Abstract

Phosphate starvation induces the transcription of several genes involved in phosphate metabolism in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The signal transduction pathway that mediates this response consists of components that resemble those used to regulate the eukaryotic cell cycle; these include a cyclin-dependent kinase or CDK (Pho85), a cyclin (Pho80) and a CDK inhibitor (Pho81). The possibility that this pathway mediates cell-cycle responses to phosphate starvation is discussed.

CDK control of membrane-bound organelle homeostasis.

In eukaryotes, the copy number and size of any given organelle compartment remain constant in dividing cells, underlying a tight coordination between cell division and organelle homeostasis. However, in most cases the mechanisms for this coordination remain mysterious. Here we outline a few cases where the cell cycle machinery directly impacts on organelle homeostasis, with emphasis on the control of vacuolar (lysosomal) copy number and size in budding yeast. We also discuss aspects of organelle biology that can profoundly affect certain cell cycle parameters, such as cell size.

A small-molecule-protein interaction system with split-ubiquitin as sensor.

The identification of receptors for small molecules is of great pharmaceutical importance for drug-discovery research. Several systems for the identification of protein-small-molecule interactions have been developed in the past. These were modifications of the classical yeast two-hybrid system, relying on a transcriptional read-out following nuclear translocation of the complex. Here we present a novel three-hybrid technology based on the split-ubiquitin system for the analysis of protein-small-molecule interactions independently of a nuclear translocation of the complex. The performance of the system is compared to a method based on the classical yeast two-hybrid system by using a chemical inducer of dimerization (CID) comprised of methotrexate linked to dexamethasone. Steric issues are addressed by varying the linker length of the compounds, as well as by comparing the orientation of fusion proteins. The system is further extended to the analysis of a small-molecule inhibitor of human PCTAIRE protein kinase 3, which is related to cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), an important class of pharmaceutical targets.
