Aluminum-induced Programmed Cell Death in Yeast
The molecular mechanisms of aluminum (Al) toxicity and tolerance in plants have been the focus of ongoing research in the area of stress phytophysiology. Recent studies have described Al-induced apoptosis-like cell death in plant and animal cells. In this study, we show that yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) exposed to low effective concentrations of Al for short times undergo enhanced cell divi...
متن کاملThe role of mitochondria in yeast programmed cell death
Mammalian apoptosis and yeast programmed cell death (PCD) share a variety of features including reactive oxygen species production, protease activity and a major role played by mitochondria. In view of this, and of the distinctive characteristics differentiating yeast and multicellular organism PCD, the mitochondrial contribution to cell death in the genetically tractable yeast Saccharomyces ce...
متن کاملProgrammed cell death: beyond the frontier of science
Programmed Cell Death (PCD) is an emerging topic contributing actively to basic biology, and in the near future, we could expect practical applications improving human health and the productivity of our crops. Current results relate this complex and paradoxical process with the physiological development, stress response and diseases of plants and animals. With the aim of improving the exchange ...
متن کاملProgrammed Cell Death Initiation and Execution in Budding Yeast.
Apoptosis or programmed cell death (PCD) was initially described in metazoans as a genetically controlled process leading to intracellular breakdown and engulfment by a neighboring cell . This process was distinguished from other forms of cell death like necrosis by maintenance of plasma membrane integrity prior to engulfment and the well-defined genetic system controlling this process. Apoptos...
متن کاملOxidative Stress and Programmed Cell Death in Yeast
Yeasts, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, have long served as useful models for the study of oxidative stress, an event associated with cell death and severe human pathologies. This review will discuss oxidative stress in yeast, in terms of sources of reactive oxygen species (ROS), their molecular targets, and the metabolic responses elicited by cellular ROS accumulation. Responses of yeast to ...
