Changes in a Protein Profile Can Account for the Altered Phenotype of the Yeast <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> Mutant Lacking the Copper-Zinc Superoxide Dismutase

Copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is an antioxidant enzyme that catalyzes the disproportionation of superoxide anion to hydrogen peroxide and molecular oxygen (dioxygen). The yeast <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> lacking <i>SOD1</i> (Δ<i>sod1</i>) is hyperse...

description Copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is an antioxidant enzyme that catalyzes the disproportionation of superoxide anion to hydrogen peroxide and molecular oxygen (dioxygen). The yeast <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> lacking <i>SOD1</i> (Δ<i>sod1</i>) is hypersensitive to the superoxide anion and displays a number of oxidative stress-related alterations in its phenotype. We compared proteomes of the wild-type strain and the Δ<i>sod1</i> mutant employing two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and detected eighteen spots representing differentially expressed proteins, of which fourteen were downregulated and four upregulated. Mass spectrometry-based identification enabled the division of these proteins into functional classes related to carbon metabolism, amino acid and protein biosynthesis, nucleotide biosynthesis, and metabolism, as well as antioxidant processes. Detailed analysis of the proteomic data made it possible to account for several important morphological, biochemical, and physiological changes earlier observed for the <i>SOD1</i> mutation. An example may be the proposed additional explanation for methionine auxotrophy. It is concluded that protein comparative profiling of the Δ<i>sod1</i> yeast may serve as an efficient tool in the elucidation of the mutation-based systemic alterations in the resultant <i>S. cerevisiae</i> phenotype.
