Mitochondrial superoxide dismutase Sod2 suppresses nuclear genome instability during oxidative stress.
Title: Mitochondrial superoxide dismutase Sod2 suppresses nuclear genome instability during oxidative stress.
Repression of SOD2 prevents ethanol-induced relocalization of yeast hydrogen peroxide-sensing transcription factor Yap1p, one of the key stress resistance proteins. Analysis of the ethanol sensitivities of the cells lacking Sod2p, Yap1p, or both indicated that the two proteins act in the same pathway.
Title: Mitochondrial Superoxide Dismutase and Yap1p Act as a Signaling Module Contributing to Ethanol Tolerance of the Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Results provide evidence that the mutation I91T brings damage to Sod2 activity, con fi rming further the role of the yeast S. cerevisiae as a model to study disease mechanisms related to oxidative stress.
Title: In Vivo Characterization of I91T Sod2 Polymorphism of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
surface-potential distribution of SOD2 revealed a conserved positively charged electrostatic zone in the proximity of the active site
Title: Structures of native and Fe-substituted SOD2 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Data find that misincorporation of iron into yeast Sod2p does not correlate with significant changes in the average oxidation state or coordination chemistry of bulk mitochondrial iron.
Title: The interaction of mitochondrial iron with manganese superoxide dismutase.
Inactivation of SOD1 and SOD2 modifies response to S-nitrosoglutathione-induced stress.
Title: Inactivation of genes encoding superoxide dismutase modifies yeast response to S-nitrosoglutathione-induced stress.
sod 2 Delta and sod 1 Deltasod 2 Delta demonstrated the highest levels of GSH in the control, suggesting that pathways which include GSH protect these double mutants against oxidative stress
Title: Adaptative response to enhanced basal oxidative damage in sod mutants from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
the insertion of manganese into eukaryotic SOD2 molecules is driven by the protein unfolding process associated with mitochondrial import
Title: Manganese activation of superoxide dismutase 2 in the mitochondria of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
neither MnSOD nor CuZnSOD is required for protecting the majority of mitochondrial proteins from oxidative damage during early phases of growth
Title: Mitochondrial protein oxidation in yeast mutants lacking manganese-(MnSOD) or copper- and zinc-containing superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD): evidence that MnSOD and CuZnSOD have both unique and overlapping functions in protecting mitochondrial proteins from oxidative damage.
