Shs1 plays separable roles in septin organization and cytokinesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Masayuki Iwase et al. Genetics. 2007 Sep.

Abstract

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, five septins (Cdc3, Cdc10, Cdc11, Cdc12, and Shs1/Sep7) form the septin ring at the bud neck during vegetative growth. We show here that disruption of SHS1 caused cold-sensitive growth in the W303 background, with cells arrested in chains, indicative of a cytokinesis defect. Surprisingly, the other four septins appeared to form an apparently normal septin ring in shs1Delta cells grown under the restrictive condition. We found that Myo1 and Iqg1, two components of the actomyosin contractile ring, and Cyk3, a component of the septum formation, were either delocalized or mislocalized in shs1Delta cells, suggesting that Shs1 plays supportive roles in cytokinesis. We also found that deletion of SHS1 enhanced or suppressed the septin defect in cdc10Delta and cdc11Delta cells, respectively, suggesting that Shs1 is involved in septin organization, exerting different effects on septin-ring assembly, depending on the composition of the septin subunits. Furthermore, we constructed an shs1-100c allele that lacks the coding sequence for the C-terminal 32 amino acids. This allele still displayed the genetic interactions with the septin mutants, but did not show cytokinesis defects as described above, suggesting that the roles of Shs1 in septin organization and cytokinesis are separable.

Phenotype of an _shs1_Δ disruptant. (A) Disruption of SHS1. One of the alleles of SHS1 in W303a/α was replaced with the shs1_Δ_∷HIS3 gene (Masa1). The resulting heterozygous diploid cells were sporulated and dissected. One wild-type and two disruptant segregants were chosen among the segregants and streaked across YPD plates, each of which was incubated at 20° for 4 days, or at 25°, 30°, and 37° for 2 days. (B) Cell morphology of _shs1_Δ cells. The _shs1_Δ cells (Masa2) and wild-type cells (W303a) were cultivated at 30° to midlogarithmic phase and then shifted to 20°. The cultures were incubated for another 6 hr. Bar, 10 μm. (C) Suppression of _shs1_Δ cells by a different septin gene on a multicopy vector. The indicated plasmid (CDC3, pM-9; CDC10, pM-10; CDC11, pM-11; CDC12, pM-12; SHS1, pM-13) was introduced into the _shs1_Δ cells (Masa2). One representative was selected from each transformation experiment and streaked on two SC–Ura plates, one of which was incubated at 20° for 4 days (left) and the other at 30° for 2 days (right). (D) Cell morphology of _shs1_Δ cells carrying CDC11 on a multicopy vector. The indicated plasmid (SHS1, pM-13; CDC11, pM-11; vector, pYO326) was introduced into the _shs1_Δ cells (Masa2). Cells were cultivated at 30° to midlogarithmic phase and then shifted to 20°. The cultures were incubated for another 6 hr. Bar, 10 μm.

A model for the roles of Shs1 in septin organization and cytokinesis. Shs1 exerts different effects on septin organization depending on the subunit compositions of the septin complexes. Shs1 promotes and inhibits septin ring assembly in _cdc10_Δ and _cdc11_Δ cells, respectively. Shs1 lacking the C-terminal 32 amino acids can carry out its function in cytokinesis normally, including the recruitment of the components involved in the actomyosin contractile ring assembly such as Myo1 and Iqg1 as well as those involved in septum formation such as Cyk3. In contrast, the last 32 amino acids of Shs1 are required for its role in septin organization (see text for details).
