Zinc is an essential nutrient for all organisms because this metal serves as a critical
structural or catalytic cofactor for many proteins. These zinc-dependent proteins are …

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 …

Spt6 is a conserved factor that controls transcription and chromatin structure across the
genome. Although Spt6 is viewed as an elongation factor, spt6 mutations in Saccharomyces …

Northern blot analysis detects RNA molecules immobilized on nylon membranes through
hybridization with radioactive 32P-labeled DNA or RNA oligonucleotide probes …

Malnutrition is one of the risk factors in tuberculosis (TB) infection. Mineral levels
perturbation is seen in patients with TB. Moreover there are some strategies to starve …

Ubiquitin is a highly conserved small eukaryotic protein. It is generated by proteolytic
cleavage of precursor proteins in which it is fused either to itself, constituting a polyubiquitin …

Ubiquitin conjugation signals for selective protein degradation by the proteasome. In
eukaryotes, ubiquitin is encoded both as a monomeric ubiquitin unit fused to a ribosomal …

Ubi4 is a polyubiquitin precursor well characterized in yeasts but unexplored in insect
mycopathogens. Here, we report that orthologous Ubi4 plays a core role in ubiquitin‐and …

Zinc is required for many critical processes, including intermediary metabolism. In
Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the Zap1 activator regulates the transcription of∼ 80 genes in …

Assimilation of heme is mediated by the cell surface protein Shu1 in Schizosaccharomyces
pombe. Shu1 undergoes internalization from the cell surface to the vacuole in response to …
