Abstract excerpt
Vacuoles are acidic organelles that store FeIII polyphosphate, participate in iron homeostasis, and have been proposed to deliver iron to mitochondria for iron-sulfur cluster (ISC) and heme biosynthesis. Vma2Δ cells have dysfunctional V-ATPases, rendering their vacuoles nonacidic. These cells have mitochondria that are iron-dysregulated, suggesting disruption of a putative vacuole-to-mitochondria iron trafficking...
