Chondrial network was examined in strains co-expressing Abp140GFP in the chromosomal website using the plasmid-derivedRFP-tagged mitochondrial marker MITO-RFP (plasmid pYX142-mtRFPm). In live cells grown on glucose both, actin cables and mitochondria, were intact (Fig.4A, Glu+) and in glucose-deprived reside cells the mitochondrial network was much more branched and tubular (Fig.4A, Glu-). In formaldehyde-fixed fermenting cells (Fig.4B, Glu+), Abp140-GFPlabeled actin cables were preserved and also the mitochondrial network was not obviously altered in comparison to live cells. In contrast and consistent with our preceding information, the formaldehyde fixation of glucose-depleted cells resulted in destabilization of each, actin cables as well as the mitochondrial network (Fig.4B, Glu-).OPEN ACCESS | www.microbialcell.comMicrobial Cell | Might 2016 | Vol. three Nr.P.

Vasicova et al. (2016)Formaldehyde impacts yeast actin distributionThus, as shown by live imaging analyses, glucose starvation by itself did not affect the integrity of either the cable pattern or the mitochondrial network in live cells. However, we showed here that the combined impact of glucose starvation and formaldehyde fixation resulted in destabilization of both, the mitochondrial network and actin cables. Hence, it may be speculated, that formaldehyde fixation impacts integrity and/or function of mitochondria and consequently, the integrity of actin cables is impacted. Glucose deprivation induces clustering of actin patches and loss of actin cables in respiratory deficient (rho0) cells. We speculate that the impact of formaldehyde fixation on the actin cable integrity in glucose-deprived cells could be a consequence of mitochondrial dysfunction. For that reason live-cell imaging analyses were performed with respiratorydeficient ethidium bromide-induced rho0 cells coexpressing Abp140-GFP (actin cables) and Abp1-RFP (actin patches) from chromosomal sites. These exponentially expanding rho0 cells displayed the polarized actin pattern consisting of cortical actin patches accumulated in buds (Abp1-RFP) and connected actin cables (Abp140-GFP) emanating into the mother cells (Fig. 5, Glu+). In contrast to rho+ (wild sort) cells (see Fig.2B), glucose starvation of rho0 cells for 80 minutes resulted in an clear loss of actin cables (Fig. five Glu-). Abp1-RFP was re-localized from buds also in to the mother cells and each actin markers, Abp140GFP and Abp1-RFP, were accumulated in enlarged and partially overlapping chunks or bodies. Detailed time course analyses revealed that destabilized actin cables appeared in a lot of the rho0 cells within the population soon after a 15 minute glucose deprivation (Fig.6). FCCP impacts actin in glucose-depleted cells. To confirm our earlier data that adjustments in mitochondrial respiration affect the stability of actin cables in glucosedepleted cells we treated r.
