Genetic screen to identify SIT4 regulates nuclear responses induced in mct1Δ cells.

(A, B) Heat map visualizing selected gene expression between wild-type (WT) and mct1Δ using transcriptomics data from Berg et al., 2023. Gene expression was measured at 0, 3, and 12 hr after switching from glucose containing media to raffinose containing media. Genes in red and blue font were measured in the qPCR experiment shown in Figure 1A and B. All electron transport chain (ETC) and ATP synthase subunits and genes involved in acetyl-coA production are shown if they passed the detection and analysis criteria. (C) Schematic of the genetic screen. The coding sequences of CIT2 and BTT1 were replaced with Firefly luciferase and Renilla luciferase, respectively. CIT2 and BTT1 genes were restored at the HO locus to avoid any transcriptional alterations induced by their deletion. This query strain was then crossed with a deletion library, sporulated, and selected for double mutants in haploid (mct1ΔxxxΔ, where xxxΔ signifies the variable genes being deleted in the screen). Candidate genes were identified based on their ability to restore transcription back to wild-type levels of the Firefly:Renilla signal ratio. (D) Venn diagram of all the candidate mutants from the genetic screen. The genes listed inside the Venn diagram represent individual knockout strains. The genes (DLD3, CAT2, ADH2, and YAT1) above the Venn diagram indicate transcript that were used as indicators as measured by RT-qPCR. Genes listed outside the Venn diagram failed to reduce any of the indicator transcripts’ expression when deleted. (E) Individual colonies of mct1Δ cells were mated with rho0 cells and streaked onto a synthetic media supplemented with 2% glucose plate (SD) and then replica-plated onto a synthetic media supplemented with 2% glycerol plate (SG) to test for the presence of functional mtDNA. (F, G) Wild-type (WT), mct1Δ, sit4Δ, and mct1Δ sit4Δ strains expressing Tom70-GFP from its endogenous locus were stained with MitoTracker Red and imaged. 30–90 cells were captured for each analysis. Mitochondrial membrane potential was determined by quantification of the MitoTracker Red signal that co-localized with Tom70-GFP. Mitochondrial area was calculated by the percentage of Tom70-GFP signal in total cell area. n = 3. Error bars represent the SD.
