Analysis of Zinc Transporters in C. elegans
Zinc is a trace element essential for organisms, and organisms have homeostatic mechanisms to control zinc metabolism. Zinc metabolism is mediated by numerous proteins including zinc transporters, zinc-responsive transcription factors and zinc-binding proteins. Of these proteins, zinc transporters, …

Reverse genetics analysis of biological functions of zinc transporters Znt1 (Slc30a1) & Zip10 (Slc39a10) in zebrafish
Zinc is an essential micronutrient indispensable for all forms of life, and disturbances in its homeostasis predispose the body to zinc imbalance-related diseases in man and animals. Mechanisms exist that enable organisms to regulate this metal element, which include proteins that control zinc …

Elucidating the mechanisms by which the human pathogen staphylococcus aureus resists host-imposed zinc starvation
… the host sequesters essential nutrients such as zinc, iron, and manganese in order to prevent pathogens from obtaining them, a process termed nutritional immunity. In response, bacterial pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus have evolved mechanisms to overcome this starvation. One common …

Drosophila as a model for the Anopheles Malpighian tubule
… Malpighian tubules contain many ion channels and transporters, they could be an effective tissue for targeting with novel pesticides to control populations of Diptera. Many of the insecticide compounds used to control insect pest species are no longer suited to their task, and so new means of …
