) protein biogenesis pathways by examining both the iron loading into the RNR β subunit and the RNR catalytic activity in yeast mutants depleted of individual components of the mitochondrial iron-sulfur cluster assembly (ISC) and the CIA machineries. We found that both iron loading and cofactor assembly in RNR are dependent on the ISC machinery. We also found that Dre2 is required for RNR cofactor formation but appears to be dispensable for iron loading. None of the CIA components downstream of Dre2 was required for RNR cofactor formation. Thus, the pathways for RNR and Fe-S cluster biogenesis bifurcate after the Dre2-Tah18 step. We conclude that RNR cofactor biogenesis requires the ISC machinery to mature the Grx3/4 and Dre2 Fe-S proteins, which then function in iron and electron delivery to RNR, respectively.

Abstract
Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) is an essential iron-dependent enzyme that catalyzes deoxyribonucleotide synthesis in eukaryotes. Living organisms have developed multiple strategies to tightly modulate RNR function to avoid inadequate or unbalanced deoxyribonucleotide pools that cause DNA damage and genome instability. Yeast cells activate RNR in response to genotoxic stress and iron deficiency by facilitating redistribution of its small heterodimeric subunit Rnr2-Rnr4 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where it forms an active holoenzyme with large Rnr1 subunit. Dif1 protein inhibits RNR by promoting nuclear import of Rnr2-Rnr4. Upon DNA damage, Dif1 phosphorylation by the Dun1 checkpoint kinase and its subsequent degradation enhances RNR function. In this report, we demonstrate that Dun1 kinase triggers Rnr2-Rnr4 redistribution to the cytoplasm in response to iron deficiency. We show that Rnr2-Rnr4 relocalization by low iron requires Dun1 kinase activity and phosphorylation site Thr-380 in the Dun1 activation loop, but not the Dun1 forkhead-associated domain. By using different Dif1 mutant proteins, we uncover that Dun1 phosphorylates Dif1 Ser-104 and Thr-105 residues upon iron scarcity. We observe that the Dif1 phosphorylation pattern differs depending on the stimuli, which suggests different Dun1 activating pathways. Importantly, the Dif1-S104A/T105A mutant exhibits defects in nucleus-to-cytoplasm redistribution of Rnr2-Rnr4 by iron limitation. Taken together, these results reveal that, in response to iron starvation, Dun1 kinase phosphorylates Dif1 to stimulate Rnr2-Rnr4 relocalization to the cytoplasm and promote RNR function.

Abstract
We have identified a new downstream target gene of the Aft1/2‐regulated iron regulon in budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the late‐annotated small open reading frame LSO1. LSO1 transcript is among the most highly induced from a transcriptome analysis of a fet3‐1 mutant grown in the presence of the iron chelator bathophenanthrolinedisulfonic acid. LSO1 has a paralog, LSO2, which is constitutively expressed and not affected by iron availability. In contrast, we find that the LSO1 promoter region contains three consensus binding sites for the Aft1/2 transcription factors and that an LSO1‐lacZ reporter is highly induced under low‐iron conditions in a Aft1‐dependent manner. The expression patterns of the Lso1 and Lso2 proteins mirror those of their mRNAs. Both proteins are localized to the nucleus and cytoplasm, but become more cytoplasmic upon iron deprivation consistent with a role in iron transport. LSO1 and LSO2 appear to play overlapping roles in the cellular response to iron starvation since single lso1 and lso2 mutants are sensitive to iron deprivation and this sensitivity is exacerbated when both genes are deleted.

Abstract
The phosphorylation status of cellular proteins results from an equilibrium between the activities of protein kinases and protein phosphatases (PPases). Reversible protein phosphorylation is an important aspect of signal transduction that regulate many biological processes in eukaryotic cells. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome encodes 40 PPases, including seven members of the protein phosphatase 2C subfamily (PTC1 to PTC7). In contrast to other PPases, the cellular roles of PTCs have not been investigated in detail. Here, we sought to determine the cellular role of PTC6 in S. cerevisiae with disruption of PTC genes. We found that cells with Δptc6 disruption were tolerant to the cell wall-damaging agents Congo red (CR) and calcofluor white (CFW); however, cells with simultaneous disruption of PTC1 and PTC6 were very sensitive to these agents. Thus, simultaneous disruption of PTC1 and PTC6 gave a synergistic response to cell wall damaging agents. The level of phosphorylated Slt2 increased significantly after CR treatment in Δptc1 cells and more so in Δptc1Δptc6 cells; therefore, deletion of PTC6 enhanced Slt2 phosphorylation in the Δptc1 disruptant. The level of transcription of KDX1 upon exposure to CR increased to a greater extent in the Δptc1Δptc6 double disruptant than the Δptc1 single disruptant. The Δptc1Δptc6 double disruptant cells showed normal vacuole formation under standard growth conditions, but fragmented vacuoles were present in the presence of CR or CFW. Our analyses indicate that S. cerevisiae PTC6 participates in the negative regulation of Slt2 phosphorylation and vacuole morphogenesis under cell wall stress conditions.

Abstract
Eukaryotic ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs) require a diferric-tyrosyl radical (Fe(III)2-Y•) cofactor to produce deoxynucleotides essential for DNA replication and repair. This metallocofactor is an important target of RNR-based therapeutics, although mechanisms of in vivo cofactor assembly, inactivation, and reactivation are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that the conserved Fe-S protein-diflavin reductase complex, Dre2-Tah18, plays a critical role in RNR cofactor biosynthesis. Depletion of Dre2 affects both RNR gene transcription and mRNA turnover through the activation of the DNA-damage checkpoint and the Aft1/Aft2-controlled iron regulon. Under conditions of comparable RNR protein levels, cells with diminishing Dre2 have significantly reduced ability to make deoxynucleotides. Furthermore, the kinetics and levels of in vivo reconstitution of the RNR cofactor are severely impaired in two conditional tah18 mutants. Together, these findings provide insight into RNR cofactor formation and reveal a shared mechanism underlying assembly of the Fe(III)2-Y• cofactor in RNR and the Fe-S clusters in cytosolic and nuclear proteins.

Abstract
The small subunit (β2) of class Ia ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) houses a diferric tyrosyl cofactor (Fe2(III)-Y(•)) that initiates nucleotide reduction in the large subunit (α2) via a long range radical transfer (RT) pathway in the holo-(α2)m(β2)n complex. The C-terminal tails of β2 are predominantly responsible for interaction with α2, with a conserved tyrosine residue in the tail (Tyr(356) in Escherichia coli NrdB) proposed to participate in cofactor assembly/maintenance and in RT. In the absence of structure of any holo-RNR, the role of the β tail in cluster assembly/maintenance and its predisposition within the holo-complex have remained unknown. In this study, we have taken advantage of the unusual heterodimeric nature of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae RNR small subunit (ββ'), of which only β contains a cofactor, to address both of these issues. We demonstrate that neither β-Tyr(376) nor β'-Tyr(323) (Tyr(356) equivalent in NrdB) is required for cofactor assembly in vivo, in contrast to the previously proposed mechanism for E. coli cofactor maintenance and assembly in vitro. Furthermore, studies with reconstituted-ββ' and an in vivo viability assay show that β-Tyr(376) is essential for RT, whereas Tyr(323) in β' is not. Although the C-terminal tail of β' is dispensable for cofactor formation and RT, it is essential for interactions with β and α to form the active holo-RNR. Together the results provide the first evidence of a directed orientation of the β and β' C-terminal tails relative to α within the holoenzyme consistent with a docking model of the two subunits and argue against RT across the β β' interface.

Abstract
The ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) enzyme catalyzes an essential step in the production of deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs) in cells. Bulk biochemical measurements in synchronized Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells suggest that RNR mRNA production is maximal in late G(1) and S phases; however, damaged DNA induces RNR transcription throughout the cell cycle. But such en masse measurements reveal neither cell-to-cell heterogeneity in responses nor direct correlations between transcript and protein expression or localization in single cells which may be central to function. We overcame these limitations by simultaneous detection of single RNR transcripts and also Rnr proteins in the same individual asynchronous S. cerevisiae cells, with and without DNA damage by methyl methanesulfonate (MMS). Surprisingly, RNR subunit mRNA levels were comparably low in both damaged and undamaged G(1) cells and highly induced in damaged S/G(2) cells. Transcript numbers became correlated with both protein levels and localization only upon DNA damage in a cell cycle-dependent manner. Further, we showed that the differential RNR response to DNA damage correlated with variable Mec1 kinase activity in the cell cycle in single cells. The transcription of RNR genes was found to be noisy and non-Poissonian in nature. Our results provide vital insight into cell cycle-dependent RNR regulation under conditions of genotoxic stress.

Abstract
Ribonucleotide reductases (RRs) catalyze the rate-limiting step of de novo deoxynucleotide (dNTP) synthesis. Eukaryotic RRs consist of two proteins, RR1 (α) that contains the catalytic site and RR2 (β) that houses a diferric-tyrosyl radical essential for ribonucleoside diphosphate reduction. Biochemical analysis has been combined with isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), X-ray crystallography and yeast genetics to elucidate the roles of two loop 2 mutations R293A and Q288A in Saccharomyces cerevisiae RR1 (ScRR1). These mutations, R293A and Q288A, cause lethality and severe S phase defects, respectively, in cells that use ScRR1 as the sole source of RR1 activity. Compared to the wild-type enzyme activity, R293A and Q288A mutants show 4% and 15%, respectively, for ADP reduction, whereas they are 20% and 23%, respectively, for CDP reduction. ITC data showed that R293A ScRR1 is unable to bind ADP and binds CDP with 2-fold lower affinity compared to wild-type ScRR1. With the Q288A ScRR1 mutant, there is a 6-fold loss of affinity for ADP binding and a 2-fold loss of affinity for CDP compared to the wild type. X-ray structures of R293A ScRR1 complexed with dGTP and AMPPNP-CDP [AMPPNP, adenosine 5-(β,γ-imido)triphosphate tetralithium salt] reveal that ADP is not bound at the catalytic site, and CDP binds farther from the catalytic site compared to wild type. Our in vivo functional analyses demonstrated that R293A cannot support mitotic growth, whereas Q288A can, albeit with a severe S phase defect. Taken together, our structure, activity, ITC and in vivo data reveal that the arginine 293 and glutamine 288 residues of ScRR1 are crucial in facilitating ADP and CDP substrate selection.

Abstract
The β(2) subunit of class Ia ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) contains a diferric tyrosyl radical cofactor (Fe(2)(III)-Tyr(•)) that is essential for nucleotide reduction. The β(2) subunit of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a heterodimer of Rnr2 (β) and Rnr4 (β'). Although only β is capable of iron binding and Tyr(•) formation, cells lacking β' are either dead or exhibit extremely low Tyr(•) levels and RNR activity depending on genetic backgrounds. Here, we present evidence supporting the model that β' is required for iron loading and Tyr(•) formation in β in vivo via a pathway that is likely dependent on the cytosolic monothiol glutaredoxins Grx3/Grx4 and the Fe-S cluster protein Dre2. rnr4 mutants are defective in iron loading into nascent β and are hypersensitive to iron depletion and the Tyr(•)-reducing agent hydroxyurea. Transient induction of β' in a GalRNR4 strain leads to a concomitant increase in iron loading and Tyr(•) levels in β. Tyr(•) can also be rapidly generated using endogenous iron when permeabilized Δrnr4 spheroplasts are supplemented with recombinant β' and is inhibited by adding an iron chelator prior to, but not after, β' supplementation. The growth defects of rnr4 mutants are enhanced by deficiencies in grx3/grx4 and dre2. Moreover, depletion of Dre2 in GalDRE2 cells leads to a decrease in both Tyr(•) levels and ββ' activity. This result, in combination with previous findings that a low level of Grx3/4 impairs RNR function, strongly suggests that Grx3/4 and Dre2 serve in the assembly of the deferric Tyr(•) cofactor in RNR.

Abstract
The simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process requires thermo-tolerant yeast to facilitate the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose. In this paper, we describe a Htg+ strain that exhibits confluent growth at high temperature (41 °C) and resistance to heat shock, ethanol, osmotic, oxidative and DNA damage stresses. HTG6, one of the six genes responsible for the thermotolerant phenotype was identified to be the gene RSP5 encoding a ubiquitin ligase. The RSP5 allele of the Htg+ strain, designated RSP5-C, possessed five, one and two base changes in the promoter, open reading frame and terminator region, respectively. The base changes in the promoter region of the RSP5-C allele were found to be responsible for the thermotolerant phenotype by strongly increasing transcription of the RSP5 gene and consequently causing a rise in the ubiquitination of cell proteins. Overexpression of the RSP5-BY allele present in the htg6 host strain (Htg-) conferred thermotolerance at 41°C, to this strain as in the case of RSP5-C allele. We also discovered that an Htg+ strain overexpressing the RSP5-C allele exhibits a more robust Htg+ phenotype against higher temperature (43 °C). The data presented here also suggest that overexpression of RSP5 could be applied to raise the upper limit of thermotolerance in S. cerevisiae strain used for industrial bioethanol production.

Abstract
Regulation of ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) is important for cell survival and genome integrity in the face of genotoxic stress. The Mec1/Rad53/Dun1 DNA damage response kinase cascade exhibits multifaceted controls over RNR activity including the regulation of the RNR inhibitor, Sml1. After DNA damage, Sml1 is degraded leading to the up-regulation of dNTP pools by RNR. Here, we probe the requirements for Sml1 degradation and identify several sites required for in vivo phosphorylation and degradation of Sml1 in response to DNA damage. Further, in a strain containing a mutation in Rnr1, rnr1-W688G, mutation of these sites in Sml1 causes lethality. Degradation of Sml1 is dependent on the 26S proteasome. We also show that degradation of phosphorylated Sml1 is dependent on the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, Rad6, the E3 ubiquitin ligase, Ubr2, and the E2/E3-interacting protein, Mub1, which form a complex previously only implicated in the ubiquitylation of Rpn4.

Yeast protein phosphatases Ptp2p and Msg5p are involved in G1-S transition, CLN2 transcription, and vacuole morphogenesis. Arch Microbiol 2009; 191:721-33.

Abstract
We previously reported that double disruption of protein phosphatase (PPase) genes PTP2 (phosphotyrosine-specific PPase) and MSG5 (phosphotyrosine and phosphothreonine/serine-PPase) causes Ca(2+) sensitive growth, whereas the single disruptions do not. This finding suggests that Ptp2p and Msg5p are involved in Ca(2+)-induced stress response in a redundant manner. To gain insight into the molecular mechanism causing calcium sensitivity of the ptp2 msg5 double disruptant, we performed fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis and found a delayed G1 phase. This delayed G1 was consistent with the defect in bud emergence, and reduced CLN2 transcription upon addition of CaCl(2). We also found that Slt2p is hyper-phosphorylated in the Deltaptp2 Deltamsg5 double disruptant and that the vacuole of the Deltaptp2 Deltamsg5 double disruptant is fragmented even in the absence of Ca(2+). These findings suggest that both Ptp2p and Msg5p are involved in the G1 to S transition and vacuole morphogenesis possibly through their regulation of Slt2 pathway.

Abstract
Fidelity in DNA replication and repair requires adequate and balanced deoxyribonucleotide pools that are maintained primarily by regulation of ribonucleotide reductase (RNR). RNR is controlled via transcription, protein inhibitor association, and subcellular localization of its two subunits, R1 and R2. Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sml1 binds R1 and inhibits its activity, while Schizosaccharomyces pombe Spd1 impedes RNR holoenzyme formation by sequestering R2 in the nucleus away from the cytoplasmic R1. Here we report the identification and characterization of S. cerevisiae Dif1, a regulator of R2 nuclear localization and member of a new family of proteins sharing separate homologous domains with Spd1 and Sml1. Dif1 is localized in the cytoplasm and acts in a pathway different from the nuclear R2-anchoring protein Wtm1. Like Sml1 and Spd1, Dif1 is phosphorylated and degraded in cells encountering DNA damage, thereby relieving inhibition of RNR. A shared domain between Sml1 and Dif1 controls checkpoint kinase-mediated phosphorylation and degradation of the two proteins. Abolishing Dif1 phosphorylation stabilizes the protein and delays damage-induced nucleus-to-cytoplasm redistribution of R2. This study suggests that Dif1 is required for nuclear import of the R2 subunit and plays an essential role in regulating the dynamic RNR subcellular localization.

Abstract
Ubiquitination is one of the most prevalent protein post-translational modifications in eukaryotes, and its malfunction is associated with a variety of human diseases. Despite the significance of this process, the molecular mechanisms that govern the regulation of ubiquitination remain largely unknown. Here we used a combination of yeast proteome chip assays, genetic screening, and in vitro/in vivo biochemical analyses to identify and characterize eight novel in vivo substrates of the ubiquitinating enzyme Rsp5, a homolog of the human ubiquitin-ligating enzyme Nedd4, in yeast. Our analysis of the effects of a deubiquitinating enzyme, Ubp2, demonstrated that an accumulation of Lys-63-linked polyubiquitin chains results in processed forms of two substrates, Sla1 and Ygr068c. Finally we showed that the localization of another newly identified substrate, Rnr2, is Rsp5-dependent. We believe that our approach constitutes a paradigm for the functional dissection of an enzyme with pleiotropic effects.

Abstract
Studies of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) from poliovirus (PV), 3Dpol, have shown that Asn-297 permits this enzyme to distinguish ribose from 2'-deoxyribose. All animal RNA viruses have Asn at the structurally homologous position of their polymerases, suggesting a conserved function for this residue. However, all prokaryotic RNA viruses have Glu at this position. In the presence of Mg2+, the apparent affinity of Glu-297 3Dpol for 2'-deoxyribonucleotides was decreased by 6-fold relative to wild type without a substantial difference in the fidelity of 2'-dNMP incorporation. The fidelity of ribonucleotide misincorporation for Glu-297 3Dpol was reduced by 14-fold relative to wild type. A 4- to 11-fold reduction in the rate of ribonucleotide incorporation was observed. Glu-297 PV was unable to grow in HeLa cells due to a replication defect equivalent to that observed for a mutant PV encoding an inactive polymerase. Evaluation of the protein-(VPg)-primed initiation reaction showed that only half of the Glu-297 3Dpol initiation complexes were capable of producing VPg-pUpU product and that the overall yield of uridylylated VPg products was reduced by 20-fold relative to wild-type enzyme, a circumstance attributable to a reduced affinity for UTP. These studies identify the first RdRp derivative with a mutator phenotype and provide a mechanistic basis for the elevated mutation frequency of RNA phage relative to animal RNA viruses observed in culture. Although protein-primed initiation and RNA-primed elongation complexes employ the same polymerase active site, the functional differences reported here imply significant structural differences between these complexes.

Abstract
It is well established that protein aggregation is associated with many neurodegenerative disorders including polyglutamine diseases, but a mechanistic understanding of the role of protein aggregates in the disease pathogenesis remains elusive. Previously thought to be the cause of cellular toxicity such as cellular dysfunction and cell death, protein aggregation is now proposed to serve a protective role by sequestering toxic oligomers from interfering with essential physiological processes. To investigate the relationship between protein aggregation and cellular toxicity, we have characterized and compared the effects of two GFP-fusion proteins that form aggregates in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, one with a polyasparagine repeat (GFP(N104)) and one without (GFP(C)). Although both proteins can form microscopically visible GFP-positive aggregates, only the GFP(N104)-containing aggregates exhibit morphological and biochemical characteristics that resemble the aggregates formed by mutant huntingtin in yeast cells. Formation of both the GFP(C) and GFP(N104) aggregates depends on microtubules, while only the GFP(N104) aggregate requires the chaperone Hsp104 and the prion Rnq1 and is resistant to SDS. Although no microscopically visible GFP(N104) aggregates were observed in the hsp104Delta and rnq1Delta mutant cells, SDS-insoluble aggregates can still be detected by the filter trap assay. These observations argue that the GFP(N104)-containing aggregates can exist in at least two distinct states in vivo. We also show that a nucleus-targeted GFP(N104) interferes with transcription from two SAGA-dependant promoters and results in a decrease in cell viability. Overall, the results imply that the GFP(N104) protein behaves similarly to the mutant huntingtin in yeast cells and provides a new model for investigating the interplay between protein aggregates and the associated phenotypes.

Abstract
The PSO3 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was molecularly cloned by complementing the cold-sensitivity phenotype of a pso3-1 mutant and was found to be allelic to RNR4, encoding one of the two DNA damage-inducible small subunits of the ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) complex. Compared to a rnr4Delta mutant that allows only very little mutation induction at very low doses of 254(nm) ultraviolet light (UVC), the pso3-1 mutant allele confers leakiness in that it permits some DNA damage-induced mutagenesis at low doses of UVC. Similarly, the pso3 mutant is slightly less sensitive to UVC than an rnr4Delta mutant. Cloning and sequencing of the RNR4 locus of the pso3-1 mutant revealed that its intermediate phenotype is attributable to a G --> A transition at nucleotide 352, leading to replacement of glycine by arginine [G118R] in the mutant's protein. Both RNR4 mutant alleles confer significantly less sensitivity to UVC than mutant alleles of non-UVC-mutable REV3, indicating that, apart from nucleotide excision repair, RAD6-dependent error-free DNA repair may still be functional. The phenotype of a strongly reduced UVC-induced mutagenesis for rnr4 mutant alleles has not yet been described; it suggests the importance of this gene for a fully functional RNR providing correct amounts of DNA precursor molecules, thereby, allowing translesion synthesis (error-prone) of UVC-damaged DNA. Stationary phase cells of the rnr4Delta mutant, but not of the original pso3-1 mutant, are swollen with a fourfold to eightfold increase in volume. The central role of RNR in DNA precursor metabolism and its complex regulation allow for several modes of suppression that may influence the phenotypes of RNR4 mutants, especially those containing the leaky pso3-1 mutant allele.

Abstract
Ribonucleotide reductase maintains cellular deoxyribonucleotide pools and is thus tightly regulated during the cell cycle to ensure high fidelity in DNA replication. The Sml1 protein inhibits ribonucleotide reductase activity by binding to the R1 subunit. At the completion of each turnover cycle, the active site of R1 becomes oxidized and subsequently regenerated by a cysteine pair (CX2C) at its C-terminal domain (R1-CTD). Here we show that R1-CTD acts in trans to reduce the active site of its neighboring monomer. Both Sml1 and R1-CTD interact with the N-terminal domain of R1 (R1-NTD), which involves a conserved two-residue sequence motif in the R1-NTD. Mutations at these two positions enhancing the Sml1-R1 interaction cause SML1-dependent lethality. These results point to a model whereby Sml1 competes with R1-CTD for association with R1-NTD to hinder the accessibility of the CX2C motif to the active site for R1 regeneration.

Abstract
In eukaryotic cells the concentration of dNTP is highest in S phase and lowest in G1 phase and is controlled by ribonucleotide reductase (RNR). RNR activity is eliminated in all eukaryotes in G1 phase by a variety of mechanisms: transcriptional regulation, small inhibitory proteins, and protein degradation. After activation of RNR upon commitment to S phase, dATP feedback inhibition ensures that the dNTP concentration does not exceed a certain maximal level. It is not apparent why limitation of dNTP concentration is necessary in G1 phase. In principle, dATP feedback inhibition should be sufficient to couple dNTP production to utilization. We demonstrate that in Saccharomyces cerevisiae constitutively high dNTP concentration transiently arrests cell cycle progression in late G1 phase, affects activation of origins of replication, and inhibits the DNA damage checkpoint. We propose that fluctuation of dNTP concentration controls cell cycle progression and the initiation of DNA replication.
