Abstract excerpt
Two genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, ALR1 and ALR2, encode transmembrane proteins involved in Mg2+ uptake. The present study investigates the phylogenetic relationship of Alr1p/Alr2p with bacterial CorA proteins and some proteins related to Mg2+ influx/efflux transport in mitochondrial and bacterial zinc transporters; including hydrophobic cluster analysis (HCA). The phylogenetic results indicate that the Alrp...
