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 …

Metacaspases are cysteine-dependent proteases found in protozoa, fungi and plants and
are distantly related to metazoan caspases. Although metacaspases share structural …

Acetic acid stress represents a frequent challenge to counteract for yeast cells under several
environmental conditions and industrial bioprocesses. The molecular mechanisms …

Beyond its classical biotechnological applications such as food and beverage production or
