Abstract excerpt
Lethal heat stress generates oxidative stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and anaerobic cells are several orders of magnitude more resistant than aerobic cells to a 50 degrees C heat shock. Here we characterize the oxidative effects of this heat stress. The thermoprotective effect in anaerobic cells was not due to expression of HSP104 or any other heat shock gene, raising the possibility that the toxicity of...
