Oxygen is essential for aerobic organisms but causes cytotoxicity probably through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this study, we screened for the genes that regulate oxidative stress in the yeastSaccharomyces cerevisiae, and found that expression ofCTH2/TIS11caused an increased resistance to ROS.CTH2is up-regulated upon iron starvation and functions to remodel metabolism to adapt to iron starvation. We showed here that increased resistance to ROS byCTH2would likely be caused by the decreased ROS production due to the decreased activity of mitochondrial respiration, which observation is consistent with the fact thatCTH2down-regulates the mitochondrial respiratory proteins. We also found that expression ofCTH1, a paralog ofCTH2, also caused an increased resistance to ROS. This finding supported the above view, because mitochondrial respiratory proteins are the common targets ofCTH1andCTH2. We further showed that supplementation of iron in medium augmented the growth ofS. cerevisiaeunder oxidative stress, and expression ofCTH2and supplementation of iron collectively enhanced its growth under oxidative stress. SinceCTH2is regulated by iron, these findings suggested that iron played crucial roles in the regulation of oxidative stress inS. cerevisiae.
