Dual Activators of the Sterol Biosynthetic Pathway of Saccharomyces cerevisiae : Similar Activation/Regulatory Domains but Different Response Mechanisms
Open accessAbstract
Genes encoding biosynthetic enzymes that make ergosterol, the major fungal membrane sterol, are regulated, in part, at the transcriptional level. Two transcription factors, Upc2p and Ecm22p, bind to the promoters of most ergosterol biosynthetic (ERG) genes, including ERG2 and ERG3, and activate these genes upon sterol depletion. We have identified the transcriptional activation domains of Upc2p and Ecm22p and found that UPC2-1, a mutation that allows cells to take up sterols aerobically, increased the potency of the activation domain. The equivalent mutation in ECM22 also greatly enhanced transcriptional activation. The C-terminal regions of Upc2p and Ecm22p, which contained activation domains, also conferred regulation in response to sterol levels. Hence, the activation and regulatory domains of these proteins overlapped. However, the two proteins differed markedly in how they respond to an increased need for sterols. Upon inducing conditions, Upc2p levels increased, and chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments revealed more Upc2p at promoters even when the activation/regulatory domains were tethered to a different DNA-binding domain. However, induction resulted in decreased Ecm22p levels and a corresponding decrease in the amount of Ecm22p bound to promoters. Thus, these two activators differ in their contributions to the regulation of their targets.

G898D UPC2A behaves as a hyperactive transcriptional activator in C. glabrata, as previously seen for G888D Upc2 in S. cerevisiae.
“This is consistent with G898D UPC2A behaving as a hyperactive transcriptional activator in C. glabrata as has previously been seen for G888D Upc2 in S. cerevisiae [25].”

Upon low sterol levels, the abundance of Ecm22 protein, and consequently its binding to ERG promoters, decreases in a process that involves its direct physical interaction with the repressor Mot3.

Upon ergosterol depletion, the dissociation of the sterol ligand causes a conformational change that exposes Upc2 NLS, causing its translocation to the nucleus, where it activates the transcription of SRE/AR1c-containing genes including most ERG genes, sterol uptake genes (AUS1, PDR11), the DAN/TIR genes, and members of the PAU gene family.

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.
