Abstract excerpt
We have selected for genes that, when present in multiple copies, enhance growth of wild-type cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in an iron-limiting medium. A gene designated FUP1, for 'ferric utilization proficient', was isolated by this approach. Increased dosage of FUP1 reduces the concentration of iron in the medium required for efficient growth and confers elevated levels of iron uptake activity in...
