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.
