14-3-3 proteins are highly conserved and have been found in all eukaryotic organisms investigated. They are involved in many varied cellular processes, and interact with hundreds of other proteins. Among many other roles in cells, yeast 14-3-3 proteins have been implicated in rapamycin-mediated cell signalling. We determined the transcription profiles of bmh1 and bmh2 yeast after treatment with rapamycin. We found that, under these conditions, BMH1 and BMH2 are required for rapamycin-induced regulation of distinct, but overlapping sets of genes. Both Bmh1 and Bmh2 associate with the promoters of at least some of these genes. BMH2, but not BMH1, attenuates the repression of genes involved in some functions required for ribosome biogenesis. BMH2 also attenuates the activation of genes sensitive to nitrogen catabolite repression.

Macroautophagy/autophagy is essential for maintaining glucose homeostasis, but the mechanisms by which cells sense glucose starvation and initiate autophagy are not yet fully understood. Recently, we reported that the assembly of a Ca-triggered Snf1-Bmh1/Bmh2-Atg11 complex initiates autophagy in response to glucose starvation. Our research reveals that during glucose starvation, the efflux of vacuolar Ca increases cytoplasmic Ca levels, which activates the protein kinase Rck2.

The 14-3-3 family of proteins are conserved across eukaryotes and serve myriad important regulatory functions in the cell. Homo- and hetero-dimers of these proteins mainly recognize their ligands via conserved motifs to modulate the localization and functions of those effector ligands. In most of the genetic backgrounds of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, disruption of both 14-3-3 homologs (Bmh1 and Bmh2) are either lethal or cells survive with severe growth defects, including gross chromosomal missegregation and prolonged cell cycle arrest.

Cell signaling regulates several physiological processes by receiving, processing, and transmitting signals between the extracellular and intracellular environments. In signal transduction, phosphorylation is a crucial effector as the most common posttranslational modification. Selectively recognizing specific phosphorylated motifs of target proteins and modulating their functions through binding interactions, the yeast 14-3-3 proteins Bmh1 and Bmh2 are involved in catabolite repression, carbon metabolism, endocytosis, and mitochondrial retrograde signaling, among other key cellular processes.

Previous work has defined the Rim4 C-terminal low-complexity domain (LCD) as sequences that form self-propagating amyloid-like aggregates. Here, we uncovered a dynamic and reversible form of Rim4 self-assembly primarily triggered by heat during meiosis, proportionally from 30°C to 42°C.

In , macroautophagy/autophagy plays a pivotal role and is indispensable for multiple meiotic processes. In this study, we demonstrate that Rim4, a meiosis-specific RNA-binding protein (RBP) that holds back the translation of a specific subset of meiotic transcripts until its programmed degradation by autophagy during meiotic divisions, forms a heterotrimeric complex with the yeast YWHA/14-3-3 proteins Bmh1 and Bmh2, which effectively expels mRNAs from Rim4's binding grip. We pinpoint four distinct Bmh1 and Bhm2 binding sites (BBSs) in the Rim4 structure, with two of them nestled within the RNA recognition motifs (RRMs).
