摘要
How microbial cells leverage their phenotypic potential to survive in a changing environment is a complex biological problem, with important implications for pathogenesis and species evolution. Stochastic phenotype switching, a particularly fascinating adaptive approach observed in numerous species across the tree of life, introduces phenotypic diversity into a population through mechanisms which have remained difficult to define. Here we describe our investigations into the mechanistic basis of colony morphology phenotype switching which occurs in populations of a pathogenic isolate of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, YJM311. We observed that clonal populations of YJM311 cells produce variant colonies that display altered morphologies and, using whole genome sequence analysis, discovered that these variant clones harbored an exceptional collection of karyotypes newly altered by de novo structural genomic variations (SVs). Overall, our analyses indicate that copy number alterations, more often than changes in allelic identity, provide the causative basis of this phenotypic variation. Individual variants carried between 1 and 16 de novo copy number variations, most of which were whole chromosomal aneuploidies. Notably, we found that the inherent stability of the diploid YJM311 genome is comparable to that of domesticated laboratory strains, indicating that the collections of SVs harbored by variant clones did not arise by a chronic chromosomal instability (CIN) mechanism. Rather, our data indicate that these variant clones acquired such complex karyotypic configurations simultaneously, during stochastic and transient episodes of punctuated systemic genomic instability (PSGI). Surprisingly, we found that the majority of these highly altered variant karyotypes were propagated with perfect fidelity in long-term passaging experiments, demonstrating that high aneuploidy burdens can often be conducive with prolonged genomic integrity. Together, our results demonstrate that colony morphology switching in YJM311 is driven by a stochastic process in which genome stability and plasticity are integrally coupled to phenotypic heterogeneity. Consequently, this system simultaneously introduces both phenotypic and genomic variation into a population of cells, which can, in turn perpetuate population diversity for many generations thereafter.
