E. Belles-boix et al., CEF, a Sec24 homologue of Arabidopsis thaliana, enhances the survival of yeast under oxidative stress conditions, J EXP BOT, 51(351), 2000, pp. 1761-1762
Budding yeast strains that produced the Arabidopsis thaliana protein CEF or
its amino-terminal proline-rich domain were more tolerant to hydroperoxide
s. CEF is homologous to animal and yeast Sec24 proteins. These data suggest
that CEF plays a protective role through protein transport during growth u
nder pro-oxidant conditions.
