IDENTIFICATION OF FTR1 AND ZRT1 AS IRON AND ZINC MICRONUTRIENT TRANSCEPTORS FOR ACTIVATION OF THE PKA PATHWAY IN SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE

Identification of Ftr1 and Zrt1 as iron and zinc micronutrient transceptors for activation of the PKA pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Multiple types of nutrient transceptors, membrane proteins that combine a transporter and receptor function, have now been established in a variety of organisms.However, so far all established transceptors utilize one of the macronutrients, glucose, amino acids, ammonium, nitrate, phosphate or sulfate, as substrate.This is also true for the Sacchar

An Innovative Procedure for the Rolling Noise Evaluation

Noise is often generated by pressure changes in the air induced by mechanical vibrations.The study of these phenomena is known as gotrax handlebar structural acoustics or, in a more fashionable way, virboacoustics.Vibroacoustics is the study of the mechanical waves in structures and how they interact with, and radiate into, adjacent media.In railwa
