The copper transporter CTR1 regulates cisplatin uptake in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Resistance to cisplatin (DDP) is often accompanied by impaired accumulation in mammalian cells. The mechanism of impaired DDP accumulation is unknown, but copper uptake is diminished as well. We investigated the ability of the copper transporter CTR1 to control the accumulation of DDP in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Parallel studies of copper and DDP cellular pharmacokinetics were carried out usin...
متن کاملOverlap of copper and iron uptake systems in mitochondria in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the mitochondrial carrier family protein Pic2 imports copper into the matrix. Deletion of PIC2 causes defects in mitochondrial copper uptake and copper-dependent growth phenotypes owing to decreased cytochrome c oxidase activity. However, copper import is not completely eliminated in this mutant, so alternative transport systems must exist. Deletion of MRS3, a compo...
متن کاملSiderophore-Iron Uptake in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
A family of four putative transporters (Arn1p–4p) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is expressed under conditions of iron deprivation and is regulated by Aft1p, the major iron-dependent transcription factor in yeast. One of these, Arn3p/Sit1p, facilitates the uptake of ferrioxamine B, a siderophore of the hydroxamate class. Here we report that ARN family members facilitated the uptake of iron from th...
متن کاملDetermination of Copper Content of Human Blood Plasma by an Ion Selective Electrode based on a New Copper-Selectophore
A new selectophore was introduced for Cu2+ ions. Spectroscopic studies showed a selectivity of a new organic compound (L) toward copper ions and several transitional metal ions. Hence, L was utilized in designing several ion selective electrodes for these cations. In practice, Cu2+ ion selective electrode behaved Nernstian (slope of 27.95±0.3 mV decade-1) over a...
متن کاملCharacterization of Encapsulated Berberine in Yeast Cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Berberine was loaded in yeast cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiaeas a novel pharmaceutical carrier to improve the treatment ofmany diseases. The yeast-encapsulated active materialsshowedhigh stability and bioavailability due to the enhanced solubility and sustained releasing. In this study, different characteristics of prepared berberine loaded yeast cells (loading capacity, release kinetic order...
