Fission yeast Vps1 and Atg8 contribute to oxidative stress resistance.

Abstract excerpt

Organisms have evolved diverse means to protect themselves from oxidative stress. To better understand the molecular mechanisms involved in oxidative stress resistance, we screened fission yeast mutants sensitive to paraquat, a reagent acting on the mitochondria to generate reactive oxygen species. Among the mutants we isolated, we focused on a mutant defective in the vps1(+) (vacuolar protein sorting 1) gene...
