HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Sandra H. Klompmaker from the University of have published the research work: Magnesium uptake by connecting fluid-phase endocytosis to an intracellular inorganic cation filter, in the Journal: NATURE COMMUNICATIONS NATURE COMMUNICATIONS
- what: The authors investigate how Saccharomyces cerevisiae copes with limited bioavailability of metal ions, mimicking this situation by growing the cells in medium with EDTA.
SUMMARY
Since plasma_membrane metal transporters need free ions for uptake, mitigating strategies for metal acquisition in environments with low metal bioavailability would prove beneficial. This mechanism has been described for iron and, more . . .
