Disruption of PGS1, which encodes the enzyme that catalyzes the committed step of cardiolipin (CL) synthesis, results in loss of the mitochondrial anionic phospholipids phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and CL. The pgs1Delta mutant exhibits severe growth defects at 37 degrees C. To understand the essential functions of mitochondrial anionic lipids at elevated temperatures, we isolated suppressors of pgs1Delta that grew at 37 degrees C. One of the suppressors has a loss of function mutation in KRE5, which is involved in cell wall biogenesis. The cell wall of pgs1Delta contained markedly reduced beta-1,3-glucan, which was restored in the suppressor. Stabilization of the cell wall with osmotic support alleviated the cell wall defects of pgs1Delta and suppressed the temperature sensitivity of all CL-deficient mutants. Evidence is presented suggesting that the previously reported inability of pgs1Delta to grow in the presence of ethidium bromide was due to defective cell wall integrity, not from "petite lethality." These findings demonstrated that mitochondrial anionic lipids are required for cellular functions that are essential in cell wall biogenesis, the maintenance of cell integrity, and survival at elevated temperature. 相似文献

We have shown in previous research that the loss of phosphatidylglycerol and cardiolipin caused by disruption of the PGS1 gene is lethal for the petite-negative yeast Kluyveromyces lactis . This present study demonstrates the role and mechanism of atp2.1 in the suppression of pgs1 lethality in K. lactis cells. Phenotypic characterization has shown that a strain lacking the phosphatidylglycerolphosphate synthase (atp2.1pgs1Δ) possessed a markedly impaired respiratory chain, very low endogenous respiration, and uncoupled mitochondria. As a result the mutant strain was unable to generate a sufficient mitochondrial membrane potential via respiration. The atp2.1 suppressor mutation enabled an increase in the affinity of F(1)-ATPase for ATP in the hydrolytic reaction, resulting in the maintenance of sufficient membrane potential for the biogenesis of mitochondria and survival of cells lacking anionic phospholipid biosynthesis. 相似文献

Inositolsphingolipid phospholipase C (Isc1p) is the Saccharomyces cerevisiae member of the extended family of neutral sphingomyelinases that regulates the generation of bioactive ceramides. Recently, we reported that Isc1p is post-translationally activated in the post-diauxic phase of growth and that it localizes to mitochondria (Vaena de Avalos, S., Okamoto, Y., and Hannun, Y. A. (2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 11537-11545). In this study the in vivo mechanisms of activation and function of Isc1p were investigated. Deletion of ISC1 resulted in markedly lower growth in non-fermentable carbon sources. Interestingly, the growth defect of isc1Delta strains resembled that of pgs1Delta strains, lacking the committed step in the synthesis of phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and cardiolipin (CL), which were shown to activate Isc1p in vitro. Therefore, the role of Pgs1p in activation of Isc1p in vivo was investigated. The results showed that in the pgs1Delta strain, the growth-dependent activation of Isc1p was impaired as was the ISC1-dependent increase in the levels of phytoceramide during the post-diauxic phase, demonstrating that the activation of Isc1p in vivo is dependent on PGS1 and on the mitochondrial phospholipids PG/CL. Mechanistically, loss of Isc1p resulted in lower levels of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunits cox3p and cox4p, previously established targets of both PG and CL (Ostrander, D. B., Zhang, M., Mileykovskaya, E., Rho, M., and Dowhan, W. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 25262-25272), thus suggesting that Isc1p mediates at least some functions downstream of PG/CL. This study provides the first evidence for the mechanism of in vivo activation and function of Isc1p. A model with endogenous PG/CL as the in vivo activator of Isc1p is proposed. 相似文献

We have previously shown that mutants in the cardiolipin (CL) pathway exhibit temperature-sensitive growth defects that are not associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. The pgs1Delta mutant, lacking the first enzyme of the CL pathway, phosphatidylglycerolphosphate synthase (Pgs1p), has a defective cell wall due to decreased beta-1,3-glucan (Zhong, Q., Gvozdenovic-Jeremic, J., Webster, P., Zhou, J., and Greenberg, M. L. (2005) Mol. Biol. Cell 16, 665-675). Disruption of KRE5, a gene involved in cell wall biogenesis, restores beta-1,3-glucan synthesis and suppresses pgs1Delta temperature sensitivity. To gain insight into the mechanisms underlying the cell wall defect in pgs1Delta, we show in the current report that pgs1Delta cells have reduced glucan synthase activity and diminished levels of Fks1p, the glucan synthase catalytic subunit. In addition, activation of Slt2p, the downstream effector of the protein kinase C (PKC)-activated cell integrity pathway, was defective in pgs1Delta. The kre5W1166X suppressor restored Slt2p activation and dramatically increased (>10-fold) mRNA levels of FKS2, the alternate catalytic subunit of glucan synthase, partially restoring glucan synthase activity. Consistent with these results, up-regulation of PKC-Slt2 signaling and overexpression of FKS1 or FKS2 alleviated sensitivity of pgs1Delta to cell wall-perturbing agents and restored growth at elevated temperature. These findings demonstrate that functional Pgs1p is essential for cell wall biogenesis and activation of the PKC-Slt2 signaling pathway. 相似文献

The mitochondrial phospholipid cardiolipin is synthesized from cytidinediphosphate-diacylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol, a process catalyzed by the enzyme cardiolipin synthase. In this study, we identified a human candidate gene/cDNA for cardiolipin synthase, C20orf155. Expression of this candidate cDNA in the (cardiolipin synthase-deficient) crd1Delta yeast confirmed that it indeed encodes human cardiolipin synthase. Purified mitochondria of the crd1Delta expressing human cardiolipin synthase were used to characterize the enzyme. It has an alkaline pH optimum, requires divalent cations for activity and appears to have a different substrate preference for cytidinediphosphate-diacylglycerol species when compared to phosphatidylglycerol species. The possible implications for CL synthesis and remodeling are discussed. 相似文献

Dramatically elevated levels of the COX2 mitochondrial mRNA-specific translational activator protein Pet111p interfere with respiratory growth and cytochrome c oxidase accumulation. The respiratory phenotype appears to be caused primarily by inhibition of the COX1 mitochondrial mRNA translation, a finding confirmed by lack of cox1Delta::ARG8(m) reporter mRNA translation. Interference with Cox1p synthesis depends to a limited extent upon increased translation of the COX2 mRNA, but is largely independent of it. Respiratory growth is partially restored by a chimeric COX1 mRNA bearing the untranslated regions of the COX2 mRNA, and by overproduction of the COX1 mRNA-specific activators, Pet309p and Mss51p. These results suggest that excess Pet111p interacts unproductively with factors required for normal COX1 mRNA translation. Certain missense mutations in PET111 alleviate the interference with COX1 mRNA translation but do not completely restore normal respiratory growth in strains overproducing Pet111p, suggesting that elevated Pet111p also perturbs assembly of newly synthesized subunits into active cytochrome c oxidase. Thus, this severe imbalance in translational activator levels appears to cause multiple problems in mitochondrial gene expression, reflecting the dual role of balanced translational activators in cooperatively regulating both the levels and locations of organellar translation. 相似文献

The mitochondrial glycerophospholipid cardiolipin plays important roles in mitochondrial biology. Most notably, cardiolipin directly binds to mitochondrial proteins and helps assemble and stabilize mitochondrial multi-protein complexes. Despite their importance for mitochondrial health, how the proteins involved in cardiolipin biosynthesis are organized and embedded in mitochondrial membranes has not been investigated in detail. Here we show that human PGS1 and CLS1 are constituents of large protein complexes. We show that PGS1 forms oligomers and associates with CLS1 and PTPMT1. Using super-resolution microscopy, we observed well-organized nanoscale structures formed by PGS1. Together with the observation that cardiolipin and CLS1 are not required for PGS1 to assemble in the complex we predict the presence of a PGS1-centered cardiolipin-synthesizing scaffold within the mitochondrial inner membrane. Using an unbiased proteomic approach we found that PGS1 and CLS1 interact with multiple cardiolipin-binding mitochondrial membrane proteins, including prohibitins, stomatin-like protein 2 and the MICOS components MIC60 and MIC19. We further mapped the protein-protein interaction sites between PGS1 and itself, CLS1, MIC60 and PHB. Overall, this study provides evidence for the presence of a cardiolipin synthesis structure that transiently interacts with cardiolipin-dependent protein complexes. 相似文献

Nuclear mutations that inactivate the Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene PET127 dramatically increased the levels of mutant COX3 and COX2 mitochondrial mRNAs that were destabilized by mutations in their 5' untranslated leaders. The stabilizing effect of pet127 delta mutations occurred both in the presence and in the absence of translation. In addition, pet127 delta mutations had pleiotropic effects on the stability and 5' end processing of some wild-type mRNAs and the 15S rRNA but produced only a leaky nonrespiratory phenotype at 37 degrees C. Overexpression of PET127 completely blocked respiratory growth and caused cells to lose wild-type mitochondrial DNA, suggesting that too much Pet127p prevents mitochondrial gene expression. Epitope-tagged Pet127p was specifically located in mitochondria and associated with membranes. These findings suggest that Pet127p plays a role in RNA surveillance and/or RNA processing and that these functions may be membrane bound in yeast mitochondria. 相似文献

We report the molecular cloning, sequencing and genetic characterization of the first gene encoding an organellar polypeptide chain release factor, the MRF1 gene of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The MRF1 gene was cloned by genetic complementation of a respiratory deficient mutant disturbed in the expression of the mitochondrial genes encoding cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 and 2, COX1 and COX2. For COX1 this defect has been attributed to an impaired processing of several introns. Sequence analysis of the MRF1 gene revealed that it encodes a protein highly similar to prokaryotic peptide chain release factors, especially RF-1. Disruption of the gene results in a high instability of the mitochondrial genome, a hallmark for a strict lesion in mitochondrial protein synthesis. The respiratory negative phenotype of mrf1 mutants lacking all known mitochondrial introns and the reduced synthesis of mitochondrial translation products encoded by unsplit genes confirm a primary defect in mitochondrial protein synthesis. Over-expression of the MRF1 gene in a mitochondrial nonsense suppressor strain reduces suppression in a dosage-dependent manner, shedding new light on the role of the '530 region' of 16S-like ribosomal RNA in translational fidelity. 相似文献

Rsm28p is a dispensable component of the mitochondrial ribosomal small subunit in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that is not related to known proteins found in bacteria. It was identified as a dominant suppressor of certain mitochondrial mutations that reduced translation of the COX2 mRNA. To explore further the function of Rsm28p, we isolated mutations in other genes that caused a synthetic respiratory defective phenotype together with rsm28Delta. These mutations identified three nuclear genes: IFM1, which encodes the mitochondrial translation initiation factor 2 (IF2); FMT1, which encodes the methionyl-tRNA-formyltransferase; and RMD9, a gene of unknown function. The observed genetic interactions strongly suggest that the ribosomal protein Rsm28p and Ifm1p (IF2) have similar and partially overlapping functions in yeast mitochondrial translation initiation. Rmd9p, bearing a TAP-tag, was localized to mitochondria and exhibited roughly equal distribution in soluble and membrane-bound fractions. A small fraction of the Rmd9-TAP sedimented together with presumed monosomes, but not with either individual ribosomal subunit. Thus, Rmd9 is not a ribosomal protein, but may be a novel factor associated with initiating monosomes. The poorly respiring rsm28Delta, rmd9-V363I double mutant did not have a strong translation-defective phenotype, suggesting that Rmd9p may function upstream of translation initiation, perhaps at the level of localization of mitochondrially coded mRNAs. 相似文献

Mutations affecting the RNA sequence of the first 10 codons of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondrial gene COX2 strongly reduce translation of the mRNA, which encodes the precursor of cytochrome c oxidase subunit II. A dominant chromosomal mutation that suppresses these defects is an internal in-frame deletion of 67 codons from the gene YDR494w. Wild-type YDR494w encodes a 361-residue polypeptide with no similarity to proteins of known function. The epitope-tagged product of this gene, now named RSM28, is both peripherally associated with the inner surface of the inner mitochondrial membrane and soluble in the matrix. Epitope-tagged Rsm28p from Triton X-100-solubilized mitochondria sedimented with the small subunit of mitochondrial ribosomes in a sucrose gradient containing 500 mM NH4Cl. Complete deletion of RSM28 caused only a modest decrease in growth on nonfermentable carbon sources in otherwise wild-type strains and enhanced the respiratory defect of the suppressible cox2 mutations. The rsm28 null mutation also reduced translation of an ARG8m reporter sequence inserted at the COX1, COX2, and COX3 mitochondrial loci. We tested the ability of RSM28-1 to suppress a variety of cox2 and cox3 mutations and found that initiation codon mutations in both genes were suppressed. We conclude that Rsm28p is a dispensable small-subunit mitochondrial ribosomal protein previously undetected in systematic investigations of these ribosomes, with a positive role in translation of several mitochondrial mRNAs. 相似文献

Studies on amyloid beta (Aβ|), the peptide thought to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, have implicated mitochondria in Aβ-mediated neurotoxicity. We used differentiated PC12 cells stably transfected with an inducible green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusion protein containing an N'-terminal mitochondrial targeting sequence (mtGFP), to examine the effects of sub-lethal Aβ on the import of nuclear-encoded proteins to mitochondria. Exposure to sub-lethal Aβ25–35 (10 μmol/L) for 48 h inhibited mtGFP import to mitochondria; average rates decreased by 20 ± 4%. Concomitant with the decline in mtGFP, cytoplasmic mtGFP increased significantly while mtGFP expression and intramitochondrial mtGFP turnover were unchanged. Sub-lethal Aβ1–42 inhibited mtGFP import and increased cytoplasmic mtGFP but only after 96 h. The import of two endogenous nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins, mortalin/mtHsp70 and Tom20 also declined. Prior to the decline in import, mitochondrial membrane potential (mmp), and reactive oxygen species levels were unchanged in Aβ-treated cells versus reverse phase controls. Sustained periods of decreased import were associated with decreased mmp, increased reactive oxygen species, increased vulnerability to oxygen-glucose deprivation and altered mitochondrial morphology. These findings suggest that an Aβ-mediated inhibition of mitochondrial protein import, and the consequent mitochondrial impairment, may contribute to Alzheimer's disease. 相似文献

CPT (carnitine palmitoyltransferase) 1 and CPT2 regulate fatty acid oxidation. Recombinant rat CPT2 was isolated from the soluble fractions of bacterial extracts and expressed in Escherichia coli. The acyl-CoA chain-length-specificity of the recombinant CPT2 was identical with that of the purified enzyme from rat liver mitochondrial inner membranes. The Km for carnitine for both the mitochondrial preparation and the recombinant enzyme was identical. In isolated mitochondrial outer membranes, cardiolipin (diphosphatidylglycerol) increased CPT1 activity 4-fold and the Km for carnitine 6-fold. It decreased the Ki for malonyl-CoA inhibition 60-fold, but had no effect on the apparent Km for myristoyl-CoA. Cardiolipin also activated recombinant CPT2 almost 4-fold, whereas phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylcholine activated the enzyme 3-, 2- and 2-fold respectively. Most of the recombinant CPT2 was found to have substantial interaction with cardiolipin. A model is proposed whereby cardiolipin may hold the fatty-acid-oxidizing enzymes in the active functional conformation between the mitochondrial inner and outer membranes in conjunction with the translocase and the acyl-CoA synthetase, thus combining all four enzymes into a functional unit. 相似文献

In eukaryotic cells, the phospholipid cardiolipin (CL) is primarily found in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants, unable to synthesize CL because of a null allele of the CRD1 gene (encodes CL synthase), have been reported with different phenotypes. Some mutants, when grown on a nonfermentable carbon source at elevated temperatures, exhibit mitochondrial DNA instability, loss of viability, and significant defects in several functions that rely on the mitochondrial energy transducing system (ETS). These mutants also lack the immediate precursor to CL, phosphatidylglycerol (PG), when grown on glucose as a carbon source. Other mutants show reduced growth efficiency on a nonfermentable carbon source but much milder phenotypes associated with growth at elevated temperatures and increased levels of PG when grown on glucose. We present evidence that mitochondrial DNA instability, loss of viability, and defects in the ETS exhibited at elevated temperatures by some mutants are caused by the reduced expression of the PET56 gene in the presence of the his3 Delta 200 allele and not the lack of CL alone. We also found that PG is present and elevated in all crd1 Delta strains when grown on glucose. A supermolecular complex between complex III and complex IV of the mitochondrial ETS detected in wild type cells was missing in all of the above crd1 Delta cells. The level of components of the ETS was also reduced in crd1 Delta cells grown at elevated temperatures because of reduced gene expression and not reduced stability. These results suggest that all phenotypes reported for cells carrying the his3 Delta 200 allele and lacking CL should be re-evaluated. 相似文献
