To investigate the mechanism of action of volatile anesthetics, we are studying mutants of the yeastSaccharomyces cerevisiaethat have altered sensitivity to isoflurane, a widely used clinical anesthetic. Several lines of evidence from these studies implicate a role for ubiquitin metabolism in cellular response to volatile anesthetics: (i) mutations in theZZZ1gene render cells resistant to isoflurane, and theZZZ1gene is identical toBUL1(binds ubiquitin ligase), which appears to be involved in the ubiquitination pathway; (ii)ZZZ4, which we previously found is involved in anesthetic response, is identical to theDOA1/UFD3gene, which was identified based on altered degradation of ubiquitinated proteins; (iii) analysis ofzzz1Δ zzz4Δdouble mutants suggests that these genes encode products involved in the same pathway for anesthetic response since the double mutant is no more resistant to anesthetic than either of the single mutant parents; (iv) ubiquitin ligase (MDP1/RSP5) mutants are altered in their response to isoflurane; and (v) mutants with decreased proteasome activity are resistant to isoflurane. TheZZZ1andMDP1/RSP5gene products appear to play important roles in determining effective anesthetic dose in yeast since increased levels of either gene increases isoflurane sensitivity whereas decreased activity decreases sensitivity. Likezzz4strains,zzz1mutants are resistant to all five volatile anesthetics tested, suggesting there are similarities in the mechanisms of action of a variety of volatile anesthetics in yeast and that ubiquitin metabolism affects response to all the agents examined.
