Abstract excerpt
Although iron is an essential nutrient, it is also a potent cellular toxin, and the acquisition of iron is a highly regulated process in eukaryotes. In yeast, iron uptake is homeostatically regulated by the transcription factor encoded by AFT1. Expression of AFT1-1(up), a dominant mutant allele, results in inappropriately high rates of iron uptake, and AFT1-1(up) mutants grow slowly in the presence of high...
