Efficient induction of ADH2 upon glucose starvation requires the SNF5 glutamine-rich low-complexity sequence with native histidines.
(A) Sequence of the N-terminal low-complexity domain of SNF5. This domain was deleted in the ΔQsnf5 strain. The glutamine-rich domain is highlighted in orange. The 4/7 histidines that were mutated to alanine in the HtoASNF5 allele are highlighted in red. (B) The log2 of the frequency of each amino acid within QLCs divided by the global frequency of each amino acid in the proteome (S. cerevisiae). Values > 0 indicate enrichment in QLCs. (C) Left: schematic of the SWI/SNF complex engaged with a nucleosome. The SNF5 C-terminus is shown in gray, while the disordered N-terminal QLC is shown in orange. Right: schematic of the three main SNF5 alleles used in this study. (D) RT-qPCR results assessing levels of endogenous ADH2 mRNA in four strains grown in glucose (left) or after 4 hr of glucose starvation (right). Note: y-axes are different for each plot. (E) Representative histograms (10,000 cells) showing the fluorescent signal from a PADH2-mCherry reporter gene for four strains grown in glucose (left) or after 6 hr of glucose starvation (right). Statistical tests are Bonferroni-corrected t-tests, *p<0.05, **p<0.01, n.s., not significant.
Figure 1—figure supplement 1
The SWI/SNF complex has 10/11 subunits with significant disorder.
Fractional disorder in each of the core 11 SWI/SNF components. Dashed red lines represent 25% and 50% disorder. 5 of the 11 components contain over 25% disorders. Disorder prediction performed using metapredict (see Materials and methods).
Figure 1—figure supplement 2
Identification and analysis of glutamine-rich low-complexity sequences (QLCs).
(A) Example of a QLC region with the criteria that define QLCs annotated: QLCs were defined as subregions of the proteome in which they have an average fraction of glutamine residues of 25% or higher (minimum fraction, e.g., here 40%), the maximum interruption between any two glutamine residues is less than 17 residues (e.g., here 11 residues), and the whole QLC is at least 15 residues in length (minimum length, e.g., here 46). (B–D) Computational analysis used to select the interruption length criterion for QLC identification. Systematic variation revealed that a maximum interruption disruption length of 17 residues optimized the number of QLCs identified (B) and the number of residues found within QLCs (C), offering an optimally permissive value under the 0.25 or greater fraction of glutamine threshold. (D) Number of residues in QLCs vs. number of QLCs shows that an interruption length of 17 sits at an optimum for both parameters. (E) Histogram of the number of histidine residues within S. cerevisiae QLCs (n = 144). (F) Most QLCs contain relatively few histidine, but a small fraction contain five or more.

(A) Enrichment of each amino acid in QLCs compared to global amino acid frequencies in each proteome. (B) Enrichment of each amino acid in QLCs compared to amino acid frequencies in all low-complexity sequences identified using Wootton–Federhen complexity (see Materials and methods).

The SNF5 N-terminal glutamine-rich low-complexity domain (with embedded histidines) is broadly conserved across Ascomycota.
(A) Analysis of SNF5 N-terminal region showing conservation (black), disorder (red), glutamine positions (green), histidine positions (blue), histidines that are mutated (orange), and the QLC (shaded green area). Four histidine residues are highlighted, which, when mutated to alanine, lead to a phenotypic change. Intriguingly, these four histidines are located in highly disordered and poorly conserved subregions of the SNF5 N-terminal region. (B) The same analysis for 19 ascomycetes. (C) Phylogeny of ascomycetes analyzed above, with the total number of QLCs identified in each proteome shown to the right.
Figure 1—figure supplement 5
The SNF5 N-terminal glutamine-rich low-complexity domain was probably gained in the fungal lineage.
Broad orthologs of SNF5 were determined using the more conserved C-terminal domain. These orthologs were analyzed, and if QLCs were detected, the number of residues within is plotted in the bar graph to the right. The Ascomycota and Basidiomycota both have QLCs, possibly indicating gain of the domain in this lineage. There is no evidence of SNF5 QLCs in the Metazoa (animals) or in the closest outgroup to the Metazoa (Choanoflagellates, i.e., Monosiga brevicollis). The slime mold amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum has an SNF5 QLC, but this organism is extremely rich in glutamine repeats, and it is not clear that this QLC has the same origin as the fungal clade.
Figure 1—figure supplement 6
The SNF5 QLC is important for recovery from carbon starvation.
Growth rate was assessed in a plate reader in various conditions. (A) Comparison of growth rate of WT, ΔQsnf5, HtoAsnf5, and snf5Δ strains in synthetic complete media with glucose. (B) Cells were grown to log phase, carbon-starved for 24 hr, and then grown in 2% glucose. (C, D) Cells were immediately switched from glucose to poor carbon sources. (E, F) Cells were subjected to acute starvation for 24 hr and then switched to poor carbon sources.
Figure 1—figure supplement 7
Mutation of the SNF5 QLC does not lead to protein degradation or loss of SWI/SNF complex integrity.
(A) The entire SWI/SNF complex copurifies with SNF2 in all strains and conditions. The endogenous SNF2 gene was tandem affinity purification (TAP)-tagged at the C-terminus and used to immunoprecipitate the SWI/SNF complex from WT, ΔQsnf5, or HtoAsnf5 strains either exponentially growing in glucose or after 4 hr acute carbon starvation in media titrated to pHe 5 or 7.4 (indicated at bottom). A silver stain of an SDS-PAGE analysis is shown. (B) Neither SNF5 nor its mutant alleles are degraded upon glucose starvation. Western blots of the TAP-tagged SNF5 alleles in various conditions (indicated at bottom). TAP-tagged ΔQ-snf5 runs at ~110 kDa, 288 amino acids smaller than WT (~160 kDa). An anti-glucokinase antibody was used as a loading control (bottom band at ~50 kDa).

Figure 1—figure supplement 8
Efficient recruitment of the SWI/SNF complex to the ADH2 promoter depends upon pH, the SNF5 QLC and histidines within.
The endogenous SNF2 gene was tandem affinity purification (TAP)-tagged at the C-terminus and used to immunoprecipitate the SWI/SNF complex from WT, ΔQsnf5, or HtoAsnf5 strains. Prior to immunoprecipitation, chromatin and proteins were crosslinked with formaldehyde, enabling co-purification of chromatin associated with the SWI/SNF complex (chromatin immunoprecipitation [ChIP]). Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was then performed with primers specific to the ADH2 promoter. The y-axis shows the difference in qPCR signal in strains grown in glucose minus the signal after 4 hr of acute carbon starvation. Values greater than 1 indicate recruitment of SWI/SNF to the ADH2 promoter upon carbon starvation. Experiments were performed in media titrated to pHe 5 or 7.4 (indicated on the x-axis). n = 3, standard deviation is shown.

The SNF5 QLC and embedded histidines are required for efficient ADH2 induction upon carbon starvation.
(A) Schematic of the PADH2-mCherry reporter gene: the reporter construct was integrated into the endogenous ADH2 locus, resulting in a tandem repeat of the reporter gene followed and an intact ADH2 gene. (B) Sequence of the SNF5 N-terminus with the 4/7 histidines that were mutated in the 4HtoAsnf5 allele highlighted as red on yellow, and the additional two histidines that were mutated in the 6HtoAsnf5 allele highlighted as purple on yellow. (C) PADH2-mCherry induction during carbon starvation assessed by fluorescence cytometry, normalized to the maximal induction (median mCherry fluorescence at 24 hr in SNF5 WT strains). (D) The fraction of the cells that induce PADH2-mCherry induction at each time point during carbon starvation (see Materials and methods). The SNF5 alleles compared are WT, ΔQsnf5, 4HtoAsnf5 (referred to in the rest of the article as simply HtoAsnf5), and the 6HtoAsnf5 strains with an additional two histidines (6/7 total) mutated to alanine. There is no significant difference between the 4HtoAsnf5 and 6HtoAsnf5 strains in these experiments. Mean and standard deviation are shown in each plot.

(A–C) Representative calibration curves to determine the ratio of fluorescence intensities at 405 and 488 nm in cells adjusted to a known pH by ATP depletion and permeabilization in buffers. The fluorescence properties of WT and mutant strains were slightly different; therefore, calibration curves were calculated for each strain: (A) WT, (B) ΔQsnf5, and (C)HtoAsnf5. (D) Shows representative scatterplots of fluorescence intensity obtained by cytometry from the WT strain.
Figure 2—figure supplement 2
Cells that fail to induce PADH2-mCherry had lower fitness relative to the inducing population.
6 hr after acute carbon starvation, we used fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) to separate equal numbers of cells with high (induced) and low (uninduced) mCherry fluorescence. (A, B) Uninduced cells (dashed lines) have lower growth rates than induced cells (solid lines). Black lines indicate WT strains, orange indicates ΔQsnf5 cells. (A) Comparison of growth rates in rich (2% glucose) media. (B) Comparison of growth rates in poor (2% galactose) media. (C) Uninduced cells have lower resistance to heat stress. Cells were subjected to heat shock for 15 min at 42°C followed by 3 min on ice, and then plated for single colonies. The number of colonies relative to unperturbed cells is plotted as % viability. Mean and standard deviation are shown, n = 3; statistical test is the Student’s t-test, **p<0.01.

The SNF5 QLC mediates a pH-sensitive transcription factor interaction in vitro.
(A) Schematic: a Cy3 donor fluorophore was attached to one end of the DNA, and the histone H2A C-termini were labeled with a Cy5 acceptor fluorophore. ATP-dependent mobilization of the nucleosome to the DNA increases Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), leading to increased emission at 670 nm. (B) Representative kinetic traces for WT (B), ΔQsnf5p (C), and HtoAsnf5 (D) SWI/SNF complexes at pH 7.6 (blue), 7.0 (green), or 6.5 (orange). There is no competitor DNA, so these traces indicate intrinsic remodeling activity without requirement for recruitment by transcription factors. (E) Schematic: in the presence of excess competitor DNA, SWI/SNF-dependent remodeling requires recruitment by a transcription factor (Gal4-VP16). (D) Representative kinetic traces for WT (F), ΔQsnf5p (G), and HtoAsnf5 (H) SWI/SNF complexes at pH 7.6 (blue), 7.0 (green), or 6.5 (orange). Inset on the WT panel (F) shows the first 100 s of the assay after ATP addition. All traces are averages of 2–4 experiments and represent FRET normalized to values prior to addition of ATP.

(A) Electron microscopy structure of SWI/SNF (gray) bound to a nucleosome (DNA blue, histones green; PDB ID: 7C4J). The position of SNF5 is highlighted in coral. Rough positions of QLCs are depicted in orange, and large low-complexity sequences are shown in cyan. (B) Electron microscopy structure of human BAF complex (gray) bound to a nucleosome (DNA blue, histones green; PDB ID: 6LTJ). The position of ARID1B is highlighted in coral. Rough positions of large low-complexity domains are depicted in cyan, two of which contain short QLCs (indicated in orange). In both cases, top views only highlight sequences that are proximal to the DNA exiting the nucleosome (potential transcription-factor binding site). (C, D) Schematics showing predicted low-complexity sequence (orange), including regions enriched for particular amino acids (gray, or green for QLCs). (C) shows SWI/SNF subunits and (D) shows BAF subunits. Orthology between SWI/SNF and BAF subunits is indicated by gray double-headed arrows.

Protonation of histidines leads to conformational expansion of the SNF5 QLC.
(A) Schematic of the SNF5 gene (center) with the N-terminal QLC in orange and the two simulated peptides in dark orange. Sequences of the simulated peptides and identities of histidines mutated in both the HtoAsnf5 yeast strain and in simulations are indicated. (B) Representative images of conformations sampled in Monte Carlo all-atom simulations. (C) Cartoon depicting quantification of radius of gyration (Rg). (D) Radius of gyration (Rg, y-axis) of simulations of amino acids 71–120 of the SNF5 QLC with histidines either neutral (pH 7.4) or protonated (pH 5.0). Left two datasets are for the native peptide, right two datasets are with 2/3 histidines (H106 and H109) replaced with alanine, mimicking the HtoAsnf5 allele. Points represent the mean Rg from all conformations sampled in each independent simulation (beginning from distinct random initial conformers). Bars represent the mean values of all simulations. (E) Model of SWI/SNF regulation during carbon starvation. (Top) In glucose (pHi ~ 7.8), the SNF5 QLC is unprotonated. SWI/SNF is engaged by transcription factors that prevent transcription of glucose repressed genes or that activate other genes (TFA). (Middle) Upon acute carbon starvation, pHi drops to ~6.5, leading to protonation of histidines in the SNF5 QLC. Conformational expansion of the QLC may aid the release of SWI/SNF from some transcription factors (TFA) and potentially drive recruitment to others (not shown). (Bottom) As the cell adapts to carbon starvation, pHi neutralizes to ~7.0. Histidines within the SNF5 QLC may be partially protonated? The pKa of histidine is highly context-dependent. The QLC may aid recruitment of SWI/SNF to the promoters of glucose-repressed genes, thus leading to their expression.

(B) Radius of gyration (Rg, y-axis) of all-atom Monte Carlo simulations of amino acids 195–233 of the SNF5 QLC with histidines either neutral (pH 7.4) or protonated (pH 5.0). Left two datasets are for the native peptide, right two datasets are with 2/3 histidines (H213 and H214) replaced with alanine, mimicking the HtoASNF5 allele. Points represent the mean Rg from all conformations sampled in each independent simulation (beginning from distinct random initial conformers). Bars represent the mean values of all simulations. p-Values are from two-sided independent t-tests.
