In this investigation, we examined the effects of different unsaturated fatty acid compositions of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on the growth-inhibiting effects of ethanol. The unsaturated fatty acid (UFA) composition of S. cerevisiae is relatively simple, consisting almost exclusively of the mono-UFAs palmitoleic acid (Δ9Z-C16:1) and oleic acid (Δ9Z-C18:1), with the former predominating. Both UFAs are formed in S. cerevisiae by the oxygen- and NADH-dependent desaturation of palmitic acid (C16:0) and stearic acid (C18:0), respectively, catalyzed by a single integral membrane desaturase encoded by the OLE1 gene. We systematically altered the UFA composition of yeast cells in a uniform genetic background (i) by genetic complementation of a desaturase-deficient ole1 knockout strain with cDNA expression constructs encoding insect desaturases with distinct regioselectivities (i.e., Δ9 and Δ11) and substrate chain-length preferences (i.e., C16:0 and C18:0); and, (ii) by supplementation of the same strain with synthetic mono-UFAs. Both experimental approaches demonstrated that oleic acid is the most efficacious UFA in overcoming the toxic effects of ethanol in growing yeast cells. Furthermore, the only other UFA tested that conferred a nominal degree of ethanol tolerance is cis-vaccenic acid (Δ11Z-C18:1), whereas neither Δ11Z-C16:1 nor palmitoleic acid (Δ9Z-C16:1) conferred any ethanol tolerance. We also showed that the most ethanol-tolerant transformant, which expresses the insect desaturase TniNPVE, produces twice as much oleic acid as palmitoleic acid in the absence of ethanol and undergoes a fourfold increase in the ratio of oleic acid to palmitoleic acid in response to exposure to 5% ethanol. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that ethanol tolerance in yeast results from incorporation of oleic acid into lipid membranes, effecting a compensatory decrease in membrane fluidity that counteracts the fluidizing effects of ethanol. 相似文献

Ethanol stimulated the leakage of amino acids and 260-nm-light-absorbing compounds from cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The efflux followed first-order kinetics over an initial period. In the presence of lethal concentrations of ethanol, the efflux rates at 30 and 36°C were an exponential function of ethanol concentration: keX = keXmeE (X-Xm), where keX and keXm are the efflux rate constants, respectively, in the presence of a concentration X of ethanol or the minimal concentration of ethanol, Xm, above which the equation was applicable, coincident with the minimal lethal concentration of ethanol. E is the enhancement constant. At 36°C, as compared with the corresponding values at 30°C, the efflux rates were higher and the minimal concentration of ethanol (Xm) was lower. The exponential constants for the enhancement of the rate of leakage (E) had similar values at 30 or 36°C and were of the same order of magnitude as the corresponding exponential constants for ethanol-induced death. Under isothermic conditions (30°C) and up to 22% (vol/vol) ethanol, the resistance to ethanol-induced leakage of 260-nm-light-absorbing compounds was found to be closely related with the ethanol tolerance of three strains of yeasts, Kluyveromyces marxianus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Saccharomyces bayanus. The resistance to ethanol-induced leakage indicates the possible adoption of the present method for the rapid screening of ethanol-tolerant strains. The addition to a fermentation medium of the intracellular material obtained by ethanol permeabilization of yeast cells led to improvements in alcohol fermentation by S. cerevisiae and S. bayanus. The action of the intracellular material, by improving yeast ethanol tolerance, and the advantages of partially recycling the fermented medium after distillation were discussed. 相似文献

Saccharomyces cerevisiae sake yeast strain Kyokai no. 7 has one of the highest fermentation rates among brewery yeasts used worldwide; therefore, it is assumed that it is not possible to enhance its fermentation rate. However, in this study, we found that fermentation by sake yeast can be enhanced by inhibiting mitophagy. We observed mitophagy in wild-type sake yeast during the brewing of Ginjo sake, but not when the mitophagy gene (ATG32) was disrupted. During sake brewing, the maximum rate of CO2 production and final ethanol concentration generated by the atg32Δ laboratory yeast mutant were 7.50% and 2.12% higher than those of the parent strain, respectively. This mutant exhibited an improved fermentation profile when cultured under limiting nutrient concentrations such as those used during Ginjo sake brewing as well as in minimal synthetic medium. The mutant produced ethanol at a concentration that was 2.76% higher than the parent strain, which has significant implications for industrial bioethanol production. The ethanol yield of the atg32Δ mutant was increased, and its biomass yield was decreased relative to the parent sake yeast strain, indicating that the atg32Δ mutant has acquired a high fermentation capability at the cost of decreasing biomass. Because natural biomass resources often lack sufficient nutrient levels for optimal fermentation, mitophagy may serve as an important target for improving the fermentative capacity of brewery yeasts. 相似文献

Lipid particles of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae were isolated at high purity, and their proteins were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Major lipid particle proteins were identified by mass spectrometric analysis, and the corresponding open reading frames (ORFs) were deduced. In silicio analysis revealed that all lipid particle proteins contain several hydrophobic domains but none or only few (hypothetical) transmembrane spanning regions. All lipid particle proteins identified by function so far, such as Erg1p, Erg6p, and Erg7p (ergosterol biosynthesis) and Faa1p, Faa4p, and Fat1p (fatty acid metabolism), are involved in lipid metabolism. Based on sequence homology, another group of three lipid particle proteins may be involved in lipid degradation. To examine whether lipid particle proteins of unknown function are also involved in lipid synthesis, mutants with deletions of the respective ORFs were constructed and subjected to systematic lipid analysis. Deletion of YDL193w resulted in a lethal phenotype which could not be suppressed by supplementation with ergosterol or fatty acids. Other deletion mutants were viable under standard conditions. Strains with YBR177c, YMR313c, and YKL140w deleted exhibited phospholipid and/or neutral lipid patterns that were different from the wild-type strain and thus may be further candidate ORFs involved in yeast lipid metabolism. 相似文献

Lipid droplets are ubiquitous cellular structures involved in energy homeostasis and metabolism that have long been considered as simple inert deposits of lipid. Here, we show that lipid droplets are bona fide organelles that are actively partitioned between mother cell and daughter cell in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Video microscopy revealed that a subset of lipid droplets moves from mother cell to bud in an ordered, vectorial process, while the remaining lipid droplets are retained by the mother cell. Bud‐directed movement of lipid droplets is mediated by the molecular motor Myo2p, while retention of lipid droplets occurs at the perinuclear endoplasmic reticulum. Lipid droplets are thus apportioned between mother cell and daughter cell at cell division rather than being made anew. 相似文献

Sporulation of the baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a response to nutrient depletion that allows a single diploid cell to give rise to four stress-resistant haploid spores. The formation of these spores requires a coordinated reorganization of cellular architecture. The construction of the spores can be broadly divided into two phases. The first is the generation of new membrane compartments within the cell cytoplasm that ultimately give rise to the spore plasma membranes. Proper assembly and growth of these membranes require modification of aspects of the constitutive secretory pathway and cytoskeleton by sporulation-specific functions. In the second phase, each immature spore becomes surrounded by a multilaminar spore wall that provides resistance to environmental stresses. This review focuses on our current understanding of the cellular rearrangements and the genes required in each of these phases to give rise to a wild-type spore. 相似文献

Squalene belongs to the group of isoprenoids and is a precursor for the synthesis of sterols, steroids, and ubiquinons. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the amount of squalene can be increased by variation of growth conditions or by genetic manipulation. In this report, we show that a hem1Δ mutant accumulated a large amount of squalene, which was stored almost exclusively in cytoplasmic lipid particles/droplets. Interestingly, a strain bearing a hem1Δ deletion in a dga1Δlro1Δare1Δare2Δ quadruple mutant background (QMhem1Δ), which is devoid of the classical storage lipids, triacylglycerols and steryl esters, and lacks lipid particles, accumulated squalene at similar amounts as the hem1Δ mutant in a wild type background. In QMhem1Δ, however, increased amounts of squalene were found in cellular membranes, especially in microsomes. The fact that QMhem1Δ did not form lipid particles indicated that accumulation of squalene solely was not sufficient to initiate proliferation of lipid particles. Most importantly, these results also demonstrated that (i) squalene was not lipotoxic under the conditions tested, and (ii) organelle membranes in yeast can accommodate relatively large quantities of this non-polar lipid without compromising cellular functions. In summary, localization of squalene as described here can be regarded as an unconventional example of non-polar lipid storage in cellular membranes. 相似文献

Eighty to ninety percent of vegetative cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae DCL 740 incubated in KCl-acetate medium form asci, the majority of which are four-spored. Ascospores are visible in asci after about 24 hr, and spore formation is complete after about 48 hr. The dry weight of the cells increases by about 75% during 48 hr of incubation, while the lipid content of the cells increases by a factor of four. The increase in lipid content is attributed mainly to an increased synthesis of sterol esters and triacylglycerols and to a lesser extent of phospholipids. The phospholipid and sterol compositions do not change appreciably, but there is a marked increase in the proportion of unsaturated fatty acid residues in ascan lipids. Uniformly labeled (14)C-acetate is incorporated mainly into sterol esters and triacylglycerols and phospholipids. Pulse-labeling by adding acetate-U-(14)C to sporulating cultures and harvesting after a further 6 hr of incubation reveal two main periods of acetate incorporation, namely between 0 and 18 hr, and between 24 and 30 hr. Electron micrographs of thin sections through developing asci show that the principal changes in fine structure occur between 18 and 24 hr and include the appearance of numerous electron-transparent vesicles which become aligned around the meiotic nucleus, and the laying down of extensive endoplasmic reticulum membranes. Changes in fine structure are discussed in relation to the alterations in lipid content and composition of asci. 相似文献

A cascade of three protein kinases known as a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade is commonly found as part of the signaling pathways in eukaryotic cells. Almost two decades of genetic and biochemical experimentation plus the recently completed DNA sequence of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome have revealed just five functionally distinct MAPK cascades in this yeast. Sexual conjugation, cell growth, and adaptation to stress, for example, all require MAPK-mediated cellular responses. A primary function of these cascades appears to be the regulation of gene expression in response to extracellular signals or as part of specific developmental processes. In addition, the MAPK cascades often appear to regulate the cell cycle and vice versa. Despite the success of the gene hunter era in revealing these pathways, there are still many significant gaps in our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms for activation of these cascades and how the cascades regulate cell function. For example, comparison of different yeast signaling pathways reveals a surprising variety of different types of upstream signaling proteins that function to activate a MAPK cascade, yet how the upstream proteins actually activate the cascade remains unclear. We also know that the yeast MAPK pathways regulate each other and interact with other signaling pathways to produce a coordinated pattern of gene expression, but the molecular mechanisms of this cross talk are poorly understood. This review is therefore an attempt to present the current knowledge of MAPK pathways in yeast and some directions for future research in this area. 相似文献

Very high ethanol tolerance is a distinctive trait of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae with notable ecological and industrial importance. Although many genes have been shown to be required for moderate ethanol tolerance (i.e., 6 to 12%) in laboratory strains, little is known of the much higher ethanol tolerance (i.e., 16 to 20%) in natural and industrial strains. We have analyzed the genetic basis of very high ethanol tolerance in a Brazilian bioethanol production strain by genetic mapping with laboratory strains containing artificially inserted oligonucleotide markers. The first locus contained the ura3Δ0 mutation of the laboratory strain as the causative mutation. Analysis of other auxotrophies also revealed significant linkage for LYS2, LEU2, HIS3, and MET15. Tolerance to only very high ethanol concentrations was reduced by auxotrophies, while the effect was reversed at lower concentrations. Evaluation of other stress conditions showed that the link with auxotrophy is dependent on the type of stress and the type of auxotrophy. When the concentration of the auxotrophic nutrient is close to that limiting growth, more stress factors can inhibit growth of an auxotrophic strain. We show that very high ethanol concentrations inhibit the uptake of leucine more than that of uracil, but the 500-fold-lower uracil uptake activity may explain the strong linkage between uracil auxotrophy and ethanol sensitivity compared to leucine auxotrophy. Since very high concentrations of ethanol inhibit the uptake of auxotrophic nutrients, the active uptake of scarce nutrients may be a major limiting factor for growth under conditions of ethanol stress. 相似文献

Lipid synthesis in inositol-starved Saccharomyces cerevisiae 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Lipid synthesis was analyzed in an inositol-requiring mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (MC13). Both rates and cellular amounts of [U-14C]acetate incorporation into phospholipids, triacylglycerols, free sterols and steryl esters were elevated in an inositol-starved culture compared to the supplemented control at a time when the deprived culture was losing viability (inositol-less death). The rates at a later time were greatly reduced. During the period when de novo lipid synthesis was high in the starved culture, phospholipid turnover and presumed conversion to triacylglycerols was also accelerated; no differences were apparent in the turnover of the sterol fractions between the two cultures. No change in the fractional percent of ergosterol or of the sterol precursors could be attributed to inositol starvation. The synthesis and maintenance of membrane lipids (phospholipids and free sterols) and their coupling in cellular metabolism are discussed in light of these results. 相似文献

酿酒酵母X330高浓度发酵时耐酒精性能的初步研究 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
在完全合成培养基条件下,就渗透压保护剂和营养物质对一株产高浓度酒精的酿酒酵母X330高浓度发酵时耐酒精性能的影响进行了初步研究。结果表明,与渗透压相比,营养缺乏对酿酒酵母高浓度发酵时酒精耐受性能可能起着更为关键和重要的作用。发酵培养基中各营养元素对耐酒精性能的影响不同,由高到低的顺序是酵母抽提物>蛋白胨>硫酸镁>维生素C=磷酸二氢钾>氯化钙=硫酸铵。渗透压保护剂(甘氨酸和脯氨酸)能有效提高菌体酒精耐受性能。当甘氨酸添加浓度为20mmol/L或脯氨酸添加浓度为10mmol/L时,发酵终点酒精浓度最高,菌体于30℃在18%(V/V)酒精冲击下的存活率最大,且均高于对照组(未添加甘氨酸且未添加脯氨酸)水平,但甘氨酸的促进作用强于脯氨酸。 相似文献

Summary Spherical or elongated phospholipid inclusions have been observed in vacuoles of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The periodicity of these lipid inclusions is 56 Å and the material of which they are composed appears to be derived from spherosomes. The spherosomes arise in the cytoplasm, penetrate the tonoplast, and discharge their contents into the vacuole. It is postulated that the phospholipid matrix of the spherosome then aggregates to produce the myelin-like inclusions. Tween 80 and ergosterol together in the growth medium do not prevent the formation of the lipid inclusions. 相似文献

《Autophagy》2013,9(2):145-148
Autophagy can be divided into selective and non-selective modes. This process is considered selective when a precise cargo is specifically and exclusively incorporated into autophagosomes, the double-membrane vesicles that are the hallmark of autophagy. In contrast, during nonselective, bulk autophagy, cytoplasmic components are randomly enwrapped into autophagosomes. To date, approximately 30 autophagy-related genes called ATG have been identified. Sixteen of them compose the general basic machinery catalyzing the formation of double-membrane vesicles in all eukaryotic cells. The rest of them are often not conserved between species and cooperate with the basic Atg proteins during either selective or nonselective autophagy. Atg9 is the only integral membrane component of the conserved Atg machinery and appears to be a crucial organizational element.5 Recent studies in the S. cerevisiae have shown that Atg9 transport is differentially regulated depending on the autophagy mode. In this addendum, we will review and discuss what has recently been unveiled about yeast S. cerevisiae Atg9 trafficking, its modulators and its potential role in double-membrane vesicle biogenesis.Addendum to:Atg9 Sorting from Mitochondria is Impaired in Early Secretion and VFT Complex Mutants in Saccharomyces cerevisiaeF.
