Abstract
Amyloids are protein aggregates with the cross-β structure. The interest in amyloids is explained, on the one hand, by their role in the development of socially significant human neurodegenerative diseases, and on the other hand, by the discovery of functional amyloids, whose formation is an integral part of cellular processes. To date, more than a hundred proteins with the amyloid or amyloid-like properties have been identified. Studying the structure of amyloid aggregates has revealed a wide variety of protein conformations. In the review, we discuss the diversity of protein folds in the amyloid-like aggregates and the characteristic features of amyloid aggregates that determine their unusual properties, including stability and interaction with amyloid-specific dyes. The review also describes the diversity of amyloid aggregates and its significance for living organisms.

Abstract
Amyloids are fibrillar protein aggregates with a cross-β structure and unusual features, including high resistance to detergent or protease treatment. More than two hundred different proteins with amyloid or amyloid-like properties are already known. Several examples of nucleoporins (e.g., yeast Nup49, Nup100, Nup116, and human NUP153) are supposed to form amyloid fibrils. In this study, we demonstrated an ability of the human NUP58 nucleoporin to form amyloid aggregates in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, we found two forms of NUP58 aggregates: oligomers and polymers stabilized by disulfide bonds. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that all known orthologs of this protein are potential amyloids which possess several regions with conserved ability to aggregation. The biological role of nucleoporin amyloid formation is debatable. We suggest that it is a rather abnormal process, which is characteristic for many proteins implicated in phase separation.

Abstract
Prions are proteins that can exist in several structurally and functionally distinct states, one or more of which is transmissible. Yeast proteins Sup35 and Rnq1 in prion state ([PSI+] and [PIN+], respectively) form oligomers and aggregates, which are transmitted from parents to offspring in a series of generations. Several pieces of indirect evidence indicate that these aggregates also possess amyloid properties, but their binding to amyloid-specific dyes has not been shown in vivo. Meanwhile, it is the specific binding to the Congo Red dye and birefringence in polarized light after such staining that is considered the gold standard for proving the amyloid properties of a protein. Here, we used immunoprecipitation to extract native fibrils of the Sup35 and Rnq1 proteins from yeast strains with different prion status. These fibrils are detected by electron microscopy, stained with Congo Red and exhibit yellow-green birefringence after such staining. All these data show that the Sup35 and Rnq1 proteins in prion state form amyloid fibrils in vivo. The technology of fibrils extraction in combination with standard cytological methods can be used to identify new pathological and functional amyloids in any organism and to analyze the structural features of native amyloid fibrils.

Abstract
Thousands of yeast genomes have been sequenced with both traditional and long-read technologies, and multiple observations about modes of genome evolution for both wild and laboratory strains have been drawn from these sequences. In our study, we applied Oxford Nanopore and Illumina technologies to assemble complete genomes of two widely used members of a distinct laboratory yeast lineage, the Peterhof Genetic Collection (PGC), and investigate the structural features of these genomes including transposable element content, copy number alterations, and structural rearrangements. We identified numerous notable structural differences between genomes of PGC strains and the reference S288C strain. We discovered a substantial enrichment of mid-length insertions and deletions within repetitive coding sequences, such as in the SCH9 gene or the NUP100 gene, with possible impact of these variants on protein amyloidogenicity. High contiguity of the final assemblies allowed us to trace back the history of reciprocal unbalanced translocations between chromosomes I, VIII, IX, XI, and XVI of the PGC strains. We show that formation of hybrid alleles of the FLO genes during such chromosomal rearrangements is likely responsible for the lack of invasive growth of yeast strains. Taken together, our results highlight important features of laboratory yeast strain evolution using the power of long-read sequencing.

Abstract
Active accumulation of the data on new amyloids continuing nowadays dissolves boundaries of the term "amyloid". Currently, it is most often used to designate aggregates with cross-β structure. At the same time, amyloids also exhibit a number of other unusual properties, such as: detergent and protease resistance, interaction with specific dyes, and ability to induce transition of some proteins from a soluble form to an aggregated one. The same features have been also demonstrated for the aggregates lacking cross-β structure, which are commonly called "amyloid-like" and combined into one group, although they are very diverse. We have collected and systematized information on the properties of more than two hundred known amyloids and amyloid-like proteins with emphasis on conflicting examples. In particular, a number of proteins in membraneless organelles form aggregates with cross-β structure that are morphologically indistinguishable from the other amyloids, but they can be dissolved in the presence of detergents, which is not typical for amyloids. Such paradoxes signify the need to clarify the existing definition of the term amyloid. On the other hand, the demonstrated structural diversity of the amyloid-like aggregates shows the necessity of their classification.

Abstract
Yeast self-perpetuating protein aggregates (yeast prions) provide a framework to investigate the interaction of misfolded proteins with the protein quality control machinery. The major component of this system that facilitates propagation of all known yeast amyloid prions is the Hsp104 chaperone that catalyzes fibril fragmentation. Overproduction of Hsp104 cures some yeast prions via a fragmentation-independent mechanism. Importantly, major cytosolic chaperones of the Hsp40 group, Sis1 and Ydj1, oppositely affect yeast prion propagation, and are capable of stimulating different activities of Hsp104. In this work, we developed a quantitative method to investigate the Hsp40 binding to amyloid aggregates. We demonstrate that Sis1 binds fibrils formed by the Sup35NM protein with higher affinity compared to Ydj1. Moreover, the interaction of Sis1 with the fibrils formed by the other yeast prion protein, Rnq1, is orders of magnitude weaker. We show that the deletion of the dimerization domain of Sis1 (crucial for the curing of [PSI+] by excess Hsp104) decreases its affinity to both Sup35NM and Rnq1 fibrils. Taken together, these results suggest that tight binding of Hsp40 to the amyloid fibrils is likely to enhance aggregate malpartition instead of fibril fragmentation.

Abstract
Semi-denaturing detergent agarose gel electrophoresis (SDD-AGE) was proposed by Vitaly V. Kushnirov in the Michael D. Ter-Avanesyan’s laboratory as a method to compare sizes of amyloid aggregates. Currently, this method is widely used for amyloid investigation, but mostly as a qualitative approach. In this work, we assessed the possibilities and limitations of the quantitative analysis of amyloid aggregate size distribution using SDD-AGE results. For this purpose, we used aggregates of two well-characterized yeast amyloid-forming proteins, Sup35 and Rnq1, and developed a protocol to standardize image analysis and process the result. A detailed investigation of factors that may affect the results of SDD-AGE revealed that both the cell lysis method and electrophoresis conditions can substantially affect the estimation of aggregate size. Despite this, quantitative analysis of SDD-AGE results is possible when one needs to estimate and compare the size of aggregates on the same gel, or even in different experiments, if the experimental conditions are tightly controlled and additional standards are used.

Abstract
A number of [PSI+]-no-more (PNM) mutations, eliminating [PSI+] prion, were previously described in SUP35. In this study, we designed and analyzed a new PNM mutation based on the parallel in-register β-structure of Sup35 prion fibrils suggested by the known experimental data. In such an arrangement, substitution of non-charged residues by charged ones may destabilize the fibril structure. We introduced Q33K/A34K amino acid substitutions into the Sup35 protein, corresponding allele was called sup35-M0. The mutagenized residues were chosen based on ArchCandy in silico prediction of high inhibitory effect on the amyloidogenic potential of Sup35. The experiments confirmed that Sup35-M0 leads to the elimination of [PSI+] with high efficiency. Our data suggested that the elimination of the [PSI+] prion is associated with the decreased aggregation properties of the protein. The new mutation can induce the prion with very low efficiency and is able to propagate only weak [PSI+] prion variants. We also showed that Sup35-M0 protein co-aggregates with the wild-type Sup35 in vivo. Moreover, our data confirmed the utility of the strategy of substitution of non-charged residues by charged ones to design new mutations to inhibit a prion formation.

Abstract
Termination of translation in eukaryotes is governed by two release factors encoded by the SUP45 and SUP35 genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Previously, a set of mutations in these genes had been obtained. However, the exact sequence change associated with one mutation, sup35-222, was not identified by Sanger sequencing of the SUP35 region. Presented here are whole-genome sequencing data for the sup35-222 strain, data on copy number variation in its genome along with supporting pulse-field gel electrophoresis experiment data, and the list of single-nucleotide variations that differentiate this strain and its wild-type ancestor. One substitution upstream the SUP35 gene was located in a sequence corresponding to the Abf1-binding site. Data obtained from the introduction of this variation from sup35-222 strain into a different wild-type strain, specifically, detection of a nonsense-suppressor phenotype accompanied by a decrease in the Sup35 protein level, are also presented in this article.

Abstract
Yeast self-perpetuating protein aggregates (prions) provide a convenient model for studying various components of the cellular protein quality control system. Molecular chaperones and chaperone-sorting factors, such as yeast Cur1 protein, play key role in proteostasis via tight control of partitioning and recycling of misfolded proteins. In this study, we show that, despite the previously described ability of Cur1 to antagonize the yeast prion [URE3], it enhances propagation and phenotypic manifestation of another prion, [PSI+ ]. We demonstrate that both curing of [URE3] and enhancement of [PSI+ ] in the presence of excess Cur1 are counteracted by the cochaperone Hsp40-Sis1 in a dosage-dependent manner, and show that the effect of Cur1 on prions parallels effects of the attachment of nuclear localization signal to Sis1, indicating that Cur1 acts on prions via its previously reported ability to relocalize Sis1 from the cytoplasm to nucleus. This shows that the direction in which Cur1 influences a prion depends on how this specific prion responds to relocalization of Sis1.

Abstract
Translation termination is an important step in gene expression. Its correct processing is governed by eRF1 (Sup45) and eRF3 (Sup35) proteins. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, mutations in the corresponding genes, as well as Sup35 aggregation in [PSI^(+)] cells that propagate the prion form of Sup35 lead to inaccurate stop codon recognition and, consequently, nonsense suppression. The presence of stronger prion variants results in the more efficient suppression of nonsense mutations. Previously, we proposed a synthetic lethality test that enables the identification of genes that may influence either translation termination factors or [PSI^(+)] manifestation. This is based on the fact that the combination of sup45 mutations with the strong [PSI^(+)] prion variant in diploids is lethal. In this work, a set of genes that were previously shown to enhance nonsense suppression was analyzed. It was found that ABF1, FKH2, and REB1 overexpression decreased the growth of strains in a prion-dependent manner and, thus, might influence [PSI^(+)] prion toxicity. It was also shown that the synthetic lethality of [PSI^(+)] and sup45 mutations increased with the overexpression of GLN3 and MOT3 that encode Q/N-rich transcription factors. An analysis of the effects of their expression on the transcription of the release factors genes revealed an increase in SUP35 transcription in both cases. Since SUP35 overexpression is known to be toxic in [PSI^(+)] strains, these genes apparently enhance [PSI^(+)] toxicity via the regulation of SUP35 transcription.

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
Previously, we proposed a test system allowing to perform search for genes that influence the properties of the Sup35 and Sup45 protein. This test is based on the phenomenon of lethality of diploids that combine mutations in SUP45 gene with [PSI+] prion. Lethality of this combination depends on the type of sup45 mutation, and the properties of the prion. [PSI+] variant, which is a strong suppressor ([PSI+]s), showing synthetic lethality with all the nonsense mutations and some missense sup45 mutations in the heterozygote state. The presence of extra copies of a gene under test that affects the phenotypic manifestation of prion [PSI+] or translation termination factors properties, leads to the increase or decrease in diploid lethality. Gene library screening using this test system allowed us to establish the effect of ten fragments of genomic DNA of yeast on synthetic lethality. Deletion analysis of these regions has led to the identification of the HLJ1 and TEF2 genes, as affecting Sup35 protein prionization and/or the efficiency of translation termination.
