NuA4 histone acetyltransferase activity is required for H4 acetylation on a dosage-compensated monosomic chromosome that confers resistance to fungal toxins
Tóm tắt
The major human fungal pathogen Candida albicans possesses a diploid genome, but responds to growth in challenging environments by employing chromosome aneuploidy as an adaptation mechanism. For example, we have shown that C. albicans adapts to growth on the toxic sugar l-sorbose by transitioning to a state in which one chromosome (chromosome 5, Ch5) becomes monosomic. Moreover, analysis showed that while expression of many genes on the monosomic Ch5 is altered in accordance with the chromosome ploidy, expression of a large fraction of genes is increased to the normal diploid level, presumably compensating for gene dose.
In order to understand the mechanism of the apparent dosage compensation, we now report genome-wide ChIP-microarray assays for a sorbose-resistant strain harboring a monosomic Ch5. These data show a significant chromosome-wide elevation in histone H4 acetylation on the mCh5, but not on any other chromosome. Importantly, strains lacking subunits of the NuA4 H4 histone acetyltransferase complex, orthologous to a complex previously shown in Drosophila to be associated with a similar gene dosage compensation mechanism, did not show an increase in H4 acetylation. Moreover, loss of NuA4 subunits severely compromised the adaptation to growth on sorbose.
Our results are consistent with a model wherein chromosome-wide elevation of H4 acetylation mediated by the NuA4 complex plays a role in increasing gene expression in compensation for gene dose and adaption to growth in a toxic environment.
