Abstract
Yeasts lacking copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (sod1Δ) exhibit a broad range of phenotypes, many of which can be rescued by growth in the presence of high levels of ionic manganese. We undertook a comprehensive survey of the effects of manganese on wild-type and sod1Δ yeasts and found that 5 mM Mn2+ rescued all known growth-related phenotypes, such as slow growth in air, temperature sensitivity, specific amino acid auxotrophies, no growth in high oxygen, poor growth in nonfermentable carbon sources, and decreased stationary-phase survival. Iron-related phenotypes-elevated electron paramagnetic resonance detectable ("free") iron, decreased aconitase activity, and fragmenting vacuoles-as well as zinc sensitivity were also rescued. The activity of manganese superoxide dismutase remained constant or was reduced when the yeasts were grown in the presence of MnCl2, indicating that induction of this alternative superoxide dismutase is not the explanation. In contrast to MnCl2 treatment, addition of two manganese-containing superoxide dismutase mimetic compounds to the growth medium did not provide any rescue of sod1Δ yeast growth but rather had an sod1Δ-selective inhibitory effect at micromolar concentrations. Mechanisms by which ionic manganese can effect this rescue, while the mimetic compounds do not, are discussed.Keywords
