The S. cerevisiae nitrogen starvation-induced Yvh1p and Ptp2p phosphatases play a role in control of sporulation

Mutational Analyses of the Cysteine-Rich Domain of Yvh1, a Protein Required for Translational Competency in Yeast

Ribosome assembly is a complex biological process facilitated by >200 trans-acting factors (TAFs) that function as scaffolds, place-holders or complex remodelers to promote efficient and directional ribosomal subunit assembly but are not themselves part of functional ribosomes. One such yeast TAF is encoded by Mrt4 which assembles onto pre-60S complexes in the nuclear compartment and remains bound to pre-60S complexes as they are exported into the cytoplasm. There, Mrt4 is displaced from pre-60S complexes facilitating the subsequent addition of the ribosomal stalk complex (P0/P1/P2). Ribosomal stalk proteins interact with translational GTPases (trGTPase) which facilitate and control protein synthesis on the ribosome. The rRNA-binding domain of Mrt4 is structurally similar to P0, with both proteins binding to the same interface of pre-60S subunits in a mutually exclusive manner; the addition of the ribosomal stalk therefore requires the displacement of Mrt4 from pre-60S subunits. Mrt4 removal requires the C-terminal cysteine-rich domain (CRD) of the dual-specificity phosphatase Yvh1. Unlike many other TAFs, yeast lacking Yvh1 are viable but retain Mrt4 on cytoplasmic pre-60S complexes precluding ribosomal stalk addition. Although Yvh1’s role in Mrt4 removal is well established, how Yvh1 accomplishes this is largely unknown. Here, we report an unbiased genetic screen to isolate Yvh1 variants that fail to displace Mrt4 from pre-60S ribosomes. Bioorthogonal non-canonical amino acid tagging (BONCAT) approaches demonstrate that these YVH1 loss-of-function variants also display defects in nascent protein production. The further characterization of one LOF variant, Yvh1F283L, establishes it as an expression-dependent, dominant-negative variant capable of interfering with endogenous Yvh1 function, and we describe how this Yvh1 variant can be used as a novel probe to better understand ribosome maturation and potentially ribosome heterogeneity in eukaryotes.

Characterization of Single Gene Deletion Mutants Affecting Alternative Oxidase Production in Neurospora crassa: Role of the yvh1 Gene

The Neurospora crassa AOD1 protein is a mitochondrial alternative oxidase that passes electrons directly from ubiquinol to oxygen. The enzyme is encoded by the nuclear aod-1 gene and is produced when the standard electron transport chain is inhibited. We previously identified eleven strains in the N. crassa single gene deletion library that were severely deficient in their ability to produce AOD1 when grown in the presence of chloramphenicol, an inhibitor of mitochondrial translation that is known to induce the enzyme. Three mutants affected previously characterized genes. In this report we examined the remaining mutants and found that the deficiency of AOD1 was due to secondary mutations in all but two of the strains. One of the authentic mutants contained a deletion of the yvh1 gene and was found to have a deficiency of aod-1 transcripts. The YVH1 protein localized to the nucleus and a post mitochondrial pellet from the cytoplasm. A zinc binding domain in the protein was required for rescue of the AOD1 deficiency. In other organisms YVH1 is required for ribosome assembly and mutants have multiple phenotypes. Lack of YVH1 in N. crassa likely also affects ribosome assembly leading to phenotypes that include altered regulation of AOD1 production.

Genetic interactions of ribosome maturation factors Yvh1 and Mrt4 influence mRNA decay, glycogen accumulation, and the expression of early meiotic genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Yvh1, a dual-specificity protein phosphatase involved in glycogen accumulation and sporulation, is required for normal vegetative growth. To further elucidate the role of Yvh1, we generated dominant mutants suppressing the slow growth caused by YVH1 disruption. One of the mutant alleles, designated as SVH1-1 (suppressor of Δyvh1 deletion), was identical to MRT4 (mRNA turnover) that contained a single-base substitution causing an amino acid change from Gly(68) to Asp. Mrt4(G68D) restored the deficiencies in growth and rRNA biogenesis that occurs in absence of Yvh1. Here, we report that the interaction between Mrt4 and Yvh1 is also essential for normal glycogen accumulation and mRNA decay as well as the induction of sporulation genes IME2, SPO13 and HOP1. The Mrt4(G68D) could restore the plethora of phenotypes we observed in absence of Yvh1. We found that Yvh1 is not essential for wild-type induction of the transcriptional regulator of these genes, IME1, suggesting that either translation or post-translational modification to activate Ime1 has been compromised. Since a defect in ribosome biogenesis in general can be related to other various defects, the ribosome biogenesis defect caused by absence of Yvh1 might be an indirect cause of observed phenotypes.

Ribosome stalk assembly requires the dual-specificity phosphatase Yvh1 for the exchange of Mrt4 with P0

The step by step assembly process from preribosome in the nucleus to translation-competent 60S ribosome subunit in the cytoplasm is revealed (also see Kemmler et al. in this issue).

The ribosome stalk is essential for recruitment of translation factors. In yeast, P0 and Rpl12 correspond to bacterial L10 and L11 and form the stalk base of mature ribosomes, whereas Mrt4 is a nuclear paralogue of P0. In this study, we show that the dual-specificity phosphatase Yvh1 is required for the release of Mrt4 from the pre-60S subunits. Deletion of YVH1 leads to the persistence of Mrt4 on pre-60S subunits in the cytoplasm. A mutation in Mrt4 at the protein–RNA interface bypasses the requirement for Yvh1. Pre-60S subunits associated with Yvh1 contain Rpl12 but lack both Mrt4 and P0. These results suggest a linear series of events in which Yvh1 binds to the pre-60S subunit to displace Mrt4. Subsequently, P0 loads onto the subunit to assemble the mature stalk, and Yvh1 is released. The initial assembly of the ribosome with Mrt4 may provide functional compartmentalization of ribosome assembly in addition to the spatial separation afforded by the nuclear envelope.

The Pyst2-L phosphatase is involved in cell-crowding

The dual-specificity phosphatase Pyst2-L was found to be over expressed in leukocytes derived from AML and ALL patients as well as in certain other solid tumors and lymphoblastoid cell lines. Pyst2-L, binds and dephosphorylates both pERKs and pJNKs proteins, and thus, plays a role in regulating the MAP kinase signaling pathway. In the present study, a comparative genomic application was used and sequence analysis of multi-organisms databases were searched in order to identify genes homologous to Pyst2-L. The Xenopus laevis MAP kinase phosphatase X17c gene and the Yeast nitrogen starvation-induced protein phosphatase Yvh1p gene were revealed to be highly homologous with Pyst2-L. Both X17c and Yvh1p genes play a role in cell cycle regulation. A down regulated expression of the Yvh1p gene occurred in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that were synchronized to the G2-phase of the cell cycle by alpha-factor. In conformity with this result, a reduction in Pyst2-L expression levels was observed in G2-phase-synchronized Human K562 cells. Finally, we were able to show that cells in highly crowded cultures express high levels of the Pyst2-L phosphatase. These observations may indicate that low levels of the Pyst2-L phosphatase are essential for the G2-phase of the cell cycle and that this phosphatase might play a role in signaling cascades induced by cellular crowding.

A putative dual-specific protein phosphatase encoded by YVH1 controls growth, filamentation and virulence in Candida albicans

In response to stimulants, such as serum, the yeast cells of the opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans form germ tubes, which develop into hyphae. Yvh1p, one of the 29 protein phosphatases encoded in the C. albicans genome, has 45% identity with the dual-specific phosphatase Yvh1p of the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this study, Yvh1p expression was not observed during the initial step of germ tube formation, although Yvh1p was expressed constitutively in cell cycle progression of yeast or hyphal cells. In an attempt to analyse the function of Yvh1p phosphatase, the complete ORFs of both alleles were deleted by replacement with hph200-URA3-hph200 and ARG4. Although YVH1 has nine single-nucleotide polymorphisms in its coding sequence, both YVH1 alleles were able to complement the YVH1 gene disruptant. The vegetative growth of Deltayvh1 was significantly slower than the wild-type. The hyphal growth of Deltayvh1 on agar, or in a liquid medium, was also slower than the wild-type because of the delay in nuclear division and septum formation, although germ tube formation was similar between the wild-type and the disruptant. Despite the slow hyphal growth, the expression of several hypha-specific genes in Deltayvh1 was not delayed or repressed compared with that of the wild-type. Infection studies using mouse models revealed that the virulence of Deltayvh1 was less than that of the wild-type. Thus, YVH1 contributes to normal vegetative yeast or hyphal cell cycle progression and pathogenicity, but not to germ tube formation.

Mapping and characterization of the amplicon near APOA2 in 1q23 in human sarcomas by FISH and array CGH

BACKGROUND

Amplification of the q21-q23 region on chromosome 1 is frequently found in sarcomas and a variety of other solid tumours. Previous analyses of sarcomas have indicated the presence of at least two separate amplicons within this region, one located in 1q21 and one located near the apolipoprotein A-II (APOA2) gene in 1q23. In this study we have mapped and characterized the amplicon in 1q23 in more detail.

RESULTS

We have used fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) and microarray-based comparative genomic hybridisation (array CGH) to map and define the borders of the amplicon in 10 sarcomas. A subregion of approximately 800 kb was identified as the core of the amplicon. The amplification patterns of nine possible candidate target genes located to this subregion were determined by Southern blot analysis. The genes activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) and dual specificity phosphatase 12 (DUSP12) showed the highest level of amplification, and they were also shown to be over-expressed by quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR). In general, the level of expression reflected the level of amplification in the different tumours. DUSP12 was expressed significantly higher than ATF6 in a subset of the tumours. In addition, two genes known to be transcriptionally activated by ATF6, glucose-regulated protein 78 kDa and -94 kDa (GRP78 and GRP94), were shown to be over-expressed in the tumours that showed over-expression of ATF6.

CONCLUSION

ATF6 and DUSP12 seem to be the most likely candidate target genes for the 1q23 amplification in sarcomas. Both genes have possible roles in promoting cell growth, which makes them interesting candidate targets.

Rapamycin pre-treatment preserves viability, ATP level and catabolic capacity during carbon starvation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Saccharomyces cerevisiae growing exponentially in anaerobic batch cultures that are suddenly exposed to carbon starvation will rapidly lose almost all ATP. This will cause an energy deficiency and adaptation to starvation conditions is prohibited. As a result, viability and fermentative capacity will be drastically reduced during prolonged starvation. However, if the cells are incubated in the presence of rapamycin (which will inactivate the TOR pathway) before carbon starvation ATP levels, viability and fermentative capacity will be preserved to a much larger extent compared to untreated cells. The beneficial effect of rapamycin cannot be explained by induction of a stationary phase phenotype. In fact, under these anaerobic well-controlled growth conditions, rapamycin-treated cells were still metabolically active and continued to grow, albeit not exponentially and with a reduced protein content. It is hypothesized that the loss of ATP during carbon starvation occurs because protein synthesis does not make an immediate arrest at the onset of starvation. Since there are no external or internal energy sources, this will rapidly deplete the cells of ATP. Rapamycin-treated cells, on the other hand, have already downregulated the protein-synthesizing machinery and are thus better suited to cope with a sudden carbon starvation condition. This hypothesis is strengthened by the fact that treating the cells with the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide also improves the carbon starvation tolerance, although not to the same extent as rapamycin. The even better effect of rapamycin is explained by accumulation of storage carbohydrates, which is not observed for cycloheximide-treated cells.

A zinc-binding dual-specificity YVH1 phosphatase in the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, and its interaction with the nuclear protein, pescadillo

Biochemical evidence revealed protein tyrosine kinase and phosphatase activities in the human malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum, a member of the Apicomplexa. A novel cDNA sequence of a dual-specificity phosphatase was identified in both sexual and asexual stages of P. falciparum, and named PfYVH1, since the predicted primary structure of the 278-amino acid polypeptide showed significant similarity to the human and yeast YVH1 phosphatases. The N-terminal half of PfYVH1 contained a conserved tyrosine phosphatase catalytic domain within a dual-specificity phosphatase domain. The C-terminal region, consisting of one histidine and eight cysteines, represented a zinc-binding domain with a potentially unconventional architecture. Recombinant PfYVH1 contained 2mol of zinc per mol protein and dephosphorylated both phosphoserine and phosphotyrosine residues. Mutation of specific Cys residues in the putative zinc finger region abolished zinc binding and drastically reduced phosphatase activity, suggesting an allosteric role of zinc in catalysis. PfYVH1 was expressed in essentially all erythrocytic stages of the parasite, and shuttled between the nucleus and the cytoplasm in a stage-specific manner. A Plasmodium ortholog of the nuclear pescadillo protein (PfPES) was also characterized and shown to interact with PfYVH1, thus implicating PfYVH1 in the regulation of parasitic development. PfYVH1 represents the first dual-specificity zinc-finger phosphatase characterized in the protozoan kingdom.

Transcriptional regulation of meiosis in budding yeast

Initiation of meiosis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is regulated by mating type and nutritional conditions that restrict meiosis to diploid cells grown under starvation conditions. Specifically, meiosis occurs in MATa/MATalpha cells shifted to nitrogen depletion media in the absence of glucose and the presence of a nonfermentable carbon source. These conditions lead to the expression and activation of Ime 1, the master regulator of meiosis. IME1 encodes a transcriptional activator recruited to promoters of early meiosis-specific genes by association with the DNA-binding protein, Ume6. Under vegetative growth conditions these genes are silent due to recruitment of the Sin3/Rpd3 histone deacetylase and Isw2 chromatin remodeling complexes by Ume6. Transcription of these meiotic genes occurs following histone acetylation by Gcn5. Expression of the early genes promote entry into the meiotic cycle, as they include genes required for premeiotic DNA synthesis, synapsis of homologous chromosomes, and meiotic recombination. Two of the early meiosis specific genes, a transcriptional activator, Ndt80, and a CDK2 homologue, Ime2, are required for the transcription of middle meiosis-specific genes that are involved with nuclear division and spore formation. Spore maturation depends on late genes whose expression is indirectly dependent on Ime1, Ime2, and Ndt80. Finally, phosphorylation of Imel by Ime2 leads to its degradation, and consequently to shutting down of the meiotic transcriptional cascade. This review is focusing on the regulation of gene expression governing initiation and progression through meiosis.

Dual-specificity protein phosphatase Yvh1p, which is required for vegetative growth and sporulation, interacts with yeast pescadillo homolog in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae dual-specificity protein phosphatase Yvh1p, identified as vaccinia VH1 homolog, regulates cell growth, sporulation, and glycogen accumulation. Transcription of YVH1 is induced by lowering temperature and nitrogen starvation. Using the yeast two-hybrid system, we searched for Yvh1p-interacting proteins, including substrates and regulatory subunits of Yvh1p. Two clones were identified encoding a segment of YPH1 (yeast pescadillo homolog), which is essential for cell cycle progression in yeast. Deletion analysis revealed that the catalytic domain of Yvh1p and the BRCT domain of Yph1p are sufficient for this interaction. We found that the multicopy of YPH1 not only suppressed slow growth but also decreased IME2 expression in the yvh1 disruptant. These observations indicate that Yph1p plays a role in sporulation in addition to cell cycle progression, and is a candidate for a substrate or a regulatory subunit of Yvh1p.

Carbon- and nitrogen-quality signaling to translation are mediated by distinct GATA-type transcription factors

The target of rapamycin (Tor) proteins sense nutrients and control transcription and translation relevant to cell growth. Treating cells with the immunosuppressant rapamycin leads to the intracellular formation of an Fpr1p-rapamycin-Tor ternary complex that in turn leads to translational down-regulation. A more rapid effect is a rich transcriptional response resembling that when cells are shifted from high- to low-quality carbon or nitrogen sources. This transcriptional response is partly mediated by the nutrient-sensitive transcription factors GLN3 and NIL1 (also named GAT1). Here, we show that these GATA-type transcription factors control transcriptional responses that mediate translation by several means. Four observations highlight upstream roles of GATA-type transcription factors in translation. In their absence, processes caused by rapamycin or poor nutrients are diminished: translation repression, eIF4G protein loss, transcriptional down-regulation of proteins involved in translation, and RNA polymerase I/III activity repression. The Tor proteins preferentially use Gln3p or Nil1p to down-regulate translation in response to low-quality nitrogen or carbon, respectively. Functional consideration of the genes regulated by Gln3p or Nil1p reveals the logic of this differential regulation. Besides integrating control of transcription and translation, these transcription factors constitute branches downstream of the multichannel Tor proteins that can be selectively modulated in response to distinct (carbon- and nitrogen-based) nutrient signals from the environment.

The dual-specificity protein phosphatase Yvh1p regulates sporulation, growth, and glycogen accumulation independently of catalytic activity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae via the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase cascade

Yvh1p, a dual-specific protein phosphatase induced specifically by nitrogen starvation, regulates cell growth as well as initiation and completion of sporulation. We demonstrate that yvh1 disruption mutants are also unable to accumulate glycogen in stationary phase. A catalytically inactive variant of yvh1 (C117S) and a DNA fragment encoding only the Yvh1p C-terminal 159 amino acids (which completely lacks the phosphatase domain) complement all three phenotypes as well as the wild-type allele; no complementation occurs with a fragment encoding only the C-terminal 74 amino acids. These observations argue that phosphatase activity is not required for the Yvh1p functions we measured. Mutations which decrease endogenous cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels partially suppress the sporulation and glycogen accumulation defects. In addition, reporter gene expression supported by a DRR2 promoter fragment, containing two stress response elements known to respond to cAMP-protein kinase A, decreases in a yvh1 disruption mutant. Therefore, our results identify three cellular processes that both require Yvh1p and respond to alterations in cAMP, and they lead us to suggest that Yvh1p may be a participant in and/or a contributor to regulation of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase cascade. The fact that decreasing the levels of cAMP alleviates the need for Yvh1p function supports this suggestion.

Essential functions of protein tyrosine phosphatases PTP2 and PTP3 and RIM11 tyrosine phosphorylation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae meiosis and sporulation

Tyrosine phosphorylation plays a central role in eukaryotic signal transduction. In yeast, MAP kinase pathways are regulated by tyrosine phosphorylation, and it has been speculated that other biochemical processes may also be regulated by tyrosine phosphorylation. Previous genetic and biochemical studies demonstrate that protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) negatively regulate yeast MAP kinases. Here we report that deletion of PTP2 and PTP3 results in a sporulation defect, suggesting that tyrosine phosphorylation is involved in regulation of meiosis and sporulation. Deletion of PTP2 and PTP3 blocks cells at an early stage of sporulation before premeiotic DNA synthesis and induction of meiotic-specific genes. We observed that tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins, including 52-, 43-, and 42-kDa proteins, was changed in ptp2Deltaptp3Delta homozygous deletion cells under sporulation conditions. The 42-kDa tyrosine-phosphorylated protein was identified as Mck1, which is a member of the GSK3 family of protein kinases and previously known to be phosphorylated on tyrosine. Mutation of MCK1 decreases sporulation efficiency, whereas mutation of RIM11, another GSK3 member, specifically abolishes sporulation; therefore, we investigated regulation of Rim11 by Tyr phosphorylation during sporulation. We demonstrated that Rim11 is phosphorylated on Tyr-199, and the Tyr phosphorylation is essential for its in vivo function, although Rim11 appears not to be directly regulated by Ptp2 and Ptp3. Biochemical characterizations indicate that tyrosine phosphorylation of Rim11 is essential for the activity of Rim11 to phosphorylate substrates. Our data demonstrate important roles of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in meiosis and sporulation

Rapamycin-modulated transcription defines the subset of nutrient-sensitive signaling pathways directly controlled by the Tor proteins

The immunosuppressant rapamycin inhibits Tor1p and Tor2p (target of rapamycin proteins), ultimately resulting in cellular responses characteristic of nutrient deprivation through a mechanism involving translational arrest. We measured the immediate transcriptional response of yeast grown in rich media and treated with rapamycin to investigate the direct effects of Tor proteins on nutrient-sensitive signaling pathways. The results suggest that Tor proteins directly modulate the glucose activation and nitrogen discrimination pathways and the pathways that respond to the diauxic shift (including glycolysis and the citric acid cycle). Tor proteins do not directly modulate the general amino acid control, nitrogen starvation, or sporulation (in diploid cells) pathways. Poor nitrogen quality activates the nitrogen discrimination pathway, which is controlled by the complex of the transcriptional repressor Ure2p and activator Gln3p. Inhibiting Tor proteins with rapamycin increases the electrophoretic mobility of Ure2p. The work presented here illustrates the coordinated use of genome-based and biochemical approaches to delineate a cellular pathway modulated by the protein target of a small molecule.

The dual-specificity protein phosphatase Yvh1p acts upstream of the protein kinase mck1p in promoting spore development in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Diploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells induce YVH1 expression and enter the developmental pathway, leading to sporulation when starved for nitrogen. We show that yvh1 disruption causes a defect in spore maturation; overexpression of MCK1 or IME1 suppresses this yvh1 phenotype. While mck1 mutations are epistatic to those in yvh1 relative to spore maturation, overexpression of MCK1 does not suppress the yvh1 slow-vegetative-growth phenotype. We conclude that (i) Yvh1p functions earlier than Mck1p and Ime1p in the signal transduction cascade that regulates sporulation and is triggered by nitrogen starvation and (ii) the role of Yvh1p in gametogenesis can be genetically distinguished from its role in vegetative growth.

Identification of the human YVH1 protein-tyrosine phosphatase orthologue reveals a novel zinc binding domain essential for in vivo function

A human orthologue of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae YVH1 protein-tyrosine phosphatase is able to rescue the slow growth defect caused by the disruption of the S. cerevisiae YVH1 gene. The human YVH1 gene is located on chromosome 1q21-q22, which falls in a region amplified in human liposarcomas. The evolutionary conserved COOH-terminal noncatalytic domain of human YVH1 is essential for in vivo function. The cysteine-rich COOH-terminal domain is capable of coordinating 2 mol of zinc/mol of protein, defining it as a novel zinc finger domain. Human YVH1 is the first protein-tyrosine phosphatase that contains and is regulated by a zinc finger domain.

Control of nitrogen catabolite repression is not affected by the tRNAGln-CUU mutation, which results in constitutive pseudohyphal growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Saccharomyces cerevisiae responds to nitrogen availability in several ways. (i) The cell is able to distinguish good nitrogen sources from poor ones through a process designated nitrogen catabolite repression (NCR). Good and poor nitrogen sources do not demonstrably affect the cell cycle other than to influence the cell's doubling time. (ii) Nitrogen starvation promotes the initiation of sporulation and pseudohyphal growth. (iii) Nitrogen starvation strongly affects the cell cycle; nitrogen-starved cells arrest in G1. A specific allele of the SUP70/CDC65 tRNAGln gene (sup70-65) has been reported to be defective in nitrogen signaling associated with pseudohyphal formation, sporulation, and NCR. Our data confirm that pseudohyphal growth occurs gratuitously in sup70-65 mutants cultured in nitrogen-rich medium at 30 degrees C. However, we find neither any defect in NCR in the sup70-65 mutant nor any alteration in the control of YVH1 expression, which has been previously shown to be specifically induced by nitrogen starvation.

Genetic analysis of protein tyrosine phosphatases

Genetic analysis has enhanced our understanding of the biological roles of many protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs). More recently, studies utilizing both spontaneous mutants and mutants induced by homologous recombination techniques have begun to yield key insights into the role of specific protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) and to suggest how PTKs and PTPs interact. Specific PTPs in Saccharomyces cerevesiae and Schizomyces pombe regulate MAP kinase pathways. Several Drosophila receptor PTPs control axonal targeting pathways, whereas the non-receptor PTP Corkscrew (Csw), plays an essential positive signaling role in multiple developmental pathways directed by receptor PTKs. The vertebrate homolog of Csw, SHP-2, also is required for growth factor signaling and normal development. Finally, very recent studies of other mammalian PTPs suggest that they have critical roles in processes as diverse as hematopoiesis and liver and pituitary development.
