Abstract:
:Cells depend on a highly ordered organisation of their content and must develop strategies to maintain the anisotropic distribution of organelles during periods of nutrient shortage. One of these strategies is to solidify the cytoplasm, which was observed in bacteria and yeast cells with acutely interrupted energy production. Here, we describe a different type of cytoplasm solidification fission yeast cells switch to, after having run out of nutrients during multiple days in culture. It provides the most profound reversible cytoplasmic solidification of yeast cells described to date. Our data exclude the previously proposed mechanisms for cytoplasm solidification in yeasts and suggest a mechanism that immobilises cellular components in a size-dependent manner. We provide experimental evidence that, in addition to time, cells use intrinsic nutrients and energy sources to reach this state. Such cytoplasmic solidification may provide a robust means to protect cellular architecture in dormant cells.
