ABSTRACT
The cell cycle and the transcriptome dynamics of yeast exposed to extracellular self-DNA during an aerobic batch culture on glucose have been investigated using cytofluorimetric and RNA-seq analyses. In parallel, the same study was conducted on yeast cells growing in the presence of (heterologous) nonself-DNA. The self-DNA treatment determined a reduction in the growth rate and a major elongation of the diauxic lag phase, as well as a significant delay in the achievement of the stationary phase. This was associated with significant changes in the cell cycle dynamics, with slower exit from the G0 phase, followed by an increased level of cell percentage in the S phase, during the cultivation. Comparatively, the exposure to heterologous DNA did not affect the growth curve and the cell cycle dynamics. The transcriptomic analysis showed that self-DNA exposure produced a generalized downregulation of transmembrane transport and an upregulation of genes associated with sulfur compounds and the pentose phosphate pathway. Instead, in the case of the nonself treatment, a clear response to nutrient deprivation was detected. Overall, the presented findings represent further insights into the complex functional mechanisms of self-DNA inhibition.
