Metal ion transporters and homeostasis [PDF]
The EMBO Journal, 1999 Transition metals are essential for many metabolic processes and their homeostasis is crucial for life. Aberrations in the cellular metal ion concentrations may lead to cell death and severe diseases. Metal ion transporters play a major role in maintaining the correct concentrations of the various metal ions in the different cellular compartments ...

Metals in Cyanobacteria: Analysis of the Copper, Nickel, Cobalt and Arsenic Homeostasis Mechanisms
Life, 2014 Traces of metal are required for fundamental biochemical processes, such as photosynthesis and respiration. Cyanobacteria metal homeostasis acquires an important role because the photosynthetic machinery imposes a high demand for metals, making them a ...

Autophagy: A role in metal ion homeostasis? [PDF]
Autophagy, 2008 Nutrient limitation is one of the most common forms of stress encountered by microorganisms in the environment. Surviving this stress depends upon a number of integrated responses, one of the most important of which is autophagy. When the filamentous fungus Aspergillus fumigatus becomes nutrient deprived it undergoes two important processes: the ...

Lysosome-related Organelles as Mediators of Metal Homeostasis [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2014 Metal ion assimilation is essential for all forms of life. However, organisms must properly control the availability of these nutrients within the cell to avoid inactivating proteins by mismetallation. To safeguard against an imbalance between supply and demand in eukaryotes, intracellular compartments contain metal transporters that load and unload ...
