The de novo synthesis of cytidine 5'-triphosphate (CTP) is catalyzed by the enzyme CTP synthase (CTPS), which is known to form cytoophidia across all three domains of life. In this study, we use the budding yeast and the fission yeast as model organisms to compare cytoophidium assembly under external environmental and intracellular CTPS alterations. We observe that under low and high temperature conditions, cytoophidia in fission yeast gradually disassemble, while cytoophidia in budding yeast remain unaffected. The effect of pH changes on cytoophidia maintenance in the two yeast species is different. When cultured in the yeast-saturated cultured medium, cytoophidia in fission yeast disassemble, while cytoophidia in budding yeast gradually form. Overexpression of CTPS results in the presence and maintenance of cytoophidia in both yeast species from the log phase to the stationary phase. In summary, our results demonstrate differential cytoophidium assembly between and , the two most studied yeast species.

The cytoophidium is a novel type of membraneless organelle, first observed in the ovaries of Drosophila using fluorescence microscopy. In vitro, purified Drosophila melanogaster CTPS (dmCTPS) can form metabolic filaments under the presence of either substrates or products, and their structures that have been analyzed using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). These dmCTPS filaments are considered the fundamental units of cytoophidia.

The cytoophidium is an evolutionarily conserved subcellular structure formed by filamentous polymers of metabolic enzymes. In vertebrates, inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), which catalyses the rate-limiting step in guanosine triphosphate (GTP) biosynthesis, is one of the best-known cytoophidium-forming enzymes. Formation of the cytoophidium has been proposed to alleviate the inhibition of IMPDH, thereby facilitating GTP production to support the rapid proliferation of certain cell types such as lymphocytes, cancer cells and pluripotent stem cells (PSCs).

The cellular compartmentation induced by self-assembly of natural proteins has recently attracted widespread attention due to its structural-functional significance. Among them, as a highly conserved metabolic enzyme and one of the potential targets for cancers and parasitic diseases in drug development, CTP synthase (CTPS) has also been reported to self-assemble into filamentous structures termed cytoophidia. To elucidate the dynamical mechanism of cytoophidium filamentation, we utilize single-molecule fluorescence imaging to observe the real-time self-assembly dynamics of CTPS and the coordinated assembly between CTPS and its interaction partner, Δ-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase (P5CS).

Inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase 1 (IMPDH1) is a critical enzyme in the retina, essential for the correct functioning of photoreceptor cells. Mutations in IMPDH1 have been linked to autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa subtype 10 (adRP-10), a genetic eye disorder. Some of these mutations such as the Asp226Asn (D226N) lead to the assembly of large filamentous structures termed cytoophidia.
