Loss of peroxisome function triggers necrosis

Abstract excerpt

Disturbance of peroxisome function can lead to various degenerative diseases during ageing. Here, we show that in yeast deletion of PEX6, encoding a protein involved in a key step of peroxisomal protein import, results in an increased accumulation of reactive oxygen species and an enhanced loss of viability upon acetic acid treatment and during early stationary phase. Cell death of ageing-like yeast cells lacking...
