ABSTRACT
The response to proteotoxic stresses such as heat shock allows organisms to maintain protein homeostasis under changing environmental conditions. We asked what happens if an organism can no longer react to cytosolic proteotoxic stress. To test this, we deleted or depleted, either individually or in combination, the stress-responsive transcription factors Msn2, Msn4, and Hsf1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Our study reveals a combination of survival strategies, which together protect essential proteins. Msn2 and 4 broadly reprogram transcription, triggering the response to oxidative stress, as well as biosynthesis of the protective sugar trehalose and glycolytic enzymes, while Hsf1 mainly induces the synthesis of molecular chaperones and reverses the transcriptional response upon prolonged mild heat stress (adaptation).
