Abstract excerpt
Among the phenotypes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants lacking CuZn-superoxide dismutase (Sod1p) is an aerobic lysine auxotrophy; in the current work we show an additional leaky auxotrophy for leucine. The lysine and leucine biosynthetic pathways each contain a 4Fe-4S cluster enzyme homologous to aconitase and likely to be superoxide-sensitive, homoaconitase (Lys4p) and isopropylmalate dehydratase (Leu1p),...
