Hypusine is a post-translational modification on eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (eIF5A). The last step in the biosynthesis of hypusine, deoxyhypusine hydroxylation, is an oxygen dependent reaction. Here we show that deletion of deoxyhypusine hydroxylase, Lia1, compromises yeast respirat...
