Abstract
Saccharomyces yeasts are highly dispersed in the environment and microbiota of higher organisms. The yeast killing phenotype, encoded by the viral system, was discovered to be a significant property for host survival. Minor alterations in transcription patterns underpin the reciprocal relationship between LA and M viruses and their hosts, suggesting the fine-tuning of the transcriptional landscape. To uncover the principal targets of both viruses, we performed proteomics analysis of virus-enriched subsets of host proteins in virus type-specific manner. The essential pathways of protein metabolism-from biosynthesis and folding to degradation-were found substantially enriched in virus-linked subsets. The fractionation of viruses allowed separation of virus-linked host RNAs, investigated by high-content RNA sequencing. Ribosomal RNA was found to be inherently associated with LA-lus virus, along with other RNAs essential for ribosome biogenesis. This study provides a unique portrayal of yeast virions through the characterization of the associated proteome and cognate RNAs, and offers a background for understanding ScV-LA viral infection persistency.
