    Abstract Initially, protein aggregates were regarded as a sign of a pathological state of the cell. Later, it was found that these assemblies are formed in response to stress, and that some of them serve as signalling mechanisms. This review has a particular focus on how intracellular protein aggregates are related to altered metabolism caused by different glucose concentrations in the extracellular environment. We summarise the current knowledge of the role of energy homeostasis signalling pathways in the consequent effect on intracellular protein aggregate accumulation and removal. This covers regulation at different levels, including elevated protein degradation and proteasome activity mediated by the Hxk2 protein, the enhanced ubiquitination of aberrant proteins through Torc1/Sch9 and Msn2/Whi2, and the activation of autophagy mediated through

    Abstract Proteins are one of the key components of cellular life that play a crucial role in most biological processes. Therefore, quantification of protein copy numbers is essential for revealing and better understanding of cellular behavior and functions. Here we describe a single-molecule fluorescence-based method of protein copy number quantification directly in living cells. This enables quick and reliable estimations and comparison of the protein of interest abundance without implementing large-scale studies.

    Abstract Saccharomyces cerevisiae has a sophisticated signalling system that plays a crucial role in cellular adaptation to changing environments. The SNF1 pathway regulates energy homeostasis upon glucose derepression; hence, it plays an important role in various processes, such as metabolism, cell cycle and autophagy. To unravel its behaviour, SNF1 signalling has been extensively studied. However, the pathway components are strongly interconnected and inconstant; therefore, elucidating its dynamic behaviour based on experimental data only is challenging. To tackle this complexity, systems biology approaches have been successfully employed. This review summarizes the progress, advantages and disadvantages of the available mathematical modelling frameworks covering Boolean, dynamic kinetic, single-cell models, which have been used to study processes and phenomena ranging from crosstalks to sources of cell-to-cell variability in the context of SNF1 signalling. Based on the lessons from existing models, we further discuss how to develop a consensus dynamic mechanistic model of the entire SNF1 pathway that can provide novel insights into the dynamics of nutrient signalling.

    Abstract Fluorescent proteins within fluorescent fusions have been reported to affect cellular growth fitness via altering native protein function and intracellular localization. Here we report in detail a procedure to analyze the growth characteristics of yeast cells expressing such fusions in comparison to unmodified parental strain. This approach can serve as an initial step in fluorescent protein characterization in vivo.

    Abstract Aggregation of misfolded or damaged proteins is often attributed to numerous metabolic and neurodegenerative disorders. To reveal underlying mechanisms and cellular responses, it is crucial to investigate protein aggregate dynamics in cells. Here, we used super-resolution single-molecule microscopy to obtain biophysical characteristics of individual aggregates of a model misfolded protein ∆ssCPY* labelled with GFP. We demonstrated that oxidative and hyperosmotic stress lead to increased aggregate stoichiometries but not necessarily the total number of aggregates. Moreover, our data suggest the importance of the thioredoxin peroxidase Tsa1 for the controlled sequestering and clearance of aggregates upon both conditions. Our work provides novel insights into the understanding of the cellular response to stress via revealing the dynamical properties of stress-induced protein aggregates.

    Abstract The yeast Hsp104 protein disaggregase is often used as a reporter for misfolded or damaged protein aggregates and protein quality control and ageing research. Observing Hsp104 fusions with fluorescent proteins is a popular approach to follow post stress protein aggregation, inclusion formation and disaggregation. While concerns that bigger protein tags, such as genetically encoded fluorescent tags, may affect protein behaviour and function have been around for quite some time, experimental evidence of how exactly the physiology of the protein of interest is altered within fluorescent protein fusions remains limited. To address this issue, we performed a comparative assessment of endogenously expressed Hsp104 fluorescent fusions function and behaviour. We provide experimental evidence that molecular behaviour may not only be altered by introducing a fluorescent protein tag but also varies depending on such a tag within the fusion. Although our findings are especially applicable to protein quality control and ageing research in yeast, similar effects may play a role in other eukaryotic systems.

    Abstract Fluorescence microscopy is an invaluable tool in the biosciences, a genuine workhorse technique offering exceptional contrast in conjunction with high specificity of labelling with relatively minimal perturbation to biological samples compared with many competing biophysical techniques. Improvements in detector and dye technologies coupled to advances in image analysis methods have fuelled recent development towards single-molecule fluorescence microscopy, which can utilize light microscopy tools to enable the faithful detection and analysis of single fluorescent molecules used as reporter tags in biological samples. For example, the discovery of GFP, initiating the so-called 'green revolution', has pushed experimental tools in the biosciences to a completely new level of functional imaging of living samples, culminating in single fluorescent protein molecule detection. Today, fluorescence microscopy is an indispensable tool in single-molecule investigations, providing a high signal-to-noise ratio for visualization while still retaining the key features in the physiological context of native biological systems. In this review, we discuss some of the recent discoveries in the life sciences which have been enabled using single-molecule fluorescence microscopy, paying particular attention to the so-called 'super-resolution' fluorescence microscopy techniques in live cells, which are at the cutting-edge of these methods. In particular, how these tools can reveal new insights into long-standing puzzles in biology: old problems, which have been impossible to tackle using other more traditional tools until the emergence of new single-molecule fluorescence microscopy techniques.

    Abstract Most cells adapt to their environment by switching combinations of genes on and off through a complex interplay of transcription factor proteins (TFs). The mechanisms by which TFs respond to signals, move into the nucleus and find specific binding sites in target genes is still largely unknown. Single-molecule fluorescence microscopes, which can image single TFs in live cells, have begun to elucidate the problem. Here, we show that different environmental signals, in this case carbon sources, yield a unique single-molecule fluorescence pattern of foci of a key metabolic regulating transcription factor, Mig1, in the nucleus of the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This pattern serves as a 'barcode' of the gene regulatory state of the cells which can be correlated with cell growth characteristics and other biological function.
