All living organisms require nutrient minerals for growth and have developed mechanisms to
acquire, utilize, and store nutrient minerals effectively. In the aqueous cellular environment …

Zinc is an essential catalytic and structural cofactor for many enzymes and other proteins.
While Zn2+ is not redox active under physiological conditions, it has been known for many …

To understand regulatory systems, it would be useful to uniformly determine how different
components contribute to the expression of all other genes. We therefore monitored mRNA …

Abstract Ammonia (NH 3), an inhaled harmful gas, is not only an important volatile in
fertilizer production and ranching, but also the main basic component of haze. However, the …

Zinc is an essential cofactor for many proteins. A key mechanism of zinc homeostasis during
deficiency is “zinc sparing” in which specific zinc-binding proteins are repressed to reduce …

Zinc is a ubiquitous metal in all life forms, as it is a structural component of the almost 10% of
eukaryotic proteins, which are called zinc-binding proteins. In zinc-limiting conditions such …

Zinc-responsive transcription factors are found in all kingdoms of life and include the
transcriptional activators ZntR, SczA, Zap1, bZip19, bZip23, and MTF-1, and transcriptional …

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) has complex and dynamic interactions with the human
host, and subpopulations of Mtb that emerge during infection can influence disease …

Zinc homeostasis is essential for fungal growth, as this metal is a critical structural
component of several proteins, including transcription factors. The fungal pathogen …

Fungal sulfur uptake is required for incorporation into the sidechains of the amino acids
cysteine and methionine, and is also essential for the biosynthesis of the antioxidant …
