Pipes and wiring: the regulation of copper uptake and distribution in yeast.
Copper is required for processes as conserved as respiration and as specialized as protein modification. Recent exciting findings from studies in yeast cells have revealed the presence of specific pathways for copper transport, trafficking and signal transduction that maintain the delicate balance of this essential yet toxic metal ion.
