The biophysical properties of the cytoplasm are major determinants of key cellular processes and adaptation. Many yeasts produce dormant spores that can withstand extreme conditions. We show that spores of Saccharomyces cerevisiae exhibit extraordinary biophysical properties, including a highly viscous and acidic cytosol. These conditions alter the solubility of more than 100 proteins such as metabolic enzymes that become more soluble as spores transit to active cell proliferation upon nutrient repletion. A key regulator of this transition is the heat shock protein Hsp42, which shows transient solubilization and phosphorylation, and is essential for the transformation of the cytoplasm during germination. Germinating spores therefore return to growth through the dissolution of protein assemblies, orchestrated in part by Hsp42 activity. The modulation of spores molecular properties are likely key adaptive features of their exceptional survival capacities.
