Copper acquisition and detoxification machineries are conserved in dimorphic fungi
2023, Fungal Biology ReviewsCitation Excerpt :In some fungi, however, regulation of copper homeostasis is performed by a single copper-responsive regulator, CUF1. ACE1/CUP2 in S. cerevisiae is polypeptide with 225 amino acids residues (Furst et al., 1988) presenting three subdomains. The amino terminal half contains a (i) zinc module (residues 1–40), with a (R/K)GRP sequence (residues 36–39) (Farrell et al., 1996), and a (ii) copper regulatory binding domain (CuRD) (residues 41–100), that harbors a consensus sequence rich in cysteine residues (Cys-X2-Cys-X12-14-Cys-X-Cys-X10-27-Cys-X-Cys-X5-Cys-X-Cys), predicted to coordinate four Cu1+ atoms through sulfur bonds (Furst et al., 1988).
Copper in infectious disease: Using both sides of the penny
2021, Seminars in Cell and Developmental BiologyCitation Excerpt :S. cerevisiae has two Cu binding transcription factors that control Cu homeostasis: Ace1p and Mac1p [81]. Ace1p senses elevated Cu concentrations and upregulates Cu detoxification machinery, namely Cu-binding metallothioneins [82–84]. Mac1p is the sensor and trans-regulator for low Cu and induces genes for Cu import including the CTR Cu permeases and cupric reductases that reduce extracellular Cu(II) to the Cu(I) substrate for the Ctr transporter proteins [85,86].
