Abstract excerpt
We performed a phylogenetic analysis of heavy-metal ATPases (HMAs) in fungi and found that HMAs can be divided into three groups, A, B, and C. Group A is predicted to deliver copper ions to copper-containing proteins, while Groups B and C are thought to function as cell-membrane copper-efflux pumps. Furthermore, Groups B and C consist of fungal-specific HMAs, while Group A consists of fungal orthologues that have...
