GTS1 induction causes derepression of Tup1-Cyc8-repressing genes and chromatin remodeling through the interaction of Gts1p with Cyc8p.

چکیده
GTS1 in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a pleiotropic gene, the expression of which affects a wide range of biological phenomena. A genome-wide transcriptional analysis identified genes upregulated in response to GTS1 induction, most of which were found to be regulated by the Tup1-Cyc8 co-repressor. Among the upregulated genes, FLO1 was indispensable for cell aggregation, one of the pleiotropic effects of GTS1. Deletion of genes encoding the chromatin remodeling complex SWI/SNF abolished FLO1 upregulation and decreased cell aggregation, although the nuclear localization of Gts1p required for cell aggregation was not affected. GTS1 induction caused chromatin remodeling at the FLO1 promoter in a SWI/SNF-dependent manner on micrococcal nuclease accessibility assay. Cyc8p was detected in Gts1p-mediated protein aggregates by agarose gel electrophoresis, indicating that Gts1p inhibited Cyc8p function. These results suggest that inhibition of the Tup1-Cyc8 complex and subsequent SWI/SNF-dependent chromatin remodeling result in Gts1p-mediated gene derepression.

Stabilization of the promoter nucleosomes in nucleosome-free regions by the yeast Cyc8-Tup1 corepressor.
The yeast Cyc8 (also known as Ssn6)-Tup1 complex regulates gene expression through a variety of mechanisms, including positioning of nucleosomes over promoters of some target genes to limit accessibility to the transcription machinery. To further define the functions of Cyc8-Tup1 in gene regulation and chromatin remodeling, we performed genome-wide profiling of changes in nucleosome organizatio...
متن کاملHog1 kinase converts the Sko1-Cyc8-Tup1 repressor complex into an activator that recruits SAGA and SWI/SNF in response to osmotic stress.
The yeast ATF/CREB repressor Sko1(Acr1) regulates genes that are induced upon hyperosmotic stress by recruiting the Cyc8(Ssn6)-Tup1 corepressor complex to target promoters. During hyperosmotic stress, Hog1 MAP kinase associates with target promoters, phosphorylates Sko1, and converts Sko1 into a transcriptional activator. Unexpectedly, Tup1 remains bound to target promoters during osmotic stres...
متن کاملShields up: the Tup1-Cyc8 repressor complex blocks coactivator recruitment.
The Tup1-Cyc8 complex is responsible for repression of a large and diverse collection of genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The predominant view has been that Tup1-Cyc8 functions as a corepressor, actively associating with regulatory proteins and organizing chromatin to block transcription. A new study by Wong and Struhl in this issue of Genes & Development (pp. 2525-2539) challenges nearly 20 ...
متن کاملThe yeast Cyc8–Tup1 complex cooperates with Hda1p and Rpd3p histone deacetylases to robustly repress transcription of the subtelomeric FLO1 gene
We demonstrate that the yeast flocculation gene, FLO1, is representative of a distinct subset of subtelomeric genes that are robustly repressed by the Cyc8-Tup1 complex. We have examined Cyc8-Tup1 localisation, histone acetylation and long-range chromatin remodelling within the extensive FLO1 upstream region. We show that Cyc8-Tup1 is localised in a DNase I hypersensitive site within an ordered...
متن کاملDistinct TPR motifs of Cyc8 are involved in recruiting the Cyc8-Tup1 corepressor complex to differentially regulated promoters.
The yeast Cyc8(Ssn6)-Tup1 complex is required for transcriptional repression of distinct sets of genes that are regulated by glucose, oxygen, cell type, and DNA damage. It has been proposed that the Cyc8-Tup1 complex is a corepressor that is recruited to promoters by interacting with pathway-specific DNA-binding proteins. Previously, we showed that a specific region of Tup1 mediates the general...
