Title: ZupT is a Zn(II) uptake system in Escherichia coli.

Authors: Grass, Gregor; Wong, Marco D; Rosen, Barry P; Smith, Ron L; Rensing, Christopher

Published In J Bacteriol, (2002 Feb)

Abstract: Escherichia coli zupT (ygiE), encoding a ZIP family member, mediated zinc uptake. Growth of cells disrupted in both zupT and the znuABC operon was inhibited by EDTA at a much lower concentration than a single mutant or the wild type. Cells expressing ZupT from a plasmid exhibited increased uptake of (65)Zn(2+).
