Abstract excerpt
The Thi4 protein from Saccharomyces cerevisiae plays a pivotal role in the biosynthesis of thiazole, a precursor of thiamine (vitamin B1). In addition, the thi4-disrupted strain has shown increased frequencies of mitochondrial mutants (petite colonies) upon treatment with DNA damaging agents. In this work, we show that the thi4 strain presents significant induction of petites and reduced oxygen consumption when...
