Involvement of the High-Osmolarity Glycerol Pathway of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae in Protection against Copper Toxicity
Although essential for life, copper is also potentially toxic in concentrations that surpass physiological thresholds. The high-osmolarity glycerol pathway of yeast is the main regulator of adaptive responses and is known to play crucial roles in the responses to various stressors. The objective of...

description | Although essential for life, copper is also potentially toxic in concentrations that surpass physiological thresholds. The high-osmolarity glycerol pathway of yeast is the main regulator of adaptive responses and is known to play crucial roles in the responses to various stressors. The objective of this research is to determine whether the HOG pathway could be activated and to investigate the possible interplay of the HOG pathway and oxidative stress due to copper exposure. In this research, we demonstrate that copper could induce oxidative stress, including the elevated concentrations of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA). Increased combination with GSH, increased intracellular SOD activity, and the up-regulation of relevant genes can help cells defend themselves against oxidative toxicity. The results show that copper treatment triggers marked and prolonged Hog1 phosphorylation. Significantly, oxidative stress generated by copper toxicity is essential for the activation of Hog1. Activated Hog1 is translocated to the nucleus to regulate the expressions of genes such as CTT1, GPD1, and HSP12, among others. Furthermore, copper exposure induced significant G1-phase cell cycle arrest, while Hog1 partially participated in the regulation of cell cycle progression. These novel findings reveal another role for Hog1 in the regulation of copper-induced cellular stress. |
