AbstractAbstract PDF
A novel bacterium, designated YYF0007T, was isolated from an agar-degrading co-culture. The strain was found harboring four CRISPR-Cas systems of two classes in the chromosome and subsequently subjected to a study on polyphasic taxonomy. Pairwise analyses of the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain YYF0007T had highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (92.2%) to Jiulongibacter sediminis JN- 14-9T. The phylogenomic trees based on the 16S rRNA gene and 269 single-copy orthologous gene clusters (OCs) indicated that strain YYF0007T should be recognized as a novel genus of the family Spirosomaceae. The cells were Gramstain- negative, nonmotile, strictly aerobic, and straight long rods with no flagellum. Optimum growth occurred at 28°C and pH 7.0 with the presence of NaCl concentration 1.0–3.0% (w/v). The strain showed oxidase and catalase activities. The major fatty acids were C16:1ω5c, iso-C15:0 and summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c and/or C16:1 ω6c). The predominant isoprenoid quinone was MK-7. The complete genome size was 4.64 Mb with a DNA G + C content of 44.4%. Further typing of CRISPR-Cas systems in the family Spirosomaceae and the phylum Bacteroidota indicated that it was remarkable for strain YYF0007T featured by such a set of CRISPR-Cas systems. This trait highlights the applications of strain YYF- 0007T in studies on the evolutionary dynamics and bacterial autoimmunity of CRISPR-Cas system as a potential model. The name Marinilongibacter aquaticus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed, and the type strain is YYF0007T (= MCCC 1K06017T = GDMCC 1.2428T = JCM 34683T).

AbstractAbstract PDF
Hyperhomocysteine (HHcy) is known as a risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). Despite the knowledge that gut microbiota related metabolism pathway shares metabolites with that of Hcy, little has been shown concerning the association between HHcy and gut microbiota. To explore their relationship in the context of CAD, 105 patients and 14 healthy controls were recruited from one single medical center located in Beijing, China. Their serum and fecal samples were collected, with multi-omics analyses performed via LC/MS/ MS and 16S rRNA gene V3-V4 region sequencing, respectively. Participants from the prospective cohort were divided into CAD, CAD & HHcy and healthy controls (HC) groups based on the diagnosis and serum Hcy concentration. The
results
revealed significant different metabolic signatures between CAD and CAD & HHcy groups. CAD patients with HHcy suffered a heavier atherosclerotic burden compared to CAD patients, and the difference was closely associated to betaine-homocysteine S-methyltransferase (BHMT)-related metabolites and trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO)-related metabolites. Dimethylglycine (DMG) exhibited a strong positive correlation with serum total Hcy (tHcy), and TMAO and trimethylysine (TML) were associated with heavier atherosclerotic burden. Multiple other metabolites were also identified to be related to distinct cardiovascular risk factors. Additionally, Clostridium cluster IV and Butyricimonas were enriched in CAD patients with elevated tHcy. Our study suggested that CAD patients with elevated tHcy were correlated with higher atherosclerotic burden, and the impaired Hcy metabolism and cardiovascular risk were closely associated with BHMT-related metabolites, TMAO-related metabolites and impaired gut microbiota homeostasis.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Aroma ester components produced by fermenting yeast cells via alcohol acetyltransferase (AATase)-catalyzed intracellular reactions are responsible for the fruity character of fermented alcoholic beverages, such as beer and wine. Acetate esters are reportedly produced at relatively high concentrations by non-Saccharomyces species. Here, we identified 12 ATF orthologues (SfATFs) encoding putative AATases, in the diploid genome of Saccharomycopsis fibuligera KJJ81, an isolate from wheat-based Nuruk in Korea. The identified SfATF proteins (SfAtfp) display low sequence identities with S. cerevisiae Atf1p (between 13.3 and 27.0%). All SfAtfp identified, except SfAtf(A)4p and SfAtf(B)4p, contained the activation domain (HXXXD) conserved in other Atf proteins. Culture supernatant analysis using headspace gas chromatography mass spectrometry confirmed that the recombinant S. cerevisiae strains expressing SfAtf(A)2p, SfAtf(B)2p, and SfAtf(B)6p produced high levels of isoamyl and phenethyl acetates. The volatile aroma profiles generated by the SfAtf proteins were distinctive from that of S. cerevisiae Atf1p, implying difference in the substrate preference. Cellular localization analysis using GFP fusion revealed the localization of SfAtf proteins proximal to the lipid particles, consistent with the presence of amphipathic helices at their N- and C-termini. This is the first report that systematically characterizes the S. fibuligera ATF genes encoding functional AATases responsible for acetate ester formation using higher alcohols as substrate, demonstrating their biotechnological potential for volatile ester production.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) is a Gram-positive intracellular foodborne pathogen that causes severe diseases, such as meningitis and sepsis. The NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome has been reported to participate in host defense against pathogen infection. However, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying NLRP3 inflammasome activation remain to be fully elucidated. In the present study, the roles of mammalian Ste20- like kinases 1/2 (Mst1/2) and Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) in the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome induced by L. monocytogenes infection were investigated. The expression levels of Mst1/2, phospho (p)-ALK, p-JNK, Nek7, and NLRP3 downstream molecules including activated caspase- 1 (p20) and mature interleukin (IL)-1β (p17), were upregulated in L. monocytogenes-infected macrophages. The ALK inhibitor significantly decreased the expression of p-JNK, Nek7, and NLRP3 downstream molecules in macrophages infected with L. monocytogenes. Furthermore, the Mst1/2 inhibitor markedly inhibited the L. monocytogenes-induced activation of ALK, subsequently downregulating the expression of p-JNK, Nek7, and NLRP3 downstream molecules. Therefore, our study demonstrated that Mst1/2-ALK mediated the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome by promoting the interaction between Nek7 and NLRP3 via JNK during L. monocytogenes infection, which subsequently increased the maturation and release of proinflammatory cytokine to resist pathogen infection. Moreover, Listeriolysin O played a key role in the process. In addition, we also found that the L. monocytogenes-induced apoptosis of J774A.1 cells was reduced by the Mst1/2 or ALK inhibitor. The present study reported, for the first time, that the Mst1/2-ALK-JNK-NLRP3 signaling pathway plays a vital proinflammatory role during L. monocytogenes infection.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Protein lysine acetylation influences many physiological functions, such as gene regulation, metabolism, and disease in eukaryotes. Although little is known about the role of lysine acetylation in bacteria, several reports have proposed its importance in various cellular processes. Here, we discussed the function of the protein lysine acetylation and the post-translational modifications (PTMs) of histone-like proteins in bacteria focusing on Salmonella pathogenicity. The protein lysine residue in Salmonella is acetylated by the Pat-mediated enzymatic pathway or by the acetyl phosphate-mediated non-enzymatic pathway. In Salmonella, the acetylation of lysine 102 and lysine 201 on PhoP inhibits its protein activity and DNAbinding, respectively. Lysine acetylation of the transcriptional regulator, HilD, also inhibits pathogenic gene expression. Moreover, it has been reported that the protein acetylation patterns significantly differ in the drug-resistant and -sensitive Salmonella strains. In addition, nucleoid-associated proteins such as histone-like nucleoid structuring protein (H-NS) are critical for the gene silencing in bacteria, and PTMs in H-NS also affect the gene expression. In this review, we suggest that protein lysine acetylation and the post-translational modifications of H-NS are important factors in understanding the regulation of gene expression responsible for pathogenicity in Salmonella.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Brucella, the bacterial agent of common zoonotic brucellosis, primarily infects specific animal species. The Brucella outer membrane proteins (Omps) are particularly attractive for developing vaccine and improving diagnostic tests and are associated with the virulence of smooth Brucella strains. Omp16 is a homologue to peptidoglycan-associated lipoproteins (Pals), and an omp16 mutant has not been generated in any Brucella strain until now. Very little is known about the functions and pathogenic mechanisms of Omp16 in Brucella. Here, we confirmed that Omp16 has a conserved Pal domain and is highly conserved in Brucella. We attempted to delete omp16 in Brucella suis vaccine strain 2 (B. suis S2) without success, which shows that Omp16 is vital for Brucella survival. We acquired a B. suis S2 Omp16 mutant via conditional complementation. Omp16 deficiency impaired Brucella outer membrane integrity and activity in vitro. Moreover, inactivation of Omp16 decreased bacterial intracellular survival in macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. B. suis S2 and its derivatives induced marked expression of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α mRNA in Raw 264.7 cells. Whereas inactivation of Omp16 in Brucella enhanced IL-1β and IL-6 expression in Raw 264.7 cells. Altogether, these findings show that the Brucella Omp16 mutant was obtained via conditional complementation and confirmed that Omp16 can maintain outer membrane integrity and be involved in bacterial virulence in Brucella in vitro and in vivo. These results will be important in uncovering the pathogenic mechanisms of Brucella.

died and applied in processes targeted for industrial scale. In this work, the cutinase gene tfu from Thermobifida fusca was artificially synthesized according to codon usage bias of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and investigated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Using the α-factor signal peptide, the T. fusca cutinase was successfully overexpressed and secreted with the GAL1 expression system. To increase the cutinase level and overcome some of the drawbacks of induction, four different strong promoters (ADH1, HXT1, TEF1, and TDH3) were comparatively evaluated for cutinase production. By comparison, promoter TEF1 exhibited an outstanding property and significantly increased the expression level. By fed-batch fermentation with a constant feeding approach, the activity of cutinase was increased to 29.7 U/ml. The result will contribute to apply constitutive promoter TEF1 as a tool for targeted cutinase production in S. cerevisiae cell factory.

AbstractAbstract PDF
To deal with chemically reactive oxygen molecules constantly threatening aerobic life, cells are readily equipped with elabo-rate biological antioxidant systems. Superoxide dismutase is a metalloenzyme catalytically eliminating superoxide radi-cal as a first-line defense mechanism against oxidative stress. Multiple different SOD isoforms have been developed through-out evolution to play distinct roles in separate subcellular com-partments. SOD is not essential for viability of most aerobic organisms and intriguingly found even in strictly anaerobic bacteria. Sod1 has recently been known to play important roles as a nuclear transcription factor, an RNA binding pro-tein, a synthetic lethal interactor, and a signal modulator in glucose metabolism, most of which are independent of its canonical function as an antioxidant enzyme. In this review, recent advances in understanding the unconventional role of Sod1 are highlighted and discussed with an emphasis on its genetic crosstalk with DNA damage repair/checkpoint path-ways. The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been successfully used as an efficient tool and a model organism to investigate a number of novel functions of Sod1.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Rok1, a DEAD-box RNA helicase, is involved in rRNA processing and the control of cell cycle progression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Rok1 protein expression is cell cycle-regulated, declining at G1/S and increasing at G2. The downregulation of Rok1 expression in G1/S phase is mediated by the inhibitory action of two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the ROK1 5􍿁-untranslated region (5􍿁UTR). We identified Psk2 (PAS kinase), Skp1 (kinetochore protein) and Tub4 (γ-tubulin protein) as ROK1 5􍿁UTR-interacting proteins using yeast three-hybrid system. A deletion analysis of PSK2 or inactivation of temperature-sensitive alleles of SKP1 and TUB4 revealed that Rok1 protein synthesis is repressed by Psk2 and Skp1. This repression appeared to be mediated through the ROK1 uORF1. In contrast, Tub4 plays a positive role in regulating Rok1 protein synthesis and likely after the uORF1-mediated inhibitory regulation. These results suggest that 5􍿁UTR-interacting proteins, identified using three hybrid screening, are important for uORF-mediated regulation of Rok1 protein expression.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Silent Information Regulator 2 (Sir2), a conserved NAD+- dependent histone deacetylase, has been implicated as one of the key factors in regulating stress response and longevity. Here, we report that the role of Sir2 in oxidative stress resistance and chronological lifespan is dependent on growth phase in yeast. In exponential phase, sir2Δ cells were more resistant to H2O2 stress and had a longer chronological lifespan than wild type. By contrast, in post-diauxic phase, sir2Δ cells were less resistant to H2O2 stress and had a shorter chronological lifespan than wild type cells. Similarly, the expression of antioxidant genes, which are essential to cope with oxidative stress, was regulated by Sir2 in a growth phasedependent manner. Collectively, our findings highlight the importance of the metabolic state of the cell in determining whether Sir2 can protect against or accelerate cellular aging of yeast.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Pif1 DNA helicase is the prototypical member of a 5' to 3' helicase superfamily conserved from bacteria to humans. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pif1 and its homologue Rrm3, localize in both mitochondria and nucleus playing multiple roles in the maintenance of genomic homeostasis. They display relatively weak processivities in vitro, but have largely non-overlapping functions on common genomic loci such as mitochondrial DNA, telomeric ends, and many replication forks especially at hard-to-replicate regions including ribosomal DNA and G-quadruplex structures. Recently, emerging evidence shows that Pif1, but not Rrm3, has a significant new role in repair-associated DNA synthesis with Polδ during homologous recombination stimulating D-loop migration for conservative DNA replication. Comparative genetic and biochemical studies on the structure and function of Pif1 family helicases across different biological systems are further needed to elucidate both diversity and specificity of their mechanisms of action that contribute to genome stability.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Stearidonic acid (STA; 18:4n-3) and γ-linolenic acid (GLA; 18:3n-6) are significant intermediates in the biosynthetic pathway for the very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5n-3) and arachidonic acid (ARA; 20:4n-6), respectively. To develop a sustainable system for the production of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids, we focused on the action of the enzyme delta 6-desaturase (D6DES) on the essential acids, linoleic acid (LA; 18:2n-6) and α-linolenic acid (ALA; 18:3n-3). A 1,335-bp full-length cDNA encoding D6DES (McD6DES) was cloned from Muraenesox cinereus using degenerate PCR and RACE-PCR
methods
. To investigate the enzymatic activity of McD6DES in the production of n-6 and n-3 fatty acids, a recombinant plasmid expressing McD6DES (pYES-McD6DES) was transformed into and expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The exogenously expressed McD6DES produced GLA and STA at conversion rates of 14.2% and 45.9%, respectively, from the exogenous LA and ALA substrates. These results indicate that McD6DES is essentially a delta 6-desaturase involved in very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid synthesis.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Secreted aspartic proteinase Sapp1p of Candida parapsilosis represents one of the factors contributing to the pathogenicity of the fungus. The proteinase is synthesized as an inactive pre-pro-enzyme, but only processed Sapp1p is secreted into extracellular space. We constructed a plasmid containing the SAPP1 coding sequence under control of the ScGAL1 promoter and used it for proteinase expression in a Saccharomyces cerevisiae kex2Δ mutant. Because Sapp1p maturation depends on cleavage by Kex2p proteinase, the kex2Δ mutant secreted only the pro-form of Sapp1p. Characterization of this secreted proteinase form revealed that the Sapp1p signal peptide consists of 23 amino acids. Additionally, we prepared a plasmid with the SAPP1 coding sequence under control of its authentic CpSAPP1 promoter, which contains two GATAA motifs. While in C. parapsilosis SAPP1 expression is repressed by good low molecular weight nitrogen sources (e.g., ammonium ions), S. cerevisiae cells harboring this plasmid secreted a low concentration of active proteinase regardless of the type of nitrogen source used. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis of a set of genes related to nitrogen metabolism and uptake (GAT1, GLN3, STP2, GAP1, OPT1, and PTR2) obtained from S. cerevisiae cells transformed with either plasmid encoding SAPP1 under control of its own promoter or empty vector and cultivated in media containing various nitrogen sources also suggested that SAPP1 expression can be connected with the S. cerevisiae regulatory network. However, this regulation occurs in a different manner than in C. parapsilosis.

AbstractAbstract
Exposure to low temperatures reduces protein folding rates and induces the cold denaturation of proteins. Considering the roles played by chaperones in facilitating protein folding and preventing protein aggregation, chaperones must exist that confer tolerance to cold stress. Here, yeast strains lacking individual chaperones were screened for reduced freezing tolerance. In total, 19 of 82 chaperone-deleted strains tested were more sensitive to freeze-thaw treatment than wild-type cells. The reintroduction of the respective chaperone genes into the deletion mutants recovered the freeze tolerance. The freeze sensitivity of the chaperone-knockout strains was also retained in the presence of 20% glycerol.

AbstractAbstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the cause of most cases of cervical cancer. HPV type 58 (HPV58) is the second most frequent cause of cervical cancer and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) in Asia and South / Central America, respectively. However, there is no vaccine against HPV58, although there are commercially available vaccines against HPV16 and 18. In this study, we produced HPV58 L1 protein from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and investigated its immunogenicity. We first determined the optimum period of culture for obtaining HPV58 L1. We found that a considerable portion of the HPV58 L1 resulting from 48 h culture cannot be recovered by purification, while the HPV58 L1 resulting from 144 h culture is recovered efficiently: the yield of HPV58 L1 finally recovered from 144 h culture was 2.3 times higher than that from 48 h culture, although the production level of L1 protein from 144 h culture was lower than that from 48 h culture. These results indicate that the proportion of functional L1 protein from 144 h-cultured cells is significantly higher than that of 48 h-cultured cells. The HPV58 L1 purified from the 144 h culture was correctly assembled into structures similar to naturally occurring HPV virions. Immunization with the HPV58 L1 efficiently elicited anti-HPV58 neutralizing antibodies and antigen-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell proliferations, without the need for adjuvant. Our findings provide a convenient method for obtaining substantial amounts of highly immunogenic HPV58 L1 from S. cerevisiae.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have been shown to be capable of clean energy production through the oxidation of biodegradable organic waste using various bacterial species as biocatalysts. In this study we found Saccharomyces cerevisiae, previously known electrochemcially inactive or less active species, can be acclimated with an electron mediator thionine for electrogenic biofilm formation in MFC, and electricity production is improved with facilitation of electron transfer. Power generation of MFC was also significantly increased by thionine with both aerated and non-aerated cathode. With electrochemically active biofilm enriched with swine wastewater, MFC power increased more significantly by addition of thionine. The optimum mediator concentration was 500 mM of thionine with S. cerevisae in MFC with the maximum voltage and current generation in the microbial fuel cell were 420 mV and 700 mA/m2, respectively. Cyclic voltametry shows that thionine improves oxidizing and reducing capability in both pure culture and acclimated biofilm as compared to non-mediated cell. The results obtained indicated that thionine has great potential to enhance power generation from unmediated yeast or electrochemically active biofilm in MFC.

AbstractAbstract PDF
The MuS1 gene is highly homologous to many stress-related proteins in plants. Here, we characterized whether a new candidate gene, MuS1, is related to multiple stress tolerance in yeast as it is in plants. Transgenic yeast strain expressing MuS1 were more resistant to hydrogen peroxide, menadione, high salinity, metals (i.e., cadmium, copper, iron, and zinc), ethanol, and lactic acid than wild-type strain transformed with a vector alone. In addition, the alcohol yield of the transgenic yeast strain was higher than that of the wild-type strain during the batch fermentation process. These results show that MuS1-expressing transgenic yeast strain exhibits enhanced alcohol yield as well as tolerance to abiotic stresses, especially metal stress.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Replacement of glycine 227 in the fifth WD40 motif of α-COP/Ret1p/Soo1p by charged or aromatic amino acids is responsible for the temperature-dependent osmo-sensitivity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, while truncations of WD40 motifs exerted a reduction in cell growth rate and impairment in assembly of cell-wall associated proteins such as enolase and Gas1p. Yeast two-hybrid analysis revealed that the ret1-1/soo1-1 mutation of α-COP abolished the interaction with β- and ε-COP, respectively, and that the interaction between α-COP and β-COP relied on the WD40 domain of α-COP. Furthermore, although the WD40 domain is dispensable for interaction of α-COP with ε-COP, structural alterations in the WD40 domain could impair the interaction.

AbstractAbstract PDF
DNA metabolic processes such as DNA replication, recombination, and repair are fundamentally important for the maintenance of genome integrity and cell viability. Although a large number of proteins involved in these pathways have been extensively studied, many proteins still remain to be identified. In this study, we isolated DNA-binding proteins from Saccharomyces cerevisiae using DNA-cellulose columns. By analyzing the proteins using mass spectrometry, an uncharacterized protein, Cmr1/YDL156W, was identified. Cmr1 showed sequence homology to human Damaged-DNA binding protein 2 in its C-terminal WD40 repeats. Consistent with this finding, the purified recombinant Cmr1 protein was found to be intrinsically associated with DNA-binding activity and exhibited higher affinity to UV-damaged DNA substrates. Chromatin isolation experiments revealed that Cmr1 localized in both the chromatin and supernatant fractions, and the level of Cmr1 in the chromatin fraction increased when yeast cells were irradiated with UV. These
results
suggest that Cmr1 may be involved in DNA-damage responses in yeast.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Proteins interact with each other for performing essential functions of an organism. They change partners to get involved in various processes at different times or locations. Studying variations of protein interactions within a specific process would help better understand the dynamic features of the protein interactions and their functions. We studied the protein interaction network of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) during the brewing of Japanese sake. In this process, yeast cells are exposed to several stresses. Analysis of protein interaction networks of yeast during this process helps to understand how protein interactions of yeast change during the sake brewing process. We used gene expression profiles of yeast cells for this purpose. Results of our experiments revealed some characteristics and behaviors of yeast hubs and non-hubs and their dynamical changes during the brewing process. We found that just a small portion of the proteins (12.8 to 21.6%) is responsible for the functional changes of the proteins in the sake brewing process. The changes in the number of edges and hubs of the yeast protein interaction networks increase in the first stages of the process and it then decreases at the final stages.

AbstractAbstract PDF
The molecular mechanisms involved in the ability of yeast cells to adapt and respond to oxidative stress are of great interest to the pharmaceutical, medical, food, and fermentation industries. In this study, we investigated the time-dependent, cellular redox homeostasis ability to adapt to menadione-induced oxidative stress, using biochemical and proteomic approaches in Saccharomyces cerevisiae KNU5377. Time-dependent cell viability was inversely proportional to endogenous amounts of ROS measured by a fluorescence assay with 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFHDA), and was hypersensitive when cells were exposed to the compound for 60 min. Morphological changes, protein oxidation and lipid peroxidation were also observed. To overcome the unfavorable conditions due to the presence of menadione, yeast cells activated a variety of cell rescue proteins including antioxidant enzymes, molecular chaperones, energy-generating metabolic enzymes, and antioxidant molecules such as trehalose. Thus, these results show that menadione causes ROS generation and high accumulation of cellular ROS levels, which affects cell viability and cell morphology and there is a correlation between resistance to menadione and the high induction of cell rescue proteins after cells enter into this physiological state, which provides a clue about the complex and dynamic stress response in yeast cells.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Genome-wide transcriptional analysis of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae batch culture revealed that more than 829 genes were regulated in response to an environmental shift from pH 6 to pH 3 by added sulfuric acid. This shift in pH was not detrimental to the rate of growth compared to a control culture that was maintained at pH 6 and the transcriptional changes most strikingly implicated not up- but down-regulation of stress responses. In addition, the transcriptional changes upon acid addition indicated remodeling of the cell wall and central carbon metabolism. The overall trend of changes was similar for the pH-shift experiment and the pH 6 control. However, the changes in the pH 6 control were much weaker and occurred 2.5 h later than in the pH-shift experiment. Thus, the reaction to the steep pH decrease was an immediate response within the normal repertoire of adaptation shown in later stages of fermentation at pH 6. Artificially preventing the yeast from acidifying the medium may be considered physiologically stressful under the tested conditions.

AbstractAbstract PDF
In order to understand the functional role of CPR1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae KNU5377 with regard to its multi-tolerance characteristics against high temperatures, inorganic acids, and oxidative stress conditions, whole cellular proteins were analyzed via liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS). This procedure was followed by two-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis. Under menadione stress conditions, the 23 upregulated proteins were clearly identified only in the wildtype strain of KNU5377. Among the proteins, Sod1p, Tsa1p, Ahp1, Cpr1p, Cpr3, Ssb2p, and Hsp12p were identified as components of antioxidant systems or protein-folding related systems. The CPR1 protein could not be completely detected in the cpr1Δ mutant of KNU5377 and the other upregulated proteins in the wild-type strain evidenced a clear correlation with the results of immunoblot analysis. Moreover, a reduction in growth patterns (about 50%) could be observed in the cpr1Δ mutant, as compared with that of the wild-type strain under mild MD stress conditions. These results indicate that the upregulation of CPR1 may contribute to tolerance against MD as an inducer of oxidative stress.

AbstractAbstract PDF
In this study, we attempted to characterize the physiological response to oxidative stress by heat shock in Saccharomyces cerevisiae KNU5377 (KNU5377) that ferments at a temperature of 40°C. The KNU5377 strain evidenced a very similar growth rate at 40°C as was recorded under normal conditions. Unlike the laboratory strains of S. cerevisiae, the cell viability of KNU5377 was affected slightly under 2 hours of heat stress conditions at 43°C. KNU5377 evidenced a time-dependent increase in hydroperoxide levels, carbonyl contents, and malondialdehyde (MDA), which increased in the expression of a variety of cell rescue proteins containing Hsp104p, Ssap, Hsp30p, Sod1p, catalase, glutathione reductase, G6PDH, thioredoxin, thioredoxin peroxidase (Tsa1p), Adhp, Aldp, trehalose and glycogen at high temperature. Pma1/2p, Hsp90p and H+-ATPase expression levels were reduced as the result of exposure to heat shock. With regard to cellular fatty acid composition, levels of unsaturated fatty acids (USFAs) were increased significantly at high temperatures (43°C), and this was particularly true of oleic acid (C18:1). The results of this study indicated that oxidative stress as the result of heat shock may induce a more profound stimulation of trehalose, antioxidant enzymes, and heat shock proteins, as well as an increase in the USFAs ratios. This might contribute to cellular protective functions for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis, and may also contribute to membrane fluidity.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Atmospheric-pressure cold plasma (APCP) using helium/oxygen was developed and tested as a suitable sterilization method in a clinical environment. The sterilizing effect of this method is not due to UV light, which is known to be the major sterilization factor of APCP, but instead results from the action of reactive oxygen radicals. Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae deposited on a nitrocellulose filter membrane or Bacillus subtilis spores deposited on polypropylene plates were exposed to helium/oxygen plasma generated with AC input power at 10 kHz, 6 kV. After plasma treatment, nitrocellulose filter membranes were overlaid on fresh solid media and CFUs were counted after incubation overnight. D-values were 18 sec for E. coli, 19 sec for S. aureus, 1 min 55 sec for S. cerevisiae, and 14 min for B. subtilis spores. D-values of bacteria and yeast were dependent on the initial inoculation concentration, while the D-value of B. subtilis spores showed no correlation. When treated cells were observed with a scanning electron microscope, E. coli was more heavily damaged than S. aureus, S. cerevisiae exhibited peeling, and B. subtilis spores exhibited shrunken morphology. Results showed that APCP using helium/oxygen has many advantages as a sterilization method, especially in a clinical environment with conditions such as stable temperature, unlimited sample size, and no harmful gas production.

AbstractAbstract PDF
The phosphorylation of C-terminal domain (CTD) of Rpb1p, the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II plays an important role in transcription and the coupling of various cellular events to transcription. In this study, its role in DNA damage response is closely examined in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, focusing specifically on several transcription factors that mediate or respond to the phosphorylation of the CTD. CTDK-1, the pol II CTD kinase, FCP1, the CTD phosphatase, ESS1, the CTD phosphorylation dependent cis-trans isomerase, and RSP5, the phosphorylation dependent pol II ubiquitinating enzyme, were chosen for the study. We determined that the CTD phosphorylation of CTD, which occurred predominantly at serine 2 within a heptapeptide repeat, was enhanced in response to a variety of sources of DNA damage. This modification was shown to be mediated by CTDK-1. Although mutations in ESS1 or FCP1 caused cells to become quite sensitive to DNA damage, the characteristic pattern of CTD phosphorylation remained unaltered, thereby implying that ESS1 and FCP1 play roles downstream of CTD phosphorylation in response to DNA damage. Our data suggest that the location or extent of CTD phosphorylation might be altered in response to DNA damage, and that the modified CTD, ESS1, and FCP1 all contribute to cellular survival in such conditions.

AbstractAbstract PDF
In contrast to Saccharomyces cerevisiae, little is known about the kinesin-like protein (KLP) in Candida albicans. The motor domain of kinesin, or KLP, contains a subregion, which is well conserved from yeast to humans. A similarity search, with the murine ubiquitous kinesin heavy chain region as a query, revealed 6 contigs that contain putative KLPs in the genome of C. albicans. Of these, the length of an open reading (ORF) of 375 amino acids, temporarily designated CaKAR3, was noticeably short compared with the closely related S. cerevisiae KAR3 (ScKAR3) of 729 amino acids. This finding prompted us to isolate a [lambda] genomic clone containing the complete CaKAR3 ORF, and here the complete sequence of CaKAR3 is reported. CaKAR3 is a C-terminus motor protein, of 687 amino acids, encoded by a non-disrupting gene. When compared with ScKAR3, the amino terminal region of 112 amino acids was unique, with the middle part of the 306 amino acids exhibiting 25% identity and 44% similarity, while the remaining C-terminal motor domain exhibited 64% identity and 78% similarity, and have been submitted to GeneBank under the accession number AY182242.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Heat-labile enterotoxin B subunit (LTB) of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is both a strong mucosal adjuvant and immunogen. It is a subunit vaccine candidate to be used against ETEC-induced diarrhea. It has already been expressed in several bacterial and plant systems. In order to construct yeast expressing vector for the LTB protein, the eltB gene encoding LTB was amplified from a human origin enterotoxigenic E. coli DNA by PCR. The expression plasmid pLTB83 was constructed by inserting the eltB gene into the pYES2 shuttle vector immediately downstream of the GAL1 promoter. The recombinant vector was transformed into S. cerevisiae and was then induced by galactose. The LTB protein was detected in the total soluble protein of the yeast by SDS-PAGE analysis. Quantitative ELISA showed that the maximum amount of LTB protein expressed in the yeast was approximately 1.9% of the total soluble protein. Immunoblotting analysis showed the yeast-derived LTB protein was antigenically indistinguishable from bacterial LTB protein. Since the whole-recombinant yeast has been introduced as a new vaccine formulation the expression of LTB in S. cerevisiae can offer an inexpensive yet effective strategy to protect against ETEC, especially in developing countries where it is needed most.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Autonomous ultradian metabolic oscillation (T~=50 min) was detected in an aerobic chemostat culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A pulse injection of GSH (a reduced form of glutathione) into the culture induced a perturbation in metabolic oscillation, with respiratory inhibition caused by H_2S burst production. As the production of H_2S in the culture was controlled by different amino acids, we attempted to characterize the effects of GSH on amino acid metabolism, particularly with regard to branched chain and sulfur-containing amino acids. During stable metabolic oscillation, concentrations of intracellular glutamate, aspartate, threonine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, and cysteine were observed to oscillate with the same periods of dissolved O_2 oscillation, although the oscillation amplitudes and maximal phases were shown to differ. The methionine concentration was stably maintained at 0.05 mM. When GSH (100 uM) was injected into the culture, cellular levels of branched chain amino acids increased dramatically with continuous H_2S production, whereas the cysteine and methionine concentrations were noticeably reduced. These results indicate that GSH-dependent perturbation occurs as the result of the promotion of branched chain amino acid synthesis and an attenuation of cysteine and methionine synthesis, both of which activate the generation of H_2S. In a low sulfate medium containing 2.5 mM sulfate, the GSH injections did not result in perturbations of dissolved O_2, NAD(P)H redox oscillations without burst H_2S production. This suggests that GSH-dependent perturbation is intimately linked with the metabolism of branched-chain amino acids and H_2S generation, rather than with direct GSH-GSSG redox control.

AbstractAbstract PDF
In order to identify the protein(s) secreted into culture medium by the soo1-1/ret1-1 mutation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, proteins from the culture medium of cells grown at permissive (28^oC) and non-permissive temperatures (37^oC), were analyzed. Comparison of protein bands separated by SDS-PAGE identified a prominent band of 47-kDa band from a mutant grown at 37^oC. N-terminal amino acid sequencing of this 47-kDa protein showed high identity with enolases 1 and 2. Western blot analysis revealed that most of the cell wall-bound enolase was released into the culture medium of the mutant grown at 37^oC, some of which were separated as those with lower molecular weights. Our results, presented here, indicate the impairment of cell wall enolase biogenesis and assembly by the soo1-1/ret1-1 mutation of S. cerevisiae.

AbstractAbstract PDF
The influence of feedstock amino acids, salt, carbon and nitrogen sources on glutathione production by Saccharomyces cerevisiae FF-8 was investigated. Glucose, yeast extract, KH_2PO_4, and L-cysteine were found to be suitable feedstock. Highest glutathione production was obtained after cultivation with shaking for 72 h in a medium containing glucose 3.0% (w/v), yeast extract 3.0%, KH_2PO_4 0.06% and L-cysteine 0.06%. The glutathione concentration achieved using this medium increased 2.27-fold to 204 mg/l compared to YM basal medium.

AbstractAbstract PDF
The SRL4 (YPL033C) gene was initially identified by the screening of Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes that play a role in DNA metabolism and/or genome stability using the SOS system of Escherichia coli. In this study, we found that the srl4Δ; mutant cells were resistant to the chemicals that inhibit nucleotide metabolism and evidenced higher dNTP levels than were observed in the wild-type cells in the presence of hydroxyurea. The mutant cells also showed a significantly faster growth rate and higher dNTP levels at low temperature (16 oC) than were observed in the wild-type cells, whereas we detected no differences in the growth rate at 30oC. Furthermore, srl4Δ was shown to suppress the lethality of mutations of the essential S phase checkpoint genes, RAD53 and LCD1. These results indicate that SRL4 may be involved in the regulation of dNTP production by its function as a negative regulator of ribonucleotide reductase.

AbstractAbstract PDF
We have previously reported that SPP2 gene product of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is involved in the pre-mRNA splicing. To investigate the rol ein the splicing pathway of the Spp2p protein, the SPP2 gene was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and polyclonal antibodies to Spp2p were generated from rabbits. First, a DNA fragment containing the SPP2 GENE without its promoter was subcloned into an E. coli expression vector, pKK233-3. The resulting recombinant plasmid pBQ14 contained an IPTG inducible tac promoter and the SPP2 structural gene. Overexpression of the SPP2 gene was achieved by additionof 0.1 to 1.0 mM IPTG to a logarithmic culture of E. coli JM103(pBQ14) for 90 min at 37℃. Sequence of N-terminal 15 amino acids of the overproduced protein was well matched to the deduced one from the SPP2 reading frame. Then, polyclonal antibodies were generated from rabbits immunized with gel-purified Spp2p protein. These antibodies reacted specifically with the Spp2p protein extracted from yeast cells expressing the SPP2 gene to a great extent. The antibodies could also block the activity of yeast splicing extracts.

AbstractAbstract PDF
The interrelationship of expression of the two adjacent genes, HSP82 and CIN2 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was investigated. The two genes are very close each other, such that the poly(A) addition site of the HSP82 gene is likely to be immediately followed by the promoter region of the CIN2 gene. Thus, transcription of the upstream HSP82 gene might affect expression of the CIN2 gene via promoter occlusion. Based on HSP82 and CIN2 mRNA analysis of the wild type, disruption mutant of the HAP82 gene, and conditional RNA polymerase II mutant strains, I conclude that CIN2 transcription is not affected by HSP82 transcription. However, surprisingly the level of CIN2 gene transcripts, but not HSP82, is heightened by cycloheximide treatment, presumably due to an increase in its stability. No change is observed in kinetics of HSP82 RNA induction by cycloheximide treatment.

AbstractAbstract PDF
We have examined the re-establishment of HIMRE mediated silencing function on the transcriptional activity of yeast heat shock gene HSP82. To test whether the onset of SIR repression can occur in growing cells in the presence of a potent inhibitor of DNA replication, HMRa/HSP82 strains with SIR4^- and SIR4S^+ genetic backgrounds were arrested in S phase by incubation of a culture in 200 mM hydroxyurea for 120 min. It was clear that following a 20 minute heat shock, silencing of the HMRa/HSP82 allele in cells pretreated with hydroxyurea does occur in a SIR4-dependen fashion, even though the kinetics of repression appears to be substantially delayed. We also have tested whether re- establishment of silencing at the HMR/hsp82 locus can occur in G1-arrested cells. Cell cycle arrest at G1 phase was achieved by treatment of early log a cell cultures with α-factor mating pheromone, which induces G1 arrest. The result suggests that passage through S phase (and therefore DNA replication) is nor required for re-establishing silencer-mediated repression at the HMNRa/HSP82 locus. Finally, to test whether de novo protein synthesis is required for re-establishment of silencer-mediated repression, cells were pretreated with cycloheximide (500 ㎍/㎖) 120 min. It was apparent that inhibiting protein synthesis delays, but does not prevent, re-establishment of silencer-mediated repression. Altogether, these results indicate that re-establishment of silencer-mediated repression is not dependent on the DNA replication and has no requirement for protein synthesis.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Taking advantage of the heat inducible HSP82 gene in yeast, chromatin structure after transcription cessation was investigated. Alteration of chromating conformation within the HSP82 gene transcription unit into an active state has been shown to correlate with its transcriptional induction. It was thus of interest to examine whether the active chromatin state within the HSP82 mRNA analysis, the gene ceased its transcription within a few hours of cultivation at a normal condition after heat induction. In this condition, an active chromatin conformation in the HSP82 gene body was changed into an inactive state which was revealed by DNase I resistance and by typical nucleosomal cutting periodicity in the corresponding chromatin. These results thus ruled out the possibility of a long-term maintenance of the DNase I sensitive chromatin after transcription cessation. DNA replication may be a critical event for the chromatin reprogramming.

AbstractAbstract PDF
cdc103^+ gene in Schizosaccharomyces pombe which is similar to the CDC3 gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was cloned and sequenced. Comparison of the predicted amino acid sequences of cdc103^+ and CDC3 revealed that they share significant similarity (43% identity and 56% identity or similarity) to each other. The gene product of CDC3 S. cerevisiae is known to be a highly ordered ring of filaments that lies just inside the cytoplasmic membrane in the region of the mother-bud neck. In order to characterize the gene product of cdc103^+ in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, fusion proteins were used to generate the polyclonal antibodies specific for the gene product (cdc103p). In immunofluorescence experiments, these antibodies decorate the region of the septum formation as a double ring structure late in the cell division cycle.

AbstractAbstract PDF
The ROK1 gene encodes a putative ATP-dependent RNA helicase which is essential for mitotic cell growth. ROK1 has been thought to affect microtubule and spindle pole body (SPB) functions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. To investigate the intracellular functions of ROK1, we varied the Rok1 protein dosage in a cell and analyzed its phenotypic effects. Overexpression of the ROK1 gene by using a strong GAL1 promoter was lethal, leading cells to arrest at the unbudded stage. This arrest phenotype is very similar to that of the rok1 null mutation. Indirect immunofluorescence revealed that the majority of arrested cells contained a single SPB. Normas development of microtubules between the duplicated SPSs was rarely observed. Multinuclear cells with abnormal microtubule array were detected in small fraction. Taken together with the phenotype of the rlk1 null mutation, these results imply that ROK1 is required for cell cycle progression at the G1/S stage.

AbstractAbstract PDF
We have analyzed the MRE3/REC114 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, previously detected in isolation of mutants defective in meiotic recombination. We cloned the MRE3/REC114 gene by complementation of the meiotic recombination defect and it has been mapped to chormosome XIII. The DNA sequence analysis revealed that the MRE3 gene is identical to the REC114 gene. The upstream region of the MRE3/REC114 gene contains a T_4C site, a URS (upstream repression sequence) and a TR (T-rich) box-like sequence, which reside upstream of many meiotic genes. Coincidentally, northern blot analysis indicated that the three sizes of MRE3/REC114 transcripts, 3.4, 1.4 and 1.2 kb, are induced in meiosis. A less abundant transcript of 1.4 kb is detected in both mitotic and meiotic cells, suggesting that it is needed in mitosis as well as meiosis. To examine the role of the MRE3/REC114 gene, we constructed mre3 disruption mutants. Strains carrying an insertion or null deletion of the MRE3/REC114 gene showed slow growth in nutrient medium and the doubing time of these cells increased approximately by 2-fond compared to the wild-type strain. Moreover, the deletion mutant (delta-mre3) displayed no meiotically induced recombination and no viable spores. The mre3/rec114 spore lethality can be suppressed by spo13, a mutation that causes cells to bypass reductional division. The double-stranded breaks (DSBs) which are involved in initiation of meiotic recombination were not detected in the analysis of meiotic chromosomal DNA from the mre3/rec114 disruptant. From these results we suggest that the MRE3/REC114 gene product is essential in nomal growth and in early meiotic stages involved in meiotic recombination.

AbstractAbstract PDF
In liquid cultures using sucrose media, the coculture of Monascus with recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae expressing the glucoamylase gene from Aspergillus niger enhanced red pigment production by approx. 19%, compared with the coculture of wild type S. cerevisiae. Coculture with recombinant S. cerevisiae was more effective than with wild type S. cerevisiae for Monascus red pigment production. Cocultures of Monascus with commercial amylases of Aspergillus also induced high production of pigment and morphological changes in a solid culture using sucrose media.

AbstractAbstract PDF
A genomic DNA library of the fungus Trametes versicolor was constructed in a yeast integration vector which contains the URA3 gene of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the gene responsible for hygromycin B resistance, and fragments acting as autonomously replicating sequences (ARSes) in the budding yeast were identified from the genomic DNA library. Sixteen recombinant plasmids from the library transformed the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to Ura^+ at high frequencies. They were maintained stably under selective conditions, but were gradually lost from yeast cells at different rates under nonselective conditions, indicating that they contain eukaryotic origins of DNA replication and exist as extrachromosomal plasmids. Base sequences of four ARS DNAs among the 16 cloned fragments revealed that all of the four contain at least one 11 bp [(A/T)TTTA(T/C)(A/G)TTT(A/T)] consensus sequence of the budding yeast ARS.
