Actin-Related Protein 4 and Linker Histone Sustain Yeast Replicative Ageing

Ageing is accompanied by dramatic changes in chromatin structure organization and genome function. Two essential components of chromatin, the linker histone Hho1p and actin-related protein 4 (Arp4p), have been shown to physically interact in <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> cells, thus ma...

description Ageing is accompanied by dramatic changes in chromatin structure organization and genome function. Two essential components of chromatin, the linker histone Hho1p and actin-related protein 4 (Arp4p), have been shown to physically interact in <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> cells, thus maintaining chromatin dynamics and function, as well as genome stability and cellular morphology. Disrupting this interaction has been proven to influence the stability of the yeast genome and the way cells respond to stress during chronological ageing. It has also been proven that the abrogated interaction between these two chromatin proteins elicited premature ageing phenotypes. Alterations in chromatin compaction have also been associated with replicative ageing, though the main players are not well recognized. Based on this knowledge, here, we examine how the interaction between Hho1p and Arp4p impacts the ageing of mitotically active yeast cells. For this purpose, two sets of strains were used—haploids (WT(n), <i>arp4</i>, <i>hho1Δ</i> and <i>arp4 hho1Δ</i>) and their heterozygous diploid counterparts (WT(2n), <i>ARP4</i>/<i>arp4</i>, <i>HHO1</i>/<i>hho1Δ</i> and <i>ARP4 HHO1</i>/<i>arp4 hho1Δ</i>)—for the performance of extensive morphological and physiological analyses during replicative ageing. These analyses included a comparative examination of the yeast cells’ chromatin structure, proliferative and reproductive potential, and resilience to stress, as well as polysome profiles and chemical composition. The results demonstrated that the haploid chromatin mutants <i>arp4</i> and <i>arp4 hho1Δ</i> demonstrated a significant reduction in replicative and total lifespan. These findings lead to the conclusion that the importance of a healthy interaction between Arp4p and Hho1p in replicative ageing is significant. This is proof of the concomitant importance of Hho1p and Arp4p in chronological and replicative ageing.
