Abstract excerpt
Cobalt is an essential micronutrient but is toxic when present in excess. To study cobalt homeostasis we performed a genome-wide screen for deletion strains that show sensitivity or resistance to CoCl(2). Among 54 cobalt-sensitive strains, 18 are supersensitive strains, which are involved in histidine biosynthetic process, ubiquitination, mitochondria function, membrane trafficking, transporter and a variety of...
