[PMID: 33103596 PMCID: PMC7588218 DOI: 10.1080/21505594.2020.1836903] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2020] [Revised: 08/11/2020] [Accepted: 10/11/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
ENA1 and ENA2 are P-type IID/ENA Na+/K+-ATPases required for cellular homeostasis in yeasts but remain poorly understood in filamentous fungal insect pathogens. Here, we characterized seven genes encoding five ENA1/2 homologues (ENA1a-c and ENA2a/b) and two P-type IIC/NK Na+/K+-ATPases (NK1/2) in Beauveria bassiana, an insect-pathogenic fungus serving as a main source of fungal insecticides worldwide. Most of these genes were highly responsive to alkaline pH and Na+/K+ cues at transcription level. Cellular Na+, K+ and H+ homeostasis was disturbed only in the absence of ena1a or ena2b. The disturbed homeostasis featured acceleration of vacuolar acidification, elevation of cytosolic Na+/K+ level at pH 5.0 to 9.0, and stabilization of extracellular H+ level to initial pH 7.5 during a 5-day period of submerged incubation. Despite little defect in hyphal growth and asexual development, the Δena1a and Δena2b mutants were less tolerant to metal cations (Na+, K+, Li+, Zn2+, Mn2+ and Fe3+), cell wall perturbation, oxidation, non-cation hyperosmolarity and UVB irradiation, severely compromised in insect pathogenicity via normal cuticle infection, and attenuated in virulence via hemocoel injection. The deletion mutants of five other ENA and NK genes showed little change in vacuolar pH and all examined phenotypes. Therefore, only ENA1a and ENA2b evidently involved in both transmembrane and vacuolar activities are essential for cellular cation homeostasis, insect pathogenicity and multiple stress tolerance in B. bassiana. These findings provide a novel insight into ENA1a- and ENA2b-dependent vacuolar pH stability, cation-homeostatic process and fungal fitness to host insect and environment.

Tolerance to alkaline ambient pH in Aspergillus nidulans depends on the activity of ENA proteins. Sci Rep 2020; 10:14325.

Abstract
Tolerance of microorganisms to abiotic stress is enabled by regulatory mechanisms that coordinate the expression and activity of resistance genes. Alkalinity and high salt concentrations are major environmental physicochemical stresses. Here, we analyzed the roles of sodium-extrusion family (ENA) transporters EnaA, EnaB and EnaC in the response to these stress conditions in the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans. While EnaC has a minor role, EnaB is a key element for tolerance to Na+ and Li+ toxicity. Adaptation to alkaline pH requires the concerted action of EnaB with EnaA. Accordingly, expression of enaA and enaB was induced by Na+, Li+ and pH 8. These expression patterns are altered in a sltAΔ background and completely inhibited in a mutant expressing non-functional PacC protein (palH72). However, a constitutively active PacC form was not sufficient to restore maximum enaA expression. In agreement with their predicted role as membrane ATPases, EnaA localized to the plasma membrane while EnaB accumulated at structures resembling the endoplasmic reticulum. Overall, results suggest different PacC- and SltA-dependent roles for EnaB in pH and salt homeostasis, acting in coordination with EnaA at pH 8 but independently under salt stress.

Abstract
Maintenance of proper intracellular concentrations of monovalent cations, mainly sodium and potassium, is a requirement for survival of any cell. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, monovalent cation homeostasis is determined by the active extrusion of protons through the Pma1 H+ -ATPase (reviewed in another chapter of this issue), the influx and efflux of these cations through the plasma membrane transporters (reviewed in this chapter), and the sequestration of toxic cations into the vacuoles. Here, we will describe the structure, function, and regulation of the plasma membrane transporters Trk1, Trk2, Tok1, Nha1, and Ena1, which play a key role in maintaining physiological intracellular concentrations of Na+ , K+ , and H+ , both under normal growth conditions and in response to stress.

Abstract
A set of tools for the genetic manipulation of the osmotolerant yeast Zygosaccharomyces rouxii was developed. Auxotrophic mutants (ura3 leu2, ura3 ade2, ura3 leu2 ade2) derived from the CBS 732 type strain were prepared. Centromeric and episomal Z. rouxii/Escherichia coli shuttle plasmids with different marker genes (ScURA3, ZrLEU2, ZrADE2) and with multiple cloning sites were constructed, together with a plasmid enabling green fluorescent protein-tagging. A system for repeatable targeted gene deletion in Z. rouxii was established, involving first the integration of a PCR-generated loxP-kanMX-loxP cassette and second the removal of kanMX from the genome using a Z. rouxii plasmid harbouring cre recombinase.

Abstract
The yeast Zygosaccharomyces rouxii is known for its high tolerance to osmotic stress, which is thought to be caused by sets of specific genes. Relatively few Z. rouxii genes have been identified so far, all of them having homologues in Saccharomyces cerevisiae; none of them was Z. rouxii-specific. Most of the known Z. rouxii genes were isolated from two wild-type strains, ATCC 2623 and ATCC 42981. In this study, we compared these two strains with regard to some of their morphological, physiological and genomic properties. Important differences were found in their salt tolerance and assimilation of glycerol and karyotype; slight differences were also present in their cell morphology. The ATCC 42981 strain showed a higher resistance to salts, higher glycerol production and, unlike ATCC 2623, was able to assimilate glycerol. Under conditions of osmotic stress, the glycerol production in both Z. rouxii strains was much lower than in a S. cerevisiae S288c culture, which suggested the presence of a system that efficiently retains glycerol inside Z. rouxii cells. The karyotype analysis revealed that ATCC 42981 cells contain more chromosomes and have a bigger genome size than those of ATCC 2623.

Abstract
Two genes, HwENA1 and HwENA2, which encode ENA-like ATPases in the extremely halotolerant black yeast Hortaea werneckii, were cloned and sequenced. Although the expression of both genes is responsive to salt, the transcription of the HwENA1 gene was induced at a higher level when the cells were exposed to salt stress, and the expression of HwENA2 gene was higher in the adapted cells, suggesting their different roles in maintaining alkali cation homeostasis. According to the phylogenetic tree based on the amino acid sequences, they represent a new group of fungal P-type ATPases. The comparison of both amino acid sequences with other fungal ENA ATPases, together with salt- and pH-responsive gene expression, suggests that newly identified ENA genes could be involved in maintaining low Na(+)/K(+) content in H. werneckii.

Abstract
We cloned two genes from the salt-tolerant yeast Zygosaccharomyces rouxii: ZrSOD2 for the cell membrane Na(+)/H(+)-antiporter and ZrPMA1 for the cell membrane H(+)-ATPase. The products of these genes play cooperative roles in the salt-tolerance of Z. rouxii, and the function of the ZrPMA1 product is regulated at the transcription level. We constructed a yeast expression vector that is able to co-express the ZrSOD2 and ZrPMA1 genes. Single expression of ZrSOD2 was effective in conferring salt-tolerance, and although a slight synergic effect was observed with co-expression of ZrSOD2 and ZrPMA1, the usefulness of this co-expression is likely to be minimal with regard to salt-tolerance.

Abstract
We examined the effects of heterologous expression of the open reading frames (ORF) of two genes on salt tolerance and glycerol production in a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain deficient in glycerol synthesis (gpd1Deltagpd2Delta). When the ORF of the Zygosaccharomyces rouxii glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene (ZrGPD1) was expressed under the control of the GAL10 promoter, salt tolerance and glycerol production increased; when the ORF of the glycerol dehydrogenase gene (ZrGCY1) was expressed under the control of the GAL1 promoter, no such changes were observed. Zrgcy1p had a weak effect on glycerol production. These results suggest that Zrgpd1p is the primary enzyme involved in Z. rouxii glycerol production, following a mechanism similar to that of S. cerevisiae (Gpd1p). When the ORFs of the S. cerevisiae glycerol 3-phosphatase gene (GPP2) and ZrGPD1 were simultaneously expressed, glycerol production increased, compared with that in yeast expressing only ZrGPD1.

Abstract
The yeast Nha1 Na(+),K(+)/H(+) antiporter may play an important role in regulation of cell cycle, as high-copy expression of the NHA1 gene is able to rescue the blockage at the G(1)/S transition of cells lacking Sit4 protein phosphatase and Hal3 activities. Interestingly, this function was independent of the role of the antiporter in improving tolerance to sodium cations, it required the integrity of a relatively large region (from residues 800 to 948) of its carboxy-terminal moiety, and was not performed by the fission yeast homolog antiporter Sod2, which lacks a carboxy-terminal tail. Here we show that a hybrid protein composed of the Sod2 antiporter fused to the carboxy-terminal half of Nha1 strongly increased sodium tolerance, but did not allow growth at high potassium nor did rescue growth of the sit4 hal3 conditional mutant strain. Deletion of Nha1 residues from 800 to 849, 900 to 925 or 926 to 954 abolished the function of Nha1 in cell cycle without affecting sodium tolerance. A screening for loss-of-function mutations at the 775-980 carboxy-terminal tail of Nha1 has revealed a number of residues required for function in cell cycle, most of them clustering in two regions, from residues 869 to 876 (cluster A) and 918 to 927 (cluster B). The later is rather conserved in other related antiporters, while the former is not.

Abstract
Candida halophila CBS 4019 (syn. C. versatilis) is an extremely salt-tolerant yeast. It was chosen to study the physiology of long-term resistance to salt stress in cells cultivated at increasing NaCl concentrations up to 4 or 5 M. Growth under stress was slow, severely affected not by salt, but rather by initial external pH. Growing on glucose, glycerol and mannitol were produced. Glycerol is the osmolyte and is transported by H(+)/symport. Transport-driven accumulation was though not affected by salt. The role of mannitol is unknown. Internal pH and intracellular volume were constant during growth at all initial pH/salt combinations. H(+)-ATPase activity was not affected by salt.

Abstract
Yeast plasma membrane Na(+)/H(+) antiporters (TC 2.A.36) share a high degree of similarity at the protein level. Expression of four antiporters (Saccharomyces cerevisiae Nha1p, Candida albicans Cnh1p, Zygosaccharomyces rouxii ZrSod2-22p and Schizosaccharomyces pombe sod2p) in a SACCH: cerevisiae mutant strain lacking both Na(+)-ATPase and Na(+)/H(+) antiporter genes made it possible to study the transport properties and contribution to cell salt tolerance of all antiporters under the same conditions. The ZrSod2-22p of the osmotolerant yeast Z. rouxii has the highest transport capacity for lithium and sodium but, like the SCHIZ: pombe sod2p, it does not recognize K(+) and Rb(+) as substrates. The SACCH: cerevisiae Nha1p and C. albicans Cnh1p have a broad substrate specificity for at least four alkali metal cations (Na(+), Li(+), K(+), Rb(+)), but their contribution to overall cell tolerance to high external concentration of toxic Na(+) and Li(+) cations seems to be lower compared to the antiporters of SCHIZ: pombe and especially Z. rouxii.

Abstract
The effect of replacement of negatively charged amino acid residues on the function of Na+ transport proteins of the salt-tolerant yeast Zygosaccharomyces rouxii was examined by heterologous expression of mutant proteins in a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, RH16.6, that lacks native Na+-ATPase activity due to null mutations of ENA1, ENA2, ENA3, and ENA4. Mutants of Na+/H+ antiporter gene (ZrSOD2) and Na+-ATPase gene (ZrENA1) of Z. rouxii were generated by site-directed mutagenesis. The significance of two aspartic residues arranged in tandem (D265 and D266) was demonstrated in Z. rouxii Na+/H+ antiporter. Some Z. rouxii Na+-ATPase mutant genes, namely E778A, D852A, and E981A present in the transmembrane domains (TMDs) and D736A, D743A, D748A, D749A, D759A, and D760A present in the cytoplasmic space were constructed. A lower level of salt tolerance was bestowed by the mutant genes D852A and E981A present in TMDs and D748A and D749A present in cytoplasmic space, compared with the wild-type gene (ZrENA1).
