Abstract
Abstract
In eukaryotes, ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers regulate gene expression in response to nutritional and metabolic stimuli. However, altered transcription of metabolic genes may have significant indirect consequences which are currently poorly understood. In this study, we use genetic and molecular approaches to uncover a role for the remodeler Swi-Snf as a critical regulator of metabolism. We find that snfΔ mutants display a cysteine-deficient phenotype, despite growth in nutrient-rich media. This correlates with widespread perturbations in sulfur metabolic gene transcription, including global redistribution of the sulfur-sensing transcription factor Met4. Our findings show how a chromatin remodeler can have a significant impact on a whole metabolic pathway by directly regulating an important gene subset and demonstrate an emerging role for chromatin remodeling complexes as decisive factors in metabolic control.
