Abstract

Among the ∼200 Plasmodium species that infect vertebrates, six infect humans. Of these, P. falciparum causes >95% of all ∼500,000 annual fatalities. Phylogenetically, P. falciparumbelongs to the Laverania subgenus, a group of Plasmodium species that infect great apes. Common to Laverania species is the family of FIKK kinases. One million years ago, a single FIKK kinase conserved in all Plasmodium species gained an export element in the Laveraniasubgenus and expanded into the family of ∼20 atypical FIKK kinases, most of which are exported into the host cell. The fikk genes are conserved in syntenic loci across the Laverania, arguing for a rapid expansion controlling important functions in host cell remodelling and pathogenesis. We provide evidence that the FIKK paralogues evolved specific and mutually exclusive phosphorylation motif preferences, conserved across their Laverania orthologues, in a short evolutionary timeframe. Surprisingly, we find that FIKK13 has evolved exclusive tyrosine-phosphorylation preference, which was thought to be absent in Plasmodium species. Combining a crystal structure with AlphaFold2 predictions, we identify residues that determine kinase-specificity within the FIKK family in a fast-evolving flexible loop. Finally, we show that all expressed members of the FIKK kinase family can be chemically inhibited in vitro using a single compound. Such a pan-specific inhibitor of this kinase family important for virulence could reduce the ability of the parasite to gain escape-mutations and resistance.

Abstract

Paralogous genes are often redundant for long periods of time before they diverge in function. While their functions are preserved, paralogous proteins can accumulate mutations that, through epistasis, could impact their fate in the future. By quantifying the impact of all single-amino acid substitutions on the binding of two myosin proteins to their interaction partners, we find that the future evolution of these proteins is highly contingent on their regulatory divergence and the mutations that have silently accumulated in their protein binding domains. Differences in the promoter strength of the two paralogs amplify the impact of mutations on binding in the lowly expressed one. While some mutations would be sufficient to non-functionalize one paralog, they would have minimal impact on the other. Our results reveal how functionally equivalent protein domains could be destined to specific fates by regulatory and cryptic coding sequence changes that currently have little to no functional impact.

Abstract

Protein functions generally depend on their assembly into complexes. During evolution, some complexes have transitioned from homomers encoded by a single gene to heteromers encoded by duplicate genes. This transition could occur without adaptive evolution through intermolecular compensatory mutations. Here, we experimentally duplicate and evolve an homodimeric enzyme to examine if and how this could happen. We identify hundreds of deleterious mutations that inactivate individual homodimers but produce functional enzymes when co-expressed as duplicated proteins that heterodimerize. The structure of one such heteromer reveals how both losses of function are buffered through the introduction of asymmetry in the complex that allows them to subfunctionalize. Constructive neutral evolution can thus occur by gene duplication followed by only one deleterious mutation per duplicate.

Abstract

Hybrids between species exhibit plastic genomic architectures that foster phenotypic diversity. Their genomic instability also incurs costs, potentially limiting adaptation. When challenged to evolve in an environment containing a UV mimetic drug, yeast hybrids have reduced adaptation rates compared to parents. We hypothesized that this reduction could result from a faster accumulation of genomic changes, but we found no such association. Alternatively, we proposed that hybrids might lack access to adaptive mutations occurring in the parents, yet, we identified mutations in the same genes (PDR1 and YRR1), suggesting similar molecular adaptation mechanisms. However, mutations in these genes tended to be homozygous in the parents but heterozygous in the hybrids. We hypothesized that a lower rate of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in hybrids could limit fitness gain. Using genome editing, we demonstrated that mutations display incomplete dominance, requiring homozygosity to show full impact and to circumvent Haldane’s sieve, which favors the fixation of dominant mutations. We used frozen ‘fossils’ to track genotype frequency dynamics and confirmed that LOH occurs at a slower pace in hybrids than in parents. Together, these findings show that Haldane’s sieve slows down adaptation in hybrids, revealing an intrinsic constraint of hybrid genomic architecture that can limit the role of hybridization in adaptive evolution.

Abstract

Azole antifungals are among the most frequently used drugs to treat fungal infections. Amino acid substitutions in and around the binding site of the azole target Erg11 (Cyp51) are a common resistance mechanism in pathogenic yeasts such as Candida albicans. How many and which mutations confer resistance, and at what cost, is however largely unknown. Here, we measure the impact of nearly 4,000 amino acid variants of the Erg11 ligand binding pocket on the susceptibility to six medical azoles. We find that a large fraction of amino acid substitutions lead to resistance (33%), most resistance mutations confer cross-resistance to two or more azoles (88%) and most importantly, only a handful of resistance mutations show a significant fitness cost in the absence of drug (9%). Our results reveal that selection for azole resistance can arise through a large set of mutations and this will likely lead to azole pan-resistance, with very little evolutionary compromise. Such a resource will help inform treatment choices in clinical settings and guide the development of new drugs.

Abstract

The fidelity of signal transduction requires the binding of regulatory molecules to their cognate targets. However, the crowded cell interior risks off-target interactions between proteins that are functionally unrelated. How such off-target interactions impact fitness is not generally known, but quantifying this is required to understand the constraints faced by cell systems as they evolve. Here, we use the model organism S. cerevisiae to inducibly express tyrosine kinases. Because yeast lacks bona fide tyrosine kinases, most of the resulting tyrosine phosphorylation is spurious. This provides a suitable system to measure the impact of artificial protein interactions on fitness. We engineered 44 yeast strains each expressing a tyrosine kinase, and quantitatively analysed their phosphoproteomes. This analysis resulted in ~30,000 phosphosites mapping to ~3,500 proteins. Examination of the fitness costs in each strain revealed a strong correlation between the number of spurious pY sites and decreased growth. Moreover, the analysis of pY effects on protein structure and on protein function revealed over 1000 pY events that we predict to be deleterious. However, we also find that a large number of the spurious pY sites have a negligible effect on fitness, possibly because of their low stoichiometry. This result is consistent with our evolutionary analyses demonstrating a lack of phosphotyrosine counter-selection in species with bona fide tyrosine kinases. Taken together, our results suggest that, alongside the risk for toxicity, the cell can tolerate a large degree of non-functional crosstalk as interaction networks evolve.

Abstract

Pneumocystis jirovecii is a fungal pathogen that causes pneumocystis pneumonia, a disease that mainly affects immunocompromised individuals. This fungus has historically been hard to study because of our inability to grow it in vitro. One of the main drug targets in P. jirovecii is its dihydrofolate reductase (PjDHFR). Here, by using functional complementation of the baker’s yeast ortholog, we show that PjDHFR can be inhibited by the antifolate methotrexate in a dose-dependent manner. Using deep mutational scanning of PjDHFR, we identify mutations conferring resistance to methotrexate. Thirty-one sites spanning the protein have at least one mutation that leads to resistance, for a total of 355 high-confidence resistance mutations. Most resistance-inducing mutations are found inside the active site, and many are structurally equivalent to mutations known to lead to resistance to different antifolates in other organisms. Some sites show specific resistance mutations, where only a single substitution confers resistance, whereas others are more permissive, as several substitutions at these sites confer resistance. Surprisingly, one of the permissive sites (F199) is without direct contact to either ligand or cofactor, suggesting that it acts through an allosteric mechanism. Modeling changes in binding energy between F199 mutants and drug shows that most mutations destabilize interactions between the protein and the drug. This evidence points towards a more important role of this position in resistance than previously estimated and highlights potential unknown allosteric mechanisms of resistance to antifolate in DHFRs. Our results offer unprecedented resources for the interpretation of mutation effects in the main drug target of an uncultivable fungal pathogen.

Abstract

Most biological processes are regulated by peptide-recognition modules (PRMs) that bind to short linear motifs (SLiMs). Such interactions are rapidly reversible and often occur at low affinity. The protein kinase domain represents one such binding module, and known substrates may have full or only partial matches to the kinase recognition motif, a property known as ‘substrate quality’. However, it is not yet clear whether differences in substrate quality represent neutral variation along the phosphosite sequence or if these differences have functional consequences that are subject to selection. We explore this question in detail for the acidophilic kinase CK2. CK2 is well-characterised, clinically important, and a fundamental enzyme for many aspects of cell biology. We show that optimal CK2 sites are phosphorylated at maximal stoichiometries and found in many conditions whereas minimal substrates are phosphorylated at lower stoichiometries, are more dynamic during the cell cycle, and have regulatory functions. Optimal CK2 sites also tend to be older and more conserved than minimal sites, and evolutionary simulations indicate that the substrate quality of CK2 phosphosites is often tuned by selection. For intermediate target sites, increases or decreases to substrate quality may be deleterious, which we demonstrate experimentally for a CK2 substrate at the kinetochore. The results together suggest that minimal and optimal phosphosites are strongly differentiated in terms of their functional and evolutionary properties.

Abstract

Fungi have a wide range of lifestyles and hosts. We still know little about the impact of lifestyles on their genome architecture. Here, we combined and annotated 562 fungal genomes from the class Sordariomycetes and examined the coevolution between 12 genomic and two lifestyle traits: pathogenicity and insect association. We found that pathogens tend to evolve a larger number of protein-coding genes, tRNA genes, and have larger non-repetitive genome sizes than non-pathogenic species. In contrast, species with a pathogenic or symbiotic relationship with insects have smaller genome sizes and genes with longer exons; they also have fewer genes if they are vectored by insects, compared to species not associated with insects. Our study demonstrates that pathogen genome size and complexity are the result of an interplay between drift, imposed by symbiosis and small effective population size, which leads to genome contraction, and the adaptive role of gene amplification, which leads to genome expansion.

Abstract

Microbial interactions contribute to shape ecosystems and their functions. The interplay between microorganisms also shapes the evolutionary trajectory of each species, by imposing metabolic and physiological selective pressures. The mechanisms underlying these interactions are thus of interest to improve our understanding of microbial evolution at the genetic level. Here we applied a functional genomics approach in the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to identify the fitness determinants of naïve biotic interactions. We used a barcoded prototroph yeast deletion collection to perform pooled fitness competitions in co-culture with seven Pseudomonas spp natural isolates. We found that co-culture had a positive impact on fitness profiles, as in general the deleterious effects of loss of function in our nutrient-poor media were mitigated. In total, 643 genes showed a fitness difference in co-culture, most of which can be explained by a media diversification procured by bacterial metabolism. However, a large fraction (36%) of gene-microbe interactions could not be recaptured in cell-free supernatant experiments, showcasing that feedback mechanisms or physical contacts modulate these interactions. Also, the gene list of some co-cultures was enriched with homologs in other eukaryote species, suggesting a variable degree of specificity underlying the mechanisms of biotic interactions and that these interactions could also exist in other organisms. Our results illustrate how microbial interactions can contribute to shape the interplay between genomes and species interactions, and that S. cerevisiae is a powerful model to study the impact of biotic interactions.

Abstract

Biological systems can gain complexity over time. While some of these transitions are likely driven by natural selection, the extent to which they occur without providing an adaptive benefit is unknown. At the molecular level, one example is heteromeric complexes replacing homomeric ones following gene duplication. Here, we build a biophysical model and simulate the evolution of homodimers and heterodimers following gene duplication using distributions of mutational effects inferred from available protein structures. We keep the specific activity of each dimer identical, so their concentrations drift neutrally in the absence of new functions. We show that for more than 60% of tested dimer structures, the relative concentration of the heteromer increases over time due to mutational biases that favor the heterodimer. However, allowing mutational effects on synthesis rates and differences in the specific activity of homodimers and heterodimers can limit or reverse the observed bias toward heterodimers. Our results show that the accumulation of more complex protein quaternary structures is likely under neutral evolution, and that natural selection would be needed to reverse this tendency.

Abstract

Whole genome duplication (WGD) followed by speciation allows us to examine the parallel evolution of ohnolog pairs. In the yeast family Saccharomycetaceae, HRR25 is a rare case of repeated ohnolog maintenance. This gene has reverted to a single copy in S. cerevisiae where it is now essential, but has been maintained as pairs in at least 7 species post WGD. In S. cerevisiae, HRR25 encodes the casein kinase (CK) 1δ/ε and plays a role in a variety of functions through its kinase activity and protein-protein interactions (PPIs). We hypothesized that the maintenance of duplicated HRR25 ohnologs could be a result of repeated subfunctionalization. We tested this hypothesis through a functional complementation assay in S. cerevisiae, testing all pairwise combinations of 25 orthologs (including 7 ohnolog pairs). Contrary to our expectations, we observed no cases of pair-dependent complementation, which would have supported the subfunctionalization hypothesis. Instead, most post-WGD species have one ohnolog that failed to complement, suggesting their nonfunctionalization or neofunctionalization. The ohnologs incapable of complementation have undergone more rapid protein evolution, lost most PPIs that were observed for their functional counterparts and singletons from post and non-WGD species, and have non-conserved cellular localization, consistent with their ongoing loss of function. The analysis in N. castelli shows that the non-complementing ohnolog is expressed at a lower level and has become non-essential. Taken together, our results indicate that HRR25 orthologs are undergoing gradual nonfunctionalization.

Abstract

Protein-protein interactions drive many cellular processes. Some interactions are directed by Src homology 3 (SH3) domains that bind proline-rich motifs on other proteins. The evolution of the binding specificity of SH3 domains is not completely understood, particularly following gene duplication. Paralogous genes accumulate mutations that can modify protein functions and, for SH3 domains, their binding preferences. Here, we examined how the binding of the SH3 domains of two paralogous yeast type I myosins, Myo3 and Myo5, evolved following duplication. We found that the paralogs have subtly different SH3-dependent interaction profiles. However, by swapping SH3 domains between the paralogs and characterizing the SH3 domains freed from their protein context, we find that very few of the differences in interactions, if any, depend on the SH3 domains themselves. We used ancestral sequence reconstruction to resurrect the pre-duplication SH3 domains and examined, moving back in time, how the binding preference changed. Although the closest ancestor of the two domains had a very similar binding preference as the extant ones, older ancestral domains displayed a gradual loss of interaction with the modern interaction partners when inserted in the extant paralogs. Molecular docking and experimental characterization of the free ancestral domains showed that their affinity with the proline motifs is likely not the cause for this loss of binding. Taken together, our results suggest that the SH3 and its host protein could create intramolecular or allosteric interactions essential for the SH3-dependent PPIs, making domains not functionally equivalent even when they have the same binding specificity.

Abstract

Pathogenic fungi are a cause of growing concern. Developing an efficient and safe antifungal is challenging because of the similar biological properties of fungal and host cells. Consequently, there is an urgent need to better understand the mechanisms underlying antifungal resistance to prolong the efficacy of current molecules. A major step in this direction would be to be able to predict or even prevent the acquisition of resistance. We leverage the power of experimental evolution to quantify the diversity of paths to resistance to the antifungal 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC), commercially known as flucytosine. We generated hundreds of independent 5-FC resistant mutants derived from two genetic backgrounds from wild isolates of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Through automated pin-spotting, whole-genome and amplicon sequencing, we identified the most likely causes of resistance for most strains. Approximately a third of all resistant mutants evolved resistance through a pleiotropic drug response, a potentially novel mechanism in response to 5-FC, marked by cross-resistance to fluconazole. These cross-resistant mutants are characterized by a loss of respiration and a strong tradeoff in drug-free media. For the majority of the remaining two thirds, resistance was acquired through loss-of-function mutations in FUR1, which encodes an important enzyme in the metabolism of 5-FC. We describe conditions in which mutations affecting this particular step of the metabolic pathway are favored over known resistance mutations affecting a step upstream, such as the well-known target cytosine deaminase encoded by FCY1. This observation suggests that ecological interactions may dictate the identity of resistance hotspots.

Abstract

Transposable elements (TEs) are major contributors to structural genomic variation by creating interspersed duplications of themselves. In return, structural variants (SVs) can affect the genomic distribution of TE copies and shape their load. One long-standing hypothesis states that hybridization could trigger TE mobilization and thus increase TE load in hybrids. We previously tested this hypothesis by performing a large-scale evolution experiment by mutation accumulation (MA) on multiple hybrid genotypes within and between wild populations of the yeasts Saccharomyces paradoxus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Using aggregate measures of TE load with short-read sequencing, we found no evidence for TE load increase in hybrid MA lines. Here, we resolve the genomes of the hybrid MA lines with long-read phasing and assembly to precisely characterize the role of SVs in shaping the TE landscape. Highly contiguous phased assemblies of 127 MA lines revealed that SV types like polyploidy, aneuploidy and loss of heterozygosity have large impacts on the TE load. We characterized 18 de novo TE insertions, indicating that transposition only has a minor role in shaping the TE landscape in MA lines. Because the scarcity of TE mobilization in MA lines provided insufficient resolution to confidently dissect transposition rate variation in hybrids, we adapted an in vivo assay to measure transposition rates in various S. paradoxus hybrid backgrounds. We found that transposition rates are not increased by hybridization, but are modulated by many genotype-specific factors including initial TE load, TE sequence variants and mitochondrial DNA inheritance. Our results show the multiple scales at which TE load is shaped in hybrid genomes, being highly impacted by SV dynamics and finely modulated by genotype-specific variation in transposition rates.

Abstract

How changes in the different steps of protein synthesis—transcription, translation and degradation—contribute to differences of protein abundance among genes is not fully understood. There is however accumulating evidence that transcriptional divergence might have a prominent role. Here, we show that yeast paralogous genes are more divergent in transcription than in translation. We explore two causal mechanisms for this predominance of transcriptional divergence: an evolutionary trade-off between the precision and economy of gene expression and a larger mutational target size for transcription. Performing simulations within a minimal model of post-duplication evolution, we find that both mechanisms are consistent with the observed divergence patterns. We also investigate how additional properties of the effects of mutations on gene expression, such as their asymmetry and correlation across levels of regulation, can shape the evolution of paralogs. Our results highlight the importance of fully characterizing the distributions of mutational effects on transcription and translation. They also show how general trade-offs in cellular processes and mutation bias can have far-reaching evolutionary impacts.

Abstract

Mitochondria have a central role in cellular functions, aging, and in certain diseases. They possess their own genome, a vestige of their bacterial ancestor. Over the course of evolution, most of the genes of the ancestor have been lost or transferred to the nucleus. In humans, the mtDNA is a very small circular molecule with a functional repertoire limited to only 37 genes. Its extremely compact nature with genes arranged one after the other and separated by short non-coding regions suggests that there is little room for evolutionary novelties. This is radically different from bacterial genomes, which are also circular but much larger, and in which we can find genes inside other genes. These sequences, different from the reference coding sequences, are called alternatives open reading frames or altORFs, and they are involved in key biological functions. However, whether altORFs exist in mitochondrial protein-coding genes or elsewhere in the human mitogenome has not been fully addressed. We found a downstream alternative ATG initiation codon in the + 3 reading frame of the human mitochondrial nd4 gene. This newly characterized altORF encodes a 99-amino-acid-long polypeptide, MTALTND4, which is conserved in primates. Our custom antibody, but not the pre-immune serum, was able to immunoprecipitate MTALTND4 from HeLa cell lysates, confirming the existence of an endogenous MTALTND4 peptide. The protein is localized in mitochondria and cytoplasm and is also found in the plasma, and it impacts cell and mitochondrial physiology. Many human mitochondrial translated ORFs might have so far gone unnoticed. By ignoring mtaltORFs, we have underestimated the coding potential of the mitogenome. Alternative mitochondrial peptides such as MTALTND4 may offer a new framework for the investigation of mitochondrial functions and diseases.

Abstract

The biophysical properties of the cytoplasm are major determinants of key cellular processes and adaptation. Many yeasts produce dormant spores that can withstand extreme conditions. We show that spores of Saccharomyces cerevisiae exhibit extraordinary biophysical properties, including a highly viscous and acidic cytosol. These conditions alter the solubility of more than 100 proteins such as metabolic enzymes that become more soluble as spores transit to active cell proliferation upon nutrient repletion. A key regulator of this transition is the heat shock protein, Hsp42, which shows transient solubilization and phosphorylation, and is essential for the transformation of the cytoplasm during germination. Germinating spores therefore return to growth through the dissolution of protein assemblies, orchestrated in part by Hsp42 activity. The modulation of spores’ molecular properties are likely key adaptive features of their exceptional survival capacities.
