The relevant processes are highly conserved in yeast, enabling precise genetic manipulation and real-time analysis of mechanisms that are difficult to study in mammalian systems. Yeast models have been deployed to study prion propagation, lysosomal enzyme trafficking, and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Despite an inability to recapitulate the full complexity of multicellular organisms, yeast remains an invaluable tool for investigating human diseases and for the development of therapeutics.

The phosphate (Pi)-sensing (PHO) signaling pathway contributes to NAD+ degradation, and PHO-responsive genes are reciprocally regulated in a NAD+-dependent manner. In this study, we examine whether the NAD+ biosynthetic enzyme Nma1 has a direct role in modulating PHO signaling. We show that Nma1 physically interacts with Pho4, a transcription factor translocating to the nucleus to activate PHO-responsive genes during Pi depletion. Overexpression of NMA1 or its catalytically inactive variant significantly reduces Pi depletion-induced Pho4 nuclear localization and the activation of PHO-responsive genes, indicating the NAD+ synthesis activity of Nma1 is dispensable in the downregulation of PHO signaling. Interestingly, mutating the C-terminal domain of Nma1, which is required for the ATPase chaperone activity of mammalian NMNATs, fails to decrease Pho4 nuclear localization and the expression of PHO-responsive genes. Moreover, loss of Nma1 increases Pho4 nuclear localization under moderate Pi-depleted conditions, suggesting that cells lacking Nma1 are more sensitive to Pi availability alterations. These results support that Nma1 can moderate PHO activation by maintaining Pho4 in the cytoplasm. Our findings uncover a novel regulatory mechanism for PHO signaling, and this regulation may help coordinate NAD+ metabolism with Pi homeostasis.</p>","PeriodicalId":12290,"journal":{"name":"FEMS yeast research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13519963/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148789982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, skin-associated fungi must acquire iron from limited, often host-sequestered sources. This minireview summarizes current knowledge on iron acquisition systems in the fungal taxa most consistently identified in the human skin mycobiome: Malassezia species, Candida albicans, Candida auris, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, and dermatophytes. These fungi appear to rely on diverse strategies, including reductive iron uptake, heme and ferritin utilization, and siderophore-mediated iron scavenging. However, our mechanistic understanding differs greatly among species. In C. albicans, several uptake systems have been characterized, but their direct roles in cutaneous colonization versus invasive disease remain unclear. In C. auris, persistent skin colonization is a critical biological feature, but iron sources and uptake pathways supporting its survival, as well as how they intersect with its notorious antifungal resistance, remain largely unresolved. Rhodotorula mucilaginosa and dermatophytes employ siderophore-associated iron acquisition, and yet the relevant transporters and regulatory mechanisms remain poorly characterized. Most notably, despite Malassezia's dominance in the human skin mycobiome and its uncertain status as commensal, pathogen, or both, its iron acquisition strategies remain almost completely unexplored at the functional level. Understanding how skin-associated fungi compete for and acquire iron in the cutaneous environment will provide important insights into fungal commensalism, niche adaptation, and the pathogenic transition.</p>","PeriodicalId":12290,"journal":{"name":"FEMS yeast research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13599772/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148988302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we summarise the current understanding of MAPK signalling in the budding model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which serves throughout as a reference template, and in four human-pathogenic fungi that span the fungal kingdom-the ascomycetous yeast Candida albicans, the emerging multidrug-resistant pathogen Candidozyma (formerly Candida) auris, the filamentous mould Aspergillus fumigatus, and the basidiomycetous yeast Cryptococcus neoformans-emphasising how a conserved kinase framework has been functionally diversified to meet species-specific demands. We focus on the MAPK signalling system of C. neoformans, which is characterised by five MAPK homologues arising from paralogue retention and pervasive pathway crosstalk.
