In response to osmotic shock, the components of high-osmolarity glycerol (HOG) pathway regulate the level of intracellular glycerol in yeast and ensure cell survival. Glycerol is a compatible solute and a stabiliser of proteins. Its role in maintaining proteostasis is less explored. We show that mild stress in the form of dietary restriction leads to increased glycerol level which increases cell viability. However, dietary restriction coupled with protein aggregation decreases intracellular glycerol level and attenuates cell viability. The transcript level of FPS1, the glycerol transporter channel, remains unchanged. However, its activity is altered under enhanced proteotoxic stress. Our results provide evidence for a probable role of the Fps1p channel in the cellular proteostasis network. KEY POINTS: • Dietary restriction led to increased accumulation of glycerol in Fps1-deleted yeast cells. • This led to lower protein aggregation in these cells. • Increased production of glycerol under dietary restriction was not linked to increased level of Fps1.
