ABSTRACT
Prodigiosin, a red pigment produced by numerous bacterial species, exerts various antibiotic effects on prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. For instance, human carcinoma cell lines appear to suffer from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the presence of prodigiosin. Here, we demonstrated that prodigiosin also triggers the unfolded-protein response (UPR), which is a cytoprotective response against ER stress, in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. An S. cerevisiae mutant carrying a UPR-deficient mutation was hypersensitive to prodigiosin. Our observations cumulatively indicate that protein folding in the ER is impaired by prodigiosin, illustrating a new mode of action.
