Time-resolved transcriptomics of S. cerevisiae and S. pastorianus in response to plasma membrane stresses.

Yeasts are beneficial microorganisms for human society and are utilized for academic and industrial purposes. For academic purposes, S. cerevisiae is a well-investigated model for studying eukaryotic cellular processes. For industrial purposes, S. pastorianus, which has a hybrid genome of S. cerevisiae and S. eubayanus, has been served for lager beer production. During fermentation, S. pastorianus produces ~7% of EtOH, which induces plasma membrane (PM)/cell wall stress in yeast. Therefore, S. pastorianus may experience PM stress and adapt to the self-forming environment during fermentation. However, how yeast adapts to PM stress remains unclear. Here, we investigated the temporal cellular responses of S. cerevisiae and S. pastorianus during adaptation to PM stresses by time-resolved mRNA-seq analysis. Our data showed different transcriptional phenotypes between S. cerevisiae and S. pastorianus during adaptation. The results may reflect the distinct nature of the two yeasts that have evolved in different nutritional environments. The dataset presented here would provide a promising resource for studying the characteristic nature of these differentially domesticated yeasts upon PM stresses.

The mammalian ultraviolet response is triggered by activation of Src tyrosine kinases.

Exposure of mammalian cells to DNA-damaging agents induces the ultraviolet (UV) response, involving transcription factor AP-1, composed of Jun and Fos proteins. We investigated the mechanism by which UV irradiation induces the c-jun gene. The earliest detectable step was activation of Src tyrosine kinases, followed by activation of Ha-Ras and Raf-1. The response to UV was blocked by tyrosine kinase inhibitors and dominant negative mutants of v-src, Ha-ras, and raf-1. This signaling cascade leads to increased phosphorylation of c-Jun on two serine residues that potentiate its activity. These results strongly suggest that the UV response is initiated at or near the plasma membrane rather than the nucleus. The response may be elicited by oxidative stress, because it is inhibited by elevation of intracellular glutathione. Using tyrosine kinase inhibitors, we demonstrate that the UV response has a protective function.

Basal and phorbol-ester-stimulated turnover of phosphatidylcholine in HeLa cells involve different pathways.

HeLa cells prelabelled with [3H]lysoplatelet-activating factor (lyso-PAF) accumulated phosphatidic acid (PtdOH) when incubated in the presence of either propranolol (an inhibitor of PtdOH phosphohydrolase) or phorbol ester. In the presence of ethanol, phorbol ester but not propranolol stimulated the accumulation of phosphatidylethanol, an index of phospholipase D activity. Incubation of cells with [3H]lyso-PAF led to a rapid accumulation of label in diacylglycerol (DG) followed by a delayed accumulation in PtdOH. It is concluded that propranolol-induced PtdOH accumulation is derived from DG by DG kinase and does not involve phospholipase D.
