Abstract

Expression control of the protein phosphatase is critically involved in crosstalk and feedback of the cellular signaling. In the budding yeast ER stress response, multiple signaling pathways are activated and play key roles in adaptive reactions. However, it remains unclear how the expression level of the protein phosphatase is modulated during ER stress response. Here, we show that ER stress increases expression of Ptp2 tyrosine phosphatase and Cmp2 calcineurin phosphatase. Upregulation of Ptp2 is due to transcriptional activation mediated by Mpk1 MAP kinase and Rlm1 transcription factor. This induction is important for Ptp2 to effectively downregulate the activity of Hog1 MAP kinase. The budding yeast genome possesses two genes, CMP2 and CNA1 , encoding the catalytic subunit of calcineurin phosphatase. CMP2 is more important than CNA1 not only in ER stress response, but also in salt stress response. Higher promoter activity of CMP2 contributes to its relative functional significance in ER stress response, but is less important for salt stress response. Thus, our results suggest that expression control of Ptp2 and Cmp2 protein phosphatases at the promoter level is crucial for adaptive responses to ER stress.
