Schematic representation of the yeast pyridine and purine biosynthesis pathways.

(A) NAD+ de novo and salvage pathways in yeast. NaAD+: nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide; NADP: nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate; NaMN: nicotinic acid mononucleotide; Pi: inorganic phosphate; PPi: pyrophosphate and PRPP: 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate. (B) Purine de novo and salvage pathways in yeast. AICAR: 5-amino-4-imidazole carboxamide ribonucleoside; IMP: inosine 5’-mono-phosphate; SZMP: succinyl-ZMP and ZMP: 5-amino-4-imidazole carboxamide ribonucleotide 5′-phosphate. Red arrows illustrate the (S)ZMP-dependent Bas1/Pho2 interaction leading to the transcriptional regulation of their target genes. IMP conversion onto either AMP or GMP is common to the de novo and salvage pathways (green box). (A–B) Only the proteins mentioned in the text are shown (in pink).

Chemical structure of NAD+.

Colored areas highlight the precursor metabolites in the NAD+ backbone. Pink area: Pyridine ring coming from tryptophan (via the pyridine de novo pathway), nicotinic acid and/or nicotinamide (via the pyridine salvage pathway). Yellow area: Ribose phosphate moiety resulting from 5-phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP) incorporation by phosphoribosyl transferases. Orange area: Adenine nucleotide part arising from ATP incorporation at the step catalyzed by the nicotinic acid mononucleotide transferases.

NAD+precursors and biosynthesis intermediates respond to variations in extracellular purine availability.

The prototrophic wild-type strain FY4 was kept in exponential phase for 24 hr in SDcasaWU medium supplemented (red dots) or not (blue dots) with extracellular adenine. Metabolites were then extracted and separated by liquid chromatography. Quantifications were determined on independent metabolite extractions (Biological replicates; N ≥ 5) and standard deviation is presented. For each metabolite, the amount measured in cells grown in the presence of adenine (red dots) was set at 1. Numbers on the top of each panel correspond to the p-value calculated from a Welch’s unpaired t-test.

(A) Heat-map representation of the expression of the pyridine pathway genes. Results were extracted from our previously reported microarray analyses (Hürlimann et al., 2011; Pinson et al., 2009). Raw data are available at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc= GSE13275 and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/queryacc.cgi?acc=GSE29324. (B) Kinetic analysis of ADE17, PHO84 and BNA genes expression in a wild-type and a bas1 pho2 double mutant upon adenine depletion. Wild-type (BY4742) and bas1 pho2 mutant (Y1487) cells were grown in SDcasaWU + adenine medium, centrifuged for 2 min at 3500 g, washed twice with SDcasaWU and re-suspended in the same medium lacking adenine (time 0). Aliquots were taken at indicated times, total RNA were extracted and gene expression was monitored by Northern blotting (N ≥ 2). Images shown correspond to one representative experiment. (C–D) Bna4 and Bna6 proteins are more abundant in adenine-depleted conditions in wild-type cells (C) but not in the absence of the Bas1 and Pho2 transcription factors (D). (C) Wild-type cells harboring either ADE4 (Y11325), BNA4 (Y11328), or BNA6 (Y11327) -GFP fusion at the corresponding gene locus were exponentially grown for 24 hr in SDcasaWU medium supplemented (+) or not (-) with adenine. (D) Wild-type, bas1 and pho2 yeast strains harboring either ADE4 (Y11325, Y11885 and Y11879), BNA4 (Y11328, Y11894 and Y118887) or BNA6 (Y11327, Y11885 and Y11890) -GFP fusion at the corresponding gene locus were exponentially grown for 24 hr in SDcasaWAU medium, filtered and then shifted for 2 hr in SDcasaWU medium. (C–D) Total proteins were extracted, separated by SDS-PAGE, electro-transferred and revealed by western-blotting using anti-GFP (1/500 (C); 1/2,500 (D)), anti-Ade13 (1/1200,000) and anti-Pgk1 (1/50,000) antibodies.

(S)ZMP-increase is sufficient to stimulate the NAD+ de novo pathway.

(A–F) (S)ZMP accumulation in the ade16 ade17 mutant is associated to a significant increase in NAD+ de novo pathway intermediates. Wild-type (BY4742, red dots), ade16 ade17 (Y1162, green dots) and ade16 ade17 ade8 his1 (quad; Y2950, grey dots) were grown in SDcasaWAU medium. (G– L) Accumulation of ZMP achieved by external AICAR addition correlates with increasing amounts of NAD+ de novo pathway intermediates. The ade16 ade17 ade8 his1 quadruple mutant strain (Y2950) was grown in SDcasaWAU medium and incubated for 24 hr with indicated amounts of AICAR prior to metabolite extraction. (M–N) (S)ZMP accumulation has no significant effect on NAD+ and nicotinic acid levels when the salvage pathway is active. NAD+ and nicotinic acid levels were determined from the experiment described in Figure 5A–F. (O–Q) Upregulation of the purine de novo pathway in the absence of adenine, when (S)ZMP is high, results in higher intracellular NAD+ only when the pyridine salvage pathway is inactivated. Wild-type (BY4742) and npt1 knock-out (Y5581) strains were exponentially grown for 24 hr in SDcasaWU medium ±Adenine. (A–F, M–Q) Quantifications were determined from independent metabolite extractions (N = 5). Error bars correspond to standard deviation and indicated p-values were calculated from a Welch’s t-test.

Figure 8 with 1 supplement
Yeast co-regulates purine and pyridine metabolism in response to adenine through two mechanisms.

(A–D) The Nma1-bottleneck for NAD+ synthesis operates under physiological conditions. A prototrophic strain (FY4) was grown in SDcasaWU medium lacking (blue dots) or not (red dots) adenine. Values obtained in the presence of adenine (red dots) were set at one for each metabolite. Quantifications were determined from independent metabolite extractions (N ≥ 7). Standard deviation is presented and a Welch’s t-test was used to calculate the indicated p-values. (E–F) Model of NAD+ synthesis rerouting in response to extracellular adenine availability. The thickness of lines and arrows refers to the intensity of signaling or flux in metabolic pathways. For each metabolite, the font-size reflects variation of its intracellular content.

Modulation of adenine on NAD+biosynthesis operates in the absence of a functional de novo pathway.

Pyridine salvage intermediate levels were determined in a bna2 mutant strain (Y11838) exponentially grown for 24 hr in SDcasaWU medium lacking (blue dots) or not (red dots) adenine. Values obtained in the presence of adenine (red dots) were set at 1. Quantifications were determined from independent metabolite extractions (N ≥ 8). Standard deviation is presented and indicated p-values were calculated using a Welch’s t-test.
