Abstract excerpt
Genomic instability is related to a wide-range of human diseases. Here, we show that mitochondrial iron-sulfur cluster biosynthesis is important for the maintenance of nuclear genome stability in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Cells lacking the mitochondrial chaperone Zim17 (Tim15/Hep1), a component of the iron-sulfur biosynthesis machinery, have limited respiration activity, mimic the metabolic response to iron...
