Abstract excerpt
The yeast ZRT1 zinc transporter is regulated by zinc at both transcriptional and post-translational levels. At the post-translational level, zinc inactivates ZRT1 by inducing the removal of the protein from the plasma membrane by endocytosis. The zinc transporter is subsequently degraded in the vacuole. This regulatory system allows for the rapid shut off of zinc uptake activity in cells exposed to high zinc...
