Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase ALD5 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is involved in the biosynthesis of mitochondrial electron transport chain, and the ald5 mutant is incompetent for respiration. With use of the mutant, we examined the detoxication of H2O2 generation by fatty acid beta-oxidation in peroxisome. The ald5 mutant (AKD321), as well as the 746 rho0 mutant, was more resistant to H2O2 stress than the...
