Active Ras2 in mitochondria promotes regulated cell death in a cAMP/PKA pathway-dependent manner in budding yeast.
FEBS letters(2023)
摘要
Previously, we showed that an aberrant accumulation of activated Ras in mitochondria correlates with an increase in apoptosis. In this article, we show that lack of trehalose-6P-synthase, known to trigger apoptosis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, induces localization of active Ras proteins in mitochondria, confirming the above-mentioned correlation. Next, by characterizing the ras1Δ and ras2Δ mutants, we show that active Ras2 proteins, which accumulate in the mitochondria following addition of acetic acid (a pro-apoptotic stimulus), are likely the GTPases involved in regulated cell death, while active Ras1 proteins, constitutively localized in mitochondria, might be involved in a pro-survival molecular machinery. Finally, by characterizing the gpa2Δ and cyr1Δ mutants, in which the cAMP/PKA pathway is compromised, we show that active mitochondrial Ras proteins promote apoptosis through the cAMP/PKA pathway.
