Across lower eukaryotes, the transcription factor Crz1 is dephosphorylated by calcineurin, which facilitates Crz1 translocation to the nucleus to regulate gene expression. In the fungal pathogen , calcineurin-Crz1 signaling maintains calcium homeostasis, thermotolerance, cell wall integrity, and morphogenesis. How Crz1 distinguishes different stressors and differentially regulates cellular responses is poorly understood. Through monitoring Crz1 subcellular localization over time, we found that Crz1 transiently localizes to granules after exposure to high temperature or calcium. These granules also host the phosphatase calcineurin and Pub1, a ribonucleoprotein stress granule marker, suggesting a role of stress granules in modulating calcineurin-Crz1 signaling. Additionally, we constructed and analyzed an array of Crz1 truncation mutants. We identified the intrinsically disordered regions in Crz1 contribute to proper stress granule localization, nuclear localization, and function. Our results provide the groundwork for further determination of the mechanisms behind the complex regulation of Crz1.

The filamentous fungus is extensively utilized in the realm of recombinant protein expression owing to its well-established protein production systems. However, the potential for efficient and convenient protein production in has not been fully harnessed. To further increase the production of recombinant lipase lipase B (CalB), we overexpressed seven transcription activators and found that overexpression of the calcineurin CRZ1 could significantly enhance CalB production by 2.

Achieving high-gravity fermentation in the industrial production of fuel ethanol, and enhancing the fermentation efficiency of high-salt raw materials, such as waste molasses, can significantly reduce wastewater output and process costs. Therefore, the development of hyperosmotic-tolerant industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains, capable of resisting high-salt stress, offers both environmental and economic benefits. Our previous study highlighted the potential of CRZ1 overexpression as a strategy to improve the yeast strain's resistance to high-salt stress, however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unexplored.

Lipid droplets (LD) are storage sites for neutral lipids that can be used as a source of energy during nutrient starvation, but also function as hubs for fatty acid (FA) trafficking between organelles. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the absence of LD causes a severe disorganization of the endomembrane network during starvation. Here we show that cells devoid of LD respond to amino acid (AA) starvation by activating the serine/threonine phosphatase calcineurin and the nuclear translocation of its target protein Crz1.

species are notorious for causing anthracnose on many fruits, leading to significant economic losses worldwide. As a model, we functionally characterized cys2-his2 (CH) zinc finger proteins (CsCZFs) in , a major causal agent of pepper fruit anthracnose in many countries. In all, 62 CsCZFs were identified by genomic analysis.
