Abstract excerpt
Iron and oxygen are essential but potentially toxic constituents of most organisms, and their transport is meticulously regulated both at the cellular and systemic levels. Compartmentalization may be a homeostatic mechanism for isolating these biological reactants in cells. To investigate this hypothesis, we have undertaken a genetic analysis of the interaction between iron and oxygen metabolism in Drosophila. We...
