ABSTRACT

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the selective autophagic degradation of mitochondria, termed mitophagy, is critically regulated by the adapter protein Atg32. Despite our knowledge about the molecular mechanisms by which Atg32 controls mitophagy, its physiological roles in yeast survival and fitness remains less clear. Here, we demonstrate a requirement for Atg32 in promoting spermidine production during respiratory growth and heat-induced mitochondrial stress. During respiratory growth, mitophagy-deficient yeast exhibit profound heat-stress induced defects in growth and viability due to impaired biosynthesis of spermidine and its biosynthetic precursor S-adenosyl methionine. Moreover, spermidine production is crucial for the induction of cytoprotective nitric oxide (NO) during heat stress. Hence, the re-addition of spermidine to Atg32 mutant yeast is sufficient to both enhance NO production and restore respiratory growth during heat stress. Our findings uncover a previously unrecognized physiological role for yeast mitophagy in spermidine metabolism and illuminate new interconnections between mitophagy, polyamine biosynthesis and NO signaling.

ABSTRACT

Memory performance is often a major bottleneck for high-performance computing (HPC) applications. Deepening memory hierarchies, complex memory management, and non-uniform access times have made memory performance behavior difficult to characterize, and users require novel, sophisticated tools to analyze and optimize this aspect of their codes. Existing tools target only specific factors of memory performance, such as hardware layout, allocations, or access instructions. However, today's tools do not suffice to characterize the complex relationships between these factors. Further, they require advanced expertise to be used effectively. We present MemAxes, a tool based on a novel approach for analytic-driven visualization of memory performance data. MemAxes uniquely allows users to analyze the different aspects related to memory performance by providing multiple visual contexts for a centralized dataset. We define mappings of sampled memory access data to new and existing visual metaphors, each of which enabling a user to perform different analysis tasks. We present methods to guide user interaction by scoring subsets of the data based on known performance problems. This scoring is used to provide visual cues and automatically extract clusters of interest. We designed MemAxes in collaboration with experts in HPC and demonstrate its effectiveness in case studies.

ABSTRACT

El monitoreo instrumental de la tensión de las meninges -realizado en forma precoz, en el primer agujero de la craneotomía - permitiría una comprobación objetiva, exacta y comparable de las condiciones de operabilidad en la cirugía endocraneana y facilitaría una elección más ajustada de las herramientas con que cuenta el anestesiólogo pra proveer esas condiciones. Buscando el instrumento adecuado para realizar el monitoreo pretendido, investigamos -en un modelo teórico que evoca a la caja craneana y a las meninges- si es factible practicar la tonometría de aplanación en una membrana elástica. La respuesta afirmativa al interrogante planteado en el título nos faculta para analizar, en un trabajo ulterior, qué correlación existe entre la presión endocraneana y la tensión de las meninges en animales y personas, y, posteriormente, apreciar si el monitoreo de la tensión de las meninges (tonometría de la duramadre) es útil para valorar las condiciones de operabilidad en la cirugía endocraneana.
