Redox homeostasis and defense the peculiar facultative metabolism of S. cerevisiae (Avendano et al., against oxidative stress are also influenced by glutamate biosynthesis 2005). since this amino acid is a glutathione precursor (Guillamon, van Riel, It has been proposed that in the S. cerevisiae lineage, a whole genome Giuseppin, & Verrips, 2001; Lee, Kim, Kang, Kim, & Maeng, 2012). duplication (WGD) event took place (Wolfe & Shields, 1997) and that Although the relative contribution of the two glutamate- producing a selected group of the resulting duplicated genes have been retained pathways to the biosynthesis of this amino acid varies among species in two copies among which are the paralogous ScGDH1 and ScGDH3 and growth conditions, it has been reported that NADP- GDH (1.4.1.4) genes (Seoighe & Wolfe, 1999). However, the evolutionary studies of plays a leading role in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Aspergillus nidulans, the fungal NADP- GDHs have not addressed the characteristics of the Neurospora crassa, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae grown on ammonium pre- WGD ancestral- type genes which did not originate through WGD, as sole nitrogen source, in which inactivation of the NADP- GDH encod- and those present in the Saccharomycetes, which arose through WGD. ing genes, dramatically reduces growth rate (Fincham, 1951; Macheda, The Saccharomycetales (or Hemyascomycetes) group includes species Hynes, & Davis, 1999; Magasanik, 2003; Perysinakis, Kinghorn, & closely related to S. cerevisiae for which the genome sequence and Drainas, 1994).
