Genetic screens reveal novel major and minor players in magnesium homeostasis of Staphylococcus aureus.
Magnesium is one of the most abundant metal ions in living cells. Very specific and devoted transporters have evolved for transporting Mg2+ ions across the membrane and maintain magnesium homeostasis. Using genetic screens, we were able to identify the main players in magnesium homeostasis in the op...
