The Response to Heat Shock and Oxidative Stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

KA Morano, CM Grant, WS Moye-Rowley - Genetics, 2012 - academic.oup.com
A common need for microbial cells is the ability to respond to potentially toxic environmental
insults. Here we review the progress in understanding the response of the yeast …

Role of the glutathione/glutaredoxin and thioredoxin systems in yeast growth and response to stress conditions

CM Grant - Molecular microbiology, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
Sulphydryl groups (‐SH) play a remarkably broad range of roles in the cell, and the redox
status of cysteine residues can affect both the structure and the function of numerous enzymes, …

…, SJ Hubbard, GD Pavitt, MP Ashe, CM Grant - Journal of Biological …, 2006 - ASBMB
Global inhibition of protein synthesis is a common response to stress conditions. We have
analyzed the regulation of protein synthesis in response to oxidative stress induced by …

Glutathione is an essential metabolite required for resistance to oxidative stress in the yeastSaccharomyces cerevisiae

CM Grant, FH MacIver, IW Dawes - Current genetics, 1996 - Springer
Glutathione (GSH) is an abundant cellular thiol which has been implicated in numerous
cellular processes and in protection against stress caused by xenobiotics, carcinogens and …

Protein S-thiolation targets glycolysis and protein synthesis in response to oxidative stress in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae

D Shenton, CM Grant - Biochemical Journal, 2003 - portlandpress.com
The irreversible oxidation of cysteine residues can be prevented by protein S-thiolation, a
process by which protein SH groups form mixed disulphides with low-molecular-mass thiols …
