Inositol pyrophosphate dynamics in yeast reveals control of the PHO starvation program through 1,5-IP8 and the SPX domain of the CDK inhibitor Pho81

摘要
Eukaryotic cells control cytosolic phosphate to balance its role as essential macronutrient with its negative bioenergetic impacts. Phosphate homeostasis depends on a conserved signaling pathway including inositol pyrophosphates (PP-IPs) and SPX receptor domains. Since cells synthesize various PP-IPs and SPX domains bind them promiscuously, it is unclear whether a specific PP-IP regulates SPX domains in vivo, or whether multiple PP-IPs act as a pool. In contrast to previous models, which postulated that phosphate starvation is signaled by increased 1-IP7 production, we now show that the levels of all detectable PP-IPs of yeast, 1-IP7, 5-IP7 and 1,5-IP8, strongly decline upon phosphate starvation. Among these, specifically the decline of 1,5-IP8 triggers the transcriptional phosphate starvation response, the PHO pathway. 1,5-IP8 inactivates the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor Pho81 through its SPX domain. This stimulates the cyclin-dependent kinase Pho85/Pho80 to phosphorylate the transcription factor Pho4 and repress the PHO pathway. Combining our results with observations from other systems we propose a unified model where 1,5-IP8 signals cytosolic phosphate abundance to SPX proteins in fungi, plants, and mammals. Its absence triggers starvation responses.
