Abstract excerpt
Analysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell transcriptome revealed that iron deprivation/supplementation affects genes other than those of the iron regulon (controlled by Aft proteins). Several genes regulated by zinc (induced by zinc deprivation) were induced by iron. Cells lacking the yeast frataxin homologue Yfh1 accumulate large amounts of iron in their mitochondria. We have shown that the zinc metabolism of...
