Inorganic polyphosphate and exopolyphosphatase in the nuclei of Saccharomyces cerevisiae: dependence on the growth phase and inactivation of the PPX1 and PPN1 genes.
Abstract
Nuclei
of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae possess inorganic polyphosphates
(polyP) with chain lengths of ca. 10-200 phosphate residues.
Subfractionation of the nuclei reveals that the most part of polyP is
not associated with DNA. Transition of the yeast cells from stationary
phase to active growth at orthophosphate (P(i)) excess in the medium is
followed by the synthesis of the shortest polyP (<15 and="" high-molecular="" hydrolysis="" of="" phosphate="" polyp="" residues="" the="">45 phosphate
residues) in the nuclei. Nuclear exopolyphosphatase (exopolyPase)
activity does not depend on the growth phase. The PPX1 gene encoding the
major cytosolic exopolyPase does not encode the nuclear one and its
inactivation has no effect on polyP metabolism in this compartment.
Under inactivation of the PPN1 gene encoding another yeast exopolyPase,
elimination of the nuclear exopolyPase is observed. The effect of PPN1
inactivation on the polyP level in the nuclei is insignificant in the
stationary phase, while in the exponential phase this level increases
2.3-fold as compared with the parent strain of S. cerevisiae. In the
active growth phase, no hydrolysis of high-molecular polyP is detected
while the synthesis of short-chain polyP is retained. The data obtained
indicate substantial changes in polyP metabolism in nuclei under the
renewal of active growth, which only partially depends on the genes of
polyP metabolism known to date.15>
