RSC is a 15-protein ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling complex related to Snf-Swi, the prototypical ATP-dependent nucleosome remodeler in budding yeast. Despite insight into the mechanism by which purified RSC remodels nucleosomes, little is known about the chromosomal targets or cellular pathways in which RSC acts. To better understand the cellular function of RSC, a screen was undertaken for gene dosage suppressors ofsth1-3ts, a temperature-sensitive mutation inSTH1, which encodes the essential ATPase subunit. Slg1p and Mid2p, two type I transmembrane stress sensors of cell wall integrity that function upstream of protein kinase C (Pkc1p), were identified as multicopy suppressors ofsth1-3tscells. Although thesth1-3tsmutant exhibits defects characteristic ofPKC1pathway mutants (caffeine and staurosporine sensitivities and an osmoremedial phenotype), only upstream components and not downstream effectors of thePKC1-MAP kinase pathway can suppress defects conferred bysth1-3ts, suggesting that RSC functions in an alternativePKC1-dependent pathway. Moreover,sth1-3tscells display defects in actin cytoskeletal rearrangements and are hypersensitive to the microtubule depolymerizing drug, TBZ; both of these defects can be corrected by the high-copy suppressors. Together, these data reveal an important functional connection between the RSC remodeler andPKC1-dependent signaling in regulating the cellular architecture.
