Abstract excerpt
Glutathione-deficient mutants (gshA) of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, impaired in the first step of glutathione (GSH) biosynthesis were studied with respect to the regulation of enzymes involved in GSH catabolism and cysteine biosynthesis. Striking differences were observed in the content of the sulphur amino acids when gshA mutants were compared to wild-type strains growing on the same minimal medium....
