Abstract

Iron (Fe) is an essential cofactor for a wide range of cellular processes. We have previously demonstrated in yeast that Cth2 is expressed during Fe deficiency and promotes degradation of a battery of mRNAs leading to reprogramming of Fe-dependent metabolism and Fe storage. We report here that the Cth2-homologous protein Cth1 is transiently expressed during Fe deprivation and participates in the response to Fe deficiency through the degradation of mRNAs primarily involved in mitochondrially localized activities including respiration and amino acid biosynthesis. In parallel, wild-type cells, but not cth1Deltacth2Delta cells, accumulate mRNAs encoding proteins that function in glucose import and storage and store high levels of glycogen. In addition, Fe deficiency leads to phosphorylation of Snf1, an AMP-activated protein kinase family member required for the cellular response to glucose starvation. These studies demonstrate a metabolic reprogramming as a consequence of Fe starvation that is dependent on the coordinated activities of two mRNA-binding proteins.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Under iron limitation, yeast cells lacking Cth2 display high mRNA levels of multiple ERG genes including ERG1, ERG7, ERG11 and DAP1.

    “Under iron limitation, yeast cells lacking the iron-regulated RNA-binding protein Cth2 display high mRNA levels of multiple ERG genes including those of the first steps of the late stage of synthesis (ERG1, ERG7, ERG11 and DAP1) [116,118].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
