Oscillatory nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of the general stress response transcriptional activators Msn2 and Msn4 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Msn2 and Msn4 are two related transcriptional activators that mediate a general response to stress in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae by eliciting the expression of specific sets of genes. In response to stress or nutritional limitation, Msn2 and Msn4 migrate from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. Using GFP-tagged constructs and high-resolution time-lapse video microscopy on single cells, we show th...
متن کاملConserved motifs in the Msn2-activating domain are important for Msn2-mediated yeast stress response.
The Msn2 and Msn4 transcription factors play crucial roles in the yeast general stress response. Previous studies identified several large functional domains of Msn2, mainly through crude truncations. Here, using bioinformatics and experimental approaches to examine Msn2 structure-function relationships, we have identified new functional motifs in the Msn2 transcriptional-activating domain (TAD...
متن کاملThe role of the protein kinase A pathway in the response to alkaline pH stress in yeast
Exposure of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to alkaline pH provokes a stress condition that generates a compensatory reaction. In the present study we examined a possible role for the PKA (protein kinase A) pathway in this response. Phenotypic analysis revealed that mutations that activate the PKA pathway (ira1 ira2, bcy1) tend to cause sensitivity to alkaline pH, whereas its deactivation enhances tol...
متن کاملNoise and interlocking signaling pathways promote distinct transcription factor dynamics in response to different stresses
All cells perceive and respond to environmental stresses through elaborate stress-sensing networks. Yeast cells sense stress through diverse signaling pathways that converge on the transcription factors Msn2 and Msn4, which respond by initiating rapid, idiosyncratic cycles into and out of the nucleus. To understand the role of Msn2/4 nuclear localization dynamics, we combined time-lapse studies...
متن کاملMsn2- and Msn4-like transcription factors play no obvious roles in the stress responses of the fungal pathogen Candida albicans.
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the (C2H2)2 zinc finger transcription factors Msn2 and Msn4 play central roles in responses to a range of stresses by activating gene transcription via the stress response element (STRE; CCCCT). The pathogen Candida albicans displays stress responses that are thought to help it survive adverse environmental conditions encountered within its human host. However, thes...
