title: Molecular biology of iron and zinc uptake in eukaryotes.
abstract: Recent studies of iron uptake in Saccharomyces cerevisiae have provided insights into the role of multicopper oxidases in eukaryotic metal transport. These studies have also led to the identification of a novel iron transporter in plants and the recognition of a new family of transporter proteins that may participate in metal uptake in a diverse array of eukaryotic species.
