Abstract excerpt
During glycolysis, yeast generates methylglyoxal (MG), a toxic metabolite that affects growth. Detoxification can occur when glyoxylase I (GLO1) and glyoxylase II (GLO2) convert MG to lactic acid. We have identified an additional, previously unrecognized role for GLO1 in sulfur assimilation in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. During a screening for putative carbon-sulfur lyases, the glo1 deletion strain showed...
