Abstract excerpt
A plasma membrane iron reductase, required for cellular iron acquisition by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and the human phagocytic NADPH oxidase, implicated in cellular defense, contain low potential plasma membrane b cytochromes that share elements of structure and function. Four critical histidine residues in the FRE1 protein of the iron reductase were identified by site-directed mutagenesis. Individual mutation of...
