Metal homeostasis and resistance in bacteria. [PDF]
Nat Rev Microbiol, 2017 Metal ions are essential for many reactions, but excess metals can be toxic. In bacteria, metal limitation activates pathways that are involved in the import and mobilization of metals, whereas excess metals induce efflux and storage. In this Review, we highlight recent insights into metal homeostasis, including protein-based and RNA-based sensors that

A Small-Molecule Modulator of Metal Homeostasis in Gram-Positive Pathogens [PDF]
mBio, 2020 Metals are essential nutrients that all living organisms acquire from their environment. While metals are necessary for life, excess metal uptake can be toxic; therefore, intracellular metal levels are tightly regulated in bacterial cells. Staphylococcus

A Novel Prokaryote-Type ECF/ABC Transporter Module in Chloroplast Metal Homeostasis [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 During evolution, chloroplasts, which originated by endosymbiosis of a prokaryotic ancestor of today’s cyanobacteria with a eukaryotic host cell, were established as the site for photosynthesis.

Streptococcus pneumoniae metal homeostasis alters cellular metabolism. [PDF]
Metallomics, 2020 Abstract Streptococcus pneumoniae colonizes the human nasopharyngeal mucosa and is a leading cause of community-acquired pneumonia, acute otitis media, and bacterial meningitis. Metal ion homeostasis is vital to the survival of this pathogen across diverse biological sites and contributes significantly to colonization and invasive ...

Regulation of Bacterial Manganese Homeostasis and Usage During Stress Responses and Pathogenesis
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022 Manganese (Mn) plays a multifaceted role in the survival of pathogenic and symbiotic bacteria in eukaryotic hosts, and it is also important for free-living bacteria to grow in stressful environments.
