Journal ArticleDOI
Transformation of intact yeast cells treated with alkali cations or thiol compounds
TL;DR: The transformation efficiency with Cs+ or Li+ was comparable with that of conventional protoplast methods for a plasmid containing ars1, although not for plasmids containing a 2 microns origin replication.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Analysis of Glutathione Peroxidase in Oxidative Stress Response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
TL;DR: Three glutathione peroxidase homologs (GPX1, GPX2, and GPX3) were found in the Saccharomyces Genome Database, and the function of each gene product was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidative stress response in yeast: effect of glutathione on adaptation to hydrogen peroxide stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
TL;DR: Results strongly suggest that intracellular glutathione plays an important role in the adaptive response in S. cerevisiae to oxidative damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Importance of catalase in the adaptive response to hydrogen peroxide: analysis of acatalasaemic Saccharomyces cerevisiae
TL;DR: The results suggest that catalase is not essential for yeast cells under normal conditions, but plays an important role in the acquisition of tolerance to oxidative stress in the adaptive response of these cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of a gene conferring resistance to zinc and cadmium ions in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
TL;DR: A DNA fragment conferring resistance to zinc and cadmium ions in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was isolated from a library of yeast genomic DNA and named the ZRC1 (zinc resistance conferring) gene, indicating the ORF is required for resistance.
