The data can be used for designing new combinational therapies to eradicate leukemic cells.Methylselenol (MeSeH) is a major cytotoxic metabolite of selenium, causing apoptosis in cancer cells through mechanisms that remain to be fully established. Previously, we demonstrated that, in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, MeSeH toxicity was mediated by its metabolization into selenomethionine by O-acetylhomoserine (OAH)-sulfhydrylase, an enzyme that is absent in higher eukaryotes. In this report, we used a mutant met17 yeast strain, devoid of OA
