Maslanka R, Bednarska S, Zadrag-Tecza R. Virtually identical does not mean exactly identical: Discrepancy in energy metabolism between glucose and fructose fermentation influences the reproductive potential of yeast cells. Arch Biochem Biophys 2024; 756:110021. [PMID: 38697344 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2024.110021] [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: 12/07/2023] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024]
Abstract
The physiological efficiency of cells largely depends on the possibility of metabolic adaptations to changing conditions, especially on the availability of nutrients. Central carbon metabolism has an essential role in cellular function. In most cells is based on glucose, which is the primary energy source, provides the carbon skeleton for the biosynthesis of important cell macromolecules, and acts as a signaling molecule. The metabolic flux between pathways of carbon metabolism such as glycolysis, pentose phosphate pathway, and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation is dynamically adjusted by specific cellular economics responding to extracellular conditions and intracellular demands. Using Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells and potentially similar fermentable carbon sources i.e. glucose and fructose we analyzed the parameters concerning the metabolic status of the cells and connected with them alteration in cell reproductive potential. Those parameters were related to the specific metabolic network: the hexose uptake - glycolysis and activity of the cAMP/PKA pathway - pentose phosphate pathway and biosynthetic capacities - the oxidative respiration and energy generation. The results showed that yeast cells growing in a fructose medium slightly increased metabolism redirection toward respiratory activity, which decreased pentose phosphate pathway activity and cellular biosynthetic capabilities. These differences between the fermentative metabolism of glucose and fructose, lead to long-term effects, manifested by changes in the maximum reproductive potential of cells.

Abstract
The mitochondrial outer membrane protein porin 1 (Por1), the yeast orthologue of mammalian voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), is the major permeability pathway for the flux of metabolites and ions between cytosol and mitochondria. In yeast, several Por1 phosphorylation sites have been identified. Protein phosphorylation is a major modification regulating a variety of biological activities, but the potential biological roles of Por1 phosphorylation remains unaddressed. In this work, we analysed 10 experimentally observed phosphorylation sites in yeast Por1 using bioinformatics tools. Two of the residues, T100 and S133, predicted to reduce and increase pore permeability, respectively, were validated using biological assays. In accordance, Por1T100D reduced mitochondrial respiration, while Por1S133E phosphomimetic mutant increased it. Por1T100A expression also improved respiratory growth, while Por1S133A caused defects in all growth conditions tested, notably in fermenting media. In conclusion, we found phosphorylation has the potential to modulate Por1, causing a marked effect on mitochondrial function. It can also impact on cell morphology and growth both in respiratory and, unpredictably, also in fermenting conditions, expanding our knowledge on the role of Por1 in cell physiology.

Abstract
Yeast is a valuable model organism for their ease of genetic manipulation, rapid growth rate, and relative similarity to higher eukaryotes. Historically, Saccharomyces cerevisiae has played a major role in discovering the function of complex proteins and pathways that are important for human health and disease. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone responsible for the stabilization and activation of hundreds of integral members of the cellular signaling network. Much important structural and functional work, including many seminal discoveries in Hsp90 biology are the direct result of work carried out in S. cerevisiae. Here, we have provided a brief overview of the S. cerevisiae model system and described how this eukaryotic model organism has been successfully applied to the study of Hsp90 chaperone function.

Abstract
Assembly of ribosomal subunits into active ribosomal complexes is integral to protein synthesis. Release of eIF6 from the 60S ribosomal subunit primes 60S to associate with the 40S subunit and engage in translation. The dynamics of eIF6 interaction with the uL14 (RPL23) interface of 60S and its perturbation by somatic mutations acquired in Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome (SDS) is yet to be clearly understood. Here, by using a modified strategy to obtain high yields of recombinant human eIF6 we have uncovered the critical interface entailing eight key residues in the C-tail of uL14 that is essential for physical interactions between 60S and eIF6. Disruption of the complementary binding interface by conformational changes in eIF6 disease variants provide a mechanism for weakened interactions of variants with the 60S. Hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) analyses uncovered dynamic configurational rearrangements in eIF6 induced by binding to uL14 and exposed an allosteric interface regulated by the C-tail of eIF6. Disrupting key residues in the eIF6-60S binding interface markedly limits proliferation of cancer cells, which highlights the significance of therapeutically targeting this interface. Establishing these key interfaces thus provide a therapeutic framework for targeting eIF6 in cancers and SDS.

Abstract
Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) regulate myriad cellular processes by modulating protein function and protein-protein interaction. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is an ATP-dependent molecular chaperone whose activity is responsible for the stabilization and maturation of more than 300 client proteins. Hsp90 is a substrate for numerous PTMs, which have diverse effects on Hsp90 function. Interestingly, many Hsp90 clients are enzymes that catalyze PTM, demonstrating one of the several modes of regulation of Hsp90 activity. Approximately 25 co-chaperone regulatory proteins of Hsp90 impact structural rearrangements, ATP hydrolysis, and client interaction, representing a second layer of influence on Hsp90 activity. A growing body of literature has also established that PTM of these co-chaperones fine-tune their activity toward Hsp90; however, many of the identified PTMs remain uncharacterized. Given the critical role of Hsp90 in supporting signaling in cancer, clinical evaluation of Hsp90 inhibitors is an area of great interest. Interestingly, differential PTM and co-chaperone interaction have been shown to impact Hsp90 binding to its inhibitors. Therefore, understanding these layers of Hsp90 regulation will provide a more complete understanding of the chaperone code, facilitating the development of new biomarkers and combination therapies.

The Role of S. cerevisiae Sub1/PC4 in Transcription Elongation Depends on the C-Terminal Region and Is Independent of the ssDNA Binding Domain. Cells 2022; 11:cells11203320.

Abstract
Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sub1 (ScSub1) has been defined as a transcriptional stimulatory protein due to its homology to the ssDNA binding domain (ssDBD) of human PC4 (hPC4). Recently, PC4/Sub1 orthologues have been elucidated in eukaryotes, prokaryotes, and bacteriophages with functions related to DNA metabolism. Additionally, ScSub1 contains a unique carboxyl–terminal region (CT) of unknown function up to date. Specifically, it has been shown that Sub1 is required for transcription activation, as well as other processes, throughout the transcription cycle. Despite the progress that has been made in understanding the mechanism underlying Sub1′s functions, some questions remain unanswered. As a case in point: whether Sub1’s roles in initiation and elongation are differentially predicated on distinct regions of the protein or how Sub1′s functions are regulated. Here, we uncover some residues that are key for DNA–ScSub1 interaction in vivo, localized in the ssDBD, and required for Sub1 recruitment to promoters. Furthermore, using an array of genetic and molecular techniques, we demonstrate that the CT region is required for transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). Altogether, our data indicate that Sub1 plays a dual role during transcription—in initiation through the ssDBD and in elongation through the CT region.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proteostasis unbalance and mitochondrial dysfunction are two hallmarks of aging. While the chaperone folds and activates its clients, it is the cochaperone that determines the specificity of the clients. Ids2 is an HSP90's cochaperone controlling mitochondrial functions, but no in vivo clients of Ids2 have been reported yet. RESULTS We performed a screen of the databases of HSP90 physical interactors, mitochondrial components, and mutants with respiratory defect, and identified Atp3, a subunit of the complex V ATP synthase, as a client of Ids2. Deletion of IDS2 destabilizes Atp3, and an α-helix at the middle region of Ids2 recruits Atp3 to the folding system. Shortage of Ids2 or Atp3 leads to the loss of mitochondrial DNA. The intermembrane space protease Yme1 is critical to maintaining the Atp3 protein level. Moreover, Ids2 is highly induced when cells carry out oxidative respiration. CONCLUSIONS These findings discover a cochaperone essentially for maintaining the stability of mitochondrial DNA and the proteostasis of the electron transport chain-crosstalk between two hallmarks of aging.

Abstract
The formation of condensates in membraneless organelles is thought to be driven by protein phase separation. Arginine methylation and serine/threonine phosphorylation are important in the phase separation process; however, these post-translational modifications are often present in intrinsically disordered regions that are difficult to analyze with standard proteomic techniques. To understand their presence and co-occurrence in condensate-associated proteins, here, we use a multiprotease and multi-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) fragmentation approach, coupled with heavy methyl stable isotope labeling of amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) and phospho- or methyl-peptide enrichment. For Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we report a 50% increase in the known arginine methylproteome, involving 15 proteins that are all condensate-associated. Importantly, some of these proteins have arginine methylation on all predicted sites-providing evidence that this modification can be pervasive. We explored whether arginine-methylated, condensate-associated proteins are also phosphorylated and found 12 such proteins to carry phosphorylated serine or threonine. In Npl3, Ded1, and Sbp1, single peptides were found to carry both modifications, indicating a co-occurrence in close proximity and on the same protein molecule. These co-modifications occur in regions of disorder, whereas arginine methylation is typically on regions of disorder that are also basic. For phosphorylation, its association with charged regions of condensate-associated proteins was less consistent, although some regions with multisite phosphorylation sites were strongly acidic. We conclude that arginine-methylated proteins associated with condensates are typically also modified with protein phosphorylation.

Abstract
Many cellular processes involve buffering mechanisms against noise to enhance state stability. Such processes include the cell cycle and the switch between respiration and fermentation. In recent years, protein aggregation/condensation has emerged as an important regulatory mechanism. In this article, we examine the regulation of Std1, an activator of the Snf1/AMPK kinase, by sequestration into foci of liquid drops, and how foci of metabolic signaling and enzymatic proteins are regulated by chaperones, anti-aggregases and by phosphorylation.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder with the pathological hallmark of α-synuclein aggregation. Dysregulation of α-synuclein homeostasis caused by aging, genetic, and environmental factors underlies the pathogenesis of PD. While chaperones are essential for proteostasis, whether modulation of cochaperones may participate in PD formation has not been fully characterized. Here, we assessed the expression of several HSP70- and HSP90-related factors under various stresses and found that BAG5 expression is distinctively elevated in etoposide- or H2O2-treated SH-SY5Y cells. Stress-induced p53 binds to the BAG5 promoter directly to stimulate BAG5. Induced BAG5 binds α-synuclein and HSP70 in both cell cultures and brain lysates from PD patients. Overexpressed BAG5 may result in the loss of its ability to promote HSP70. Importantly, α-synuclein aggregation in SH-SY5Y cells requires BAG5. BAG5 expression is also detected in transgenic SNCA mutant mice and in PD patients. Together, our data reveal stress-induced p53-BAG5-HSP70 regulation that provides a potential therapeutic angle for PD.

Reproductive Potential of Yeast Cells Depends on Overall Action of Interconnected Changes in Central Carbon Metabolism, Cellular Biosynthetic Capacity, and Proteostasis.

Abstract
Carbon metabolism is a crucial aspect of cell life. Glucose, as the primary source of energy and carbon skeleton, determines the type of cell metabolism and biosynthetic capabilities, which, through the regulation of cell size, may affect the reproductive capacity of the yeast cell. Calorie restriction is considered as the most effective way to improve cellular physiological capacity, and its molecular mechanisms are complex and include several nutrient signaling pathways. It is widely assumed that the metabolic shift from fermentation to respiration is treated as a substantial driving force for the mechanism of calorie restriction and its influence on reproductive capabilities of cells. In this paper, we propose another approach to this issue based on analysis the connection between energy-producing and biomass formation pathways which are closed in the metabolic triangle, i.e., the respiration-glycolysis-pentose phosphate pathway. The analyses were based on the use of cells lacking hexokinase 2 (∆hxk2) and conditions of different glucose concentration corresponding to the calorie restriction and the calorie excess. Hexokinase 2 is the key enzyme involved in central carbon metabolism and is also treated as a calorie restriction mimetic. The experimental model used allows us to explain both the role of increased respiration as an effect of calorie restriction but also other aspects of carbon metabolism and the related metabolic flux in regulation of reproductive potential of the cells. The obtained results reveal that increased respiration is not a prerequisite for reproductive potential extension but rather an accompanying effect of the positive role of calorie restriction. More important seems to be the changes connected with fluxes in central carbon metabolic pathways resulting in low biosynthetic capabilities and improved proteostasis.

Abstract
Unicellular organisms live under diverse stressful conditions and must respond and adapt quickly to these stresses. When these stresses persist, cells favor a transition to quiescence. There are changes to many processes when cells begin their entry into quiescence. It has been reported that Hsp82 plays an important role in several such processes, and its distribution and activity change according to nutrient conditions. In this study, we found that the subcellular distribution of Hsp82 is regulated by its co-chaperone Ppt1. Under starvation conditions, Ppt1 expression was significantly reduced by a TOR-independent pathway. Furthermore, we found that Ppt1 regulates Hsp82 distribution in the cytoplasm and nucleus by dephosphorylating the S485 residue on Hsp82. The Hsp82S485A strain has impaired membrane-related protein transport, and its cell size did not become larger in quiescence compared to log phase, resulting in failure to survive during starvation.

Abstract
The cAMP-PKA pathway plays an essential role in the pituitary gland, governing cell differentiation and survival, and maintenance of endocrine function. Somatotroph growth hormone transcription and release as well as cell proliferation are regulated by the cAMP-PKA pathway; cAMP-PKA pathway abnormalities are frequently detected in sporadic as well as in hereditary somatotroph tumors and more rarely in other pituitary tumors. Inactivating variants of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor-interacting protein (AIP)-coding gene are the genetic cause of a subset of familial isolated pituitary adenomas (FIPA). Multiple functional links between the co-chaperone AIP and the cAMP-PKA pathway have been described. This review explores the role of chaperones including AIP in normal pituitary function as well as in somatotroph tumors, and their interaction with the cAMP-PKA pathway.

Abstract
Aging is an intricate phenomenon associated with the gradual loss of physiological functions, and both nutrient sensing and proteostasis control lifespan. Although multiple approaches have facilitated the identification of candidate genes that govern longevity, the molecular mechanisms that link aging pathways are still elusive. Here, we conducted a quantitative mass spectrometry screen and identified all phosphorylation/dephosphorylation sites on yeast proteins that significantly responded to calorie restriction, a well-established approach to extend lifespan. Functional screening of 135 potential regulators uncovered that Ids2 is activated by PP2C under CR and inactivated by PKA under glucose intake. ids2Δ or ids2 phosphomimetic cells displayed heat sensitivity and lifespan shortening. Ids2 serves as a co-chaperone to form a complex with Hsc82 or the redundant Hsp82, and phosphorylation impedes its association with chaperone HSP90. Thus, PP2C and PKA may orchestrate glucose sensing and protein folding to enable cells to maintain protein quality for sustained longevity.
