The Yeast Mig1 Transcriptional Repressor Is Dephosphorylated By Glucose-Dependent And Independent Mechanisms

Wollman, M. C., Leake, Hohmann, S., Shashkova, A.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae AMPK/Snf1 regulates glucose derepression of genes required for utilization of alternative carbon sources through the transcriptional repressor Mig1. It has been suggested that the Glc7-Reg1 phosphatase dephosphorylates Mig1. Here we report that Mig1 is dephosphorylated by Glc7-Reg1 in an apparently glucose-dependent mechanism but also by a mechanism independent of glucose and Glc7-Reg1. In addition to serine/threonine phosphatases another process including tyrosine phosphorylation seems crucial for Mig1 regulation. Taken together, Mig1 dephosphorylation appears to be controlled in a complex manner, in line with the importance for rapid and sensitive regulation upon altered glucose concentrations in the growth medium.
