Abstract excerpt
Here we analyzed the role of the antioxidant response in Saccharomyces cerevisiae adaptation to hyperosmotic stress. We show that Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) plays a fundamental role in this adaptation process since under hyperosmosis SOD1 mutants lead to high protein oxidation levels and show a sensitive phenotype, which is reversed by the addition of N-acetylcysteine to the medium. Pretreatment with...
