Modeling regulation of zinc uptake via ZIP transporters in yeast and plant roots.

Modeling regulation of zinc uptake via ZIP transporters in yeast and plant roots.

In yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and plant roots (Arabidopsis thaliana) zinc enters the cells via influx transporters of the ZIP family. Since zinc is both essential for cell function and toxic at high concentrations, tight regulation is essential for cell viability. We provide new insight into t...
