Regulating cytoplasmic calcium homeostasis can reduce aluminum toxicity in yeast.
Our previous study suggested that increased cytoplasmic calcium (Ca) signals may mediate aluminum (Al) toxicity in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). In this report, we found that a yeast mutant, pmc1, lacking the vacuolar calcium ion (Ca(2+)) pump Ca(2+)-ATPase (Pmc1p), was more sensitive to Al trea...
