Carbonylation of proteins is an irreversible oxidative damage that increases during both chronological and replicative yeast aging. In the latter, a spatial protein quality control system that relies on Sir2 is responsible for the asymmetrical damage segregation in the mother cells. Proper localization of Sir2 on chromatin depends on the deubiquitinating enzyme Ubp10, whose loss of function deeply affects the recombination and gene-silencing activities specific to Sir2. Here, we have analyzed the effects of SIR2 and UBP10 inactivations on carbonylated protein patterns obtained in two aging models such as stationary phase cells and size-selected old mother ones. In line with the endogenous situation of higher oxidative stress resulting from UBP10 inactivation, an increase of protein carbonylation has been found in the ubp10Delta stationary phase cells compared with sir2Delta ones. Moreover, Calorie Restriction had a salutary effect for both mutants by reducing carbonylated proteins accumulation. Remarkably, in the replicative aging model, whereas SIR2 inactivation resulted in a failure to establish damage asymmetry, the Sir2-dependent damage inheritance is maintained in the ubp10Delta mutant which copes with the increased oxidative damage by retaining it in the mother cells. This indicates that both Ubp10 and a correct association of Sir2 with the silenced chromatin are not necessary in such a process but also suggests that additional Sir2 activities on non-chromatin substrates are involved in the establishment of damage asymmetry.

Sir2 is a central regulator of yeast aging and its deficiency increases daughter cell inheritance of stress- and aging-induced misfolded proteins deposited in aggregates and inclusion bodies. Here, by quantifying traits predicted to affect aggregate inheritance in a passive manner, we found that a passive diffusion model cannot explain Sir2-dependent failures in mother-biased segregation of either the small aggregates formed by the misfolded Huntingtin, Htt103Q, disease protein or heat-induced Hsp104-associated aggregates. Instead, we found that the genetic interaction network of SIR2 comprises specific essential genes required for mother-biased segregation including those encoding components of the actin cytoskeleton, the actin-associated myosin V motor protein Myo2, and the actin organization protein calmodulin, Cmd1. Co-staining with Hsp104-GFP demonstrated that misfolded Htt103Q is sequestered into small aggregates, akin to stress foci formed upon heat stress, that fail to coalesce into inclusion bodies. Importantly, these Htt103Q foci, as well as the ATPase-defective Hsp104Y662A-associated structures previously shown to be stable stress foci, co-localized with Cmd1 and Myo2-enriched structures and super-resolution 3-D microscopy demonstrated that they are associated with actin cables. Moreover, we found that Hsp42 is required for formation of heat-induced Hsp104Y662A foci but not Htt103Q foci suggesting that the routes employed for foci formation are not identical. In addition to genes involved in actin-dependent processes, SIR2-interactors required for asymmetrical inheritance of Htt103Q and heat-induced aggregates encode essential sec genes involved in ER-to-Golgi trafficking/ER homeostasis.
