Abstract excerpt
The absence of Tsa1, a key peroxiredoxin that functions to scavenge H(2)O(2) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, causes the accumulation of a broad spectrum of mutations including gross chromosomal rearrangements (GCRs). Deletion of TSA1 also causes synthetic lethality in combination with mutations in R...
