    Abstract Accumulating evidence in several model organisms indicates that reduced sphingolipid biosynthesis promotes longevity, although underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In yeast, sphingolipid depletion induces a state resembling amino acid restriction, which we hypothesized might be due to altered stability of amino acid transporters at the plasma membrane. To test this, we measured surface abundance for a diverse panel of membrane proteins in the presence of myriocin, a sphingolipid biosynthesis inhibitor, in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Unexpectedly, we found that surface levels of most proteins examined were either unaffected or increased during myriocin treatment, consistent with an observed decrease in bulk endocytosis. In contrast, sphingolipid depletion triggered selective endocytosis of the methionine transporter Mup1. Unlike methionine-induced Mup1 endocytosis, myriocin triggered Mup1 endocytosis that required the Rsp5 adaptor Art2, C-terminal lysine residues of Mup1 and the formation of K63-linked ubiquitin polymers. These findings reveal cellular adaptation to sphingolipid depletion by ubiquitin-mediated remodeling of nutrient transporter composition at the cell surface.

    Abstract As the elderly population increases, chronic, age-associated diseases are challenging healthcare systems around the world. Nutrient limitation is well known to slow the aging process and improve health. Regrettably, practicing nutrient restriction to improve health is unachievable for most people. Alternatively, pharmacological strategies are being pursued including myriocin which increases lifespan in budding yeast. Myriocin impairs sphingolipid synthesis, resulting in lowered amino acid pools which promote entry into a quiescent, long-lived state. Here we present transcriptomic data during the first 6 hours of drug treatment that improves our mechanistic understanding of the cellular response to myriocin and reveals a new role for ubiquitin in longevity. Previously we found that the methionine transporter Mup1 traffics to the plasma membrane normally in myriocin-treated cells but is not active and undergoes endocytic clearance. We now show that

    Abstract Exploration of chemical composition and structural configuration space is the central problem in crystal structure prediction. Even in limiting structure space to a single structure type, many different compositions and configurations are possible. In this work, we attempt to address this problem using an extension to the existing ChemDASH code in which variable compositions can be explored. We show that ChemDASH is an efficient method for exploring a fixed-composition space of spinel structures and build upon this to include variable compositions in the Mn-Fe-Zn-O spinel phase field. This work presents the first basin-hopping crystal structure prediction method that can explore variable compositions.

    Abstract Studies using Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the common baker's or brewer's yeast, have progressed over the past twenty years from knowing which sphingolipids are present in cells and a basic outline of how they are made to a complete or nearly complete directory of the genes that catalyze their anabolism and catabolism. In addition, cellular processes that depend upon sphingolipids have been identified including protein trafficking/exocytosis, endocytosis and actin cytoskeleton dynamics, membrane microdomains, calcium signaling, regulation of transcription and translation, cell cycle control, stress resistance, nutrient uptake and aging. These will be summarized here along with new data not previously reviewed. Advances in our knowledge of sphingolipids and their roles in yeast are impressive but molecular mechanisms remain elusive and are a primary challenge for further progress in understanding the specific functions of sphingolipids.

    Abstract Our understanding of sphingolipid metabolism and functions in the baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has progressed substantially in the past 2 years. Yeast sphingolipids contain a C26-acyl moiety, all of the genes necessary to make these long-chain fatty acids have been identified, and a mechanism for how chain length is determined has been proposed. Advances in understanding how the de novo synthesis of ceramide and complex sphingolipids is regulated have been made, and they demonstrate that the Target Of Rapamycin Complex 2 (TORC2) controls ceramide synthase activity. Other work shows that TORC2 regulates the level of complex sphingolipids in a pathway using the Slm1 and Slm2 proteins to control the protein phosphatase calcineurin, which regulates the breakdown of complex sphingolipids. The activity of Slm1 and Slm2 has also been shown to be regulated during heat stress by phosphoinositides and TORC2, along with sphingoid long-chain bases and the Pkh1 and Pkh2 protein kinases, to control the actin cytoskeleton, the trafficking of nutrient transporters, and cell viability. Together, these results provide the first molecular insights into understanding previous genetic interaction data that indicated a connection between sphingolipids and the TORC2 and phosphoinositide signaling networks. This new knowledge provides a foundation for greatly advancing our understanding of sphingolipid biology in yeast.
