ABSTRACT: The combination of genetic analysis and genome-wide expression profiles make Saccharomyces cerevisiae the cradle of Systems Biology. The way S. cerevisiae uses carbon sources has long been a landmark for studies concerning cellular responses to environmental conditions. S. cerevisiae conserves the entire machinery for utilization of fatty acids, yet with a different compartmentalization compared to higher eukaryotes. We propose S. cerevisiae as a model to understand how perixosomal compartmentalization of oleate metabolism co-evolved with the transcriptional regulatory networks of FA metabolism. With this aim, we performed growth competition experiments in oleate on the pooled collection of all viable yeast null mutants. We integrated results of competitive fitness with transcriptional profiles in oleate, identifying two genes previously not directly associated to FA metabolism: OAR1 and FET3. For the first time we show the importance of iron metabolism not only in maintaining functional mitochondria, but also in influencing peroxisome wellness.
