    Description: Alpha-synuclein (alphaSyn) misfolding is associated with several devastating neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson's disease (PD). In yeast cells and in neurons alphaSyn accumulation is cytotoxic, but little is known about its normal function or pathobiology. The earliest defect following alphaSyn expression in yeast was a block in endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-to-Golgi vesicular trafficking. In a genomewide screen, the largest class of toxicity modifiers were proteins functioning at this same step, including the Rab guanosine triphosphatase Ypt1p, which associated with cytoplasmic alphaSyn inclusions. Elevated expression of Rab1, the mammalian YPT1 homolog, protected against alphaSyn-induced dopaminergic neuron loss in animal models of PD. Thus, synucleinopathies may result from disruptions in basic cellular functions that interface with the unique biology of particular neurons to make them especially vulnerable.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1983366/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1983366/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cooper, Antony A -- Gitler, Aaron D -- Cashikar, Anil -- Haynes, Cole M -- Hill, Kathryn J -- Bhullar, Bhupinder -- Liu, Kangning -- Xu, Kexiang -- Strathearn, Katherine E -- Liu, Fang -- Cao, Songsong -- Caldwell, Kim A -- Caldwell, Guy A -- Marsischky, Gerald -- Kolodner, Richard D -- Labaer, Joshua -- Rochet, Jean-Christophe -- Bonini, Nancy M -- Lindquist, Susan -- P50 NS038372/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01-HG002923/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 Jul 21;313(5785):324-8.

    Description: Abeta (beta-amyloid peptide) is an important contributor to Alzheimer's disease (AD). We modeled Abeta toxicity in yeast by directing the peptide to the secretory pathway. A genome-wide screen for toxicity modifiers identified the yeast homolog of phosphatidylinositol binding clathrin assembly protein (PICALM) and other endocytic factors connected to AD whose relationship to Abeta was previously unknown. The factors identified in yeast modified Abeta toxicity in glutamatergic neurons of Caenorhabditis elegans and in primary rat cortical neurons. In yeast, Abeta impaired the endocytic trafficking of a plasma membrane receptor, which was ameliorated by endocytic pathway factors identified in the yeast screen. Thus, links between Abeta, endocytosis, and human AD risk factors can be ascertained with yeast as a model system.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3281757/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3281757/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Treusch, Sebastian -- Hamamichi, Shusei -- Goodman, Jessica L -- Matlack, Kent E S -- Chung, Chee Yeun -- Baru, Valeriya -- Shulman, Joshua M -- Parrado, Antonio -- Bevis, Brooke J -- Valastyan, Julie S -- Han, Haesun -- Lindhagen-Persson, Malin -- Reiman, Eric M -- Evans, Denis A -- Bennett, David A -- Olofsson, Anders -- DeJager, Philip L -- Tanzi, Rudolph E -- Caldwell, Kim A -- Caldwell, Guy A -- Lindquist, Susan -- F32 NS067782-02/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- K08 AG034290/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- K08AG034290/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- P30 AG019610/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- P30AG10161/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG015819/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG017917/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01AG15819/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01AG17917/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2011 Dec 2;334(6060):1241-5. doi: 10.1126/science.1213210.

    Description: alpha-Synuclein (alpha-syn) is a small lipid-binding protein implicated in several neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease, whose pathobiology is conserved from yeast to man. There are no therapies targeting these underlying cellular pathologies, or indeed those of any major neurodegenerative disease. Using unbiased phenotypic screens as an alternative to target-based approaches, we discovered an N-aryl benzimidazole (NAB) that strongly and selectively protected diverse cell types from alpha-syn toxicity. Three chemical genetic screens in wild-type yeast cells established that NAB promoted endosomal transport events dependent on the E3 ubiquitin ligase Rsp5/Nedd4. These same steps were perturbed by alpha-syn itself. Thus, NAB identifies a druggable node in the biology of alpha-syn that can correct multiple aspects of its underlying pathology, including dysfunctional endosomal and endoplasmic reticulum-to-Golgi vesicle trafficking.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3993916/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3993916/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tardiff, Daniel F -- Jui, Nathan T -- Khurana, Vikram -- Tambe, Mitali A -- Thompson, Michelle L -- Chung, Chee Yeun -- Kamadurai, Hari B -- Kim, Hyoung Tae -- Lancaster, Alex K -- Caldwell, Kim A -- Caldwell, Guy A -- Rochet, Jean-Christophe -- Buchwald, Stephen L -- Lindquist, Susan -- 5R01GM069530/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- F32GM099817/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- F32NS061419/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- GM58160/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- K01 AG038546/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM058160/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R15 NS075684/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Nov 22;342(6161):979-83. doi: 10.1126/science.1245321.

    Notes: An impediment to the investigation of mammalian spermatogenic meiosis has been the lack of an appropriate system for experimental manipulation of meiotic prophase cells. We report here the use of a simple system for the short-term culture of pachytene spermatocytes. We have assayed parameters of cell function pertinent to meiotic prophase, namely chromosome pairing and synapsis. During the culture period of 24-48 hr, cells maintained typical pachytene morphology, chromatin condensation patterns, and chromosome pairing, as assessed by light and electron microscopy. Uridine incorporation, monitored by autoradiography, reflected the chromosomal distribution found in vivo in that the autosomal chromosomes were transcriptionally active, while the sex chromosomes were not. Thus features of chromosome pairing and sex chromatin inactivation are maintained in these cultures. We have conducted experiments to demonstrate that cultured pachytene spermatocytes can be useful for the analysis of agents, some of which may be suspected mutagens, that might affect chromosome structure and function during meiosis. Treatment of cells with actinomycin D revealed a differential effect on chromatin condensation in the autosomes versus the sex chromosomes. Carnptothecin, a topoisomerase inhibitor, induced desynapsis of paired chromosomes. Okadaic acid, a phosphatase inhibitor, induced premature metaphase-I condensation of pachytene chromosomes. This last experiment suggests that these cultured cells may be useful for analysis of meiotic cell cycle controls. Taken together, these results demonstrate a culture system that can be useful for analysis of meiotic events as well as in screening for potential mutagenic agents that might affect meiotic chromosome structure and function. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
