Abstract excerpt
Saccharomyces cerevisiae Lys7p was proposed to be the enzyme catalyzing the dehydratation of homocitrate to cis-homoaconitate, the second step of the lysine biosynthetic pathway. In this communication we provide evidence that Lys7p is involved in oxidative stress protection. Cells deleted for the LYS7 gene displayed, in addition to lysine auxotrophy, methionine auxotrophy, sensitivity to superoxide generating...
