Abstract excerpt
Randomly obtained, constitutive plasma membrane ferric reductase/ferrous uptake mutants of Cryptococcus neoformans were mapped to four distinct loci by meiotic analysis. One of those loci, FRR1 , was previously found homologous to MRS3 and MRS4 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae , which determine proteins involved in mitochondrial transport of iron. We were able to complement, clone, sequence and thereby identify two of...
