Abstract excerpt
Iron is an essential micronutrient for eukaryotic organisms. In response to iron deficiency, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae optimizes iron utilization by downregulating nonessential iron-dependent processes, such as mitochondrial respiration. This regulatory mechanism is mediated by a mRNA-binding protein designated Cth2. In response to iron scarcity, Cth2 binds through its tandem zinc-finger (TFZ) domain to...
