Vacuolar
Biogenesis Mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
From the Department of Microbiology, the University of Alabama at

The vacuole is the major site of intracellular
Ca2+ storage in yeast and functions to maintain
cytosolic Ca2+ levels within a narrow physiological range.
In this study, we examined how cellular Ca2+ homeostasis is
maintained in a vps33
vacuolar biogenesis mutant. We
found that growth of the vps33
strain was sensitive to
high or low extracellular Ca2+. This strain could not
properly regulate cytosolic Ca2+ levels and was able to
retain only a small fraction of its total cellular Ca2+ in
a nonexchangeable intracellular pool. Surprisingly, the
vps33
strain contained more total cellular
Ca2+ than the wild type strain. Because most cellular
Ca2+ is normally found within the vacuole, this suggested
that other intracellular compartments compensated for the reduced
capacity to store Ca2+ within the vacuole of this strain.
To test this hypothesis, we examined the contribution of the
Golgi-localized Ca2+ ATPase Pmr1p in the maintenance of
cellular Ca2+ homeostasis. We found that a
vps33
/pmr1
strain was hypersensitive to high
extracellular Ca2+. In addition, certain combinations of
mutations effecting both vacuolar and Golgi Ca2+ transport
resulted in synthetic lethality. These results indicate that the Golgi
apparatus plays a significant role in maintaining Ca2+
homeostasis when vacuolar biogenesis is compromised.
