FEA1 does not transport cadmium in transgenic yeast. (A) RT-PCR analysis of FEA1 expression in Δfet3fet4 mutant yeast cells transformed with pYES2:FEA1. Actin expression was used as an internal control. (B) Growth rates of wild-type, iron uptake mutants (Δfet3fet4), and mutants complemented with pYES2:FEA1. Cell were grown in SC-URA medium containing 2% (w/v) galactose with various amounts (μM) of cadmium and iron (C) ICP-MS analysis of iron concentrations normalized for cell number. (D) ICP analysis of cadmium concentrations normalized for cell number. Data are means + SE of three replicate experiments.
