The genes involved in the methionine pathway are closely associated with phospholipid homeostasis in yeast. The impact of the deletion of methionine (MET) transcriptional activators (MET31, MET32 and MET4) in lipid homeostasis is studied. Our lipid profiling data showed that aberrant phospholipid and neutral lipid accumulation occurred in met31 Delta and met4 Delta strains with low Met. The expression pattern of phospholipid biosynthetic genes such as CHO2, OPI3 and triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthetic gene, DGA1 were upregulated in met31 Delta, and met4 Delta strains when compared to wild type (WT). The accumulation of triacylglycerol and sterol esters (SE) content supports the concomitant increase in lipid droplets in met31 Delta and met4 Delta strains. However, excessive supplies of methionine (1 mM) in the cells lacking the MET transcriptional activators MET31 and MET4 ameliorates the abnormal lipogenesis and causes aberrant lipid accumulation. These findings implicate the methionine accessibility plays a pivotal role in lipid metabolism in the yeast model.
