Summary: | All eukaryotes and most prokaryotes require transition metals. In recent
years there has been an enormous advance in our understanding of how these
metals are transported across the plasma membrane. Much of this understanding
has resulted from studies on the budding yeast
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
.
A variety of genetic and biochemical approaches have led to a detailed
understanding of how transition metals such as iron, copper, manganese, and
zinc are acquired by cells. The regulation of metal transport has been defined
at both the transcriptional and posttranslational levels. Results from studies
on
S. cerevisiae
have been used to understand metal transport in other
species of yeast as well as in higher eukaryotes. |
