Abstract excerpt
We have taken a systematic genetic approach to study the potential role of glutathione metabolism in aluminum (Al) toxicity and resistance, using disruption mutants available in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Yeast disruption mutants defective in phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidases (PHGPX; phgpx1 Delta, phgpx2 Delta, and phgpx3Delta), were tested for their sensitivity to Al. The triple mutant, phgpx1...
