โฆ Synopsis
Growth of yeast in the presence of the protein synthesis inhibitors cycloheximide and cryptopleurine results in elimination ("curing") of the cytoplasmically-inherited killer virus. Yeast mutants with ribosomal subunits resistant to the translational effects of one of these antibiotics are specifically resistant to curing by that antibiotic, indicating that these substances act on the virus by their effect on protein synthesis.

Thiol-based redox reactions are involved in the regulation of a variety of biological functions, such as protection against oxidative stress, signal transduction and protein folding. Some proteins involved in redox regulation have been shown to modulate life span in organisms from yeast to mammals.
