Zinc (Zn) is an essential nutrient supporting a range of critical processes. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Zn deficiency induces a transcriptional response mediated by the Zap1 activator, which controls a regulon of ~80 genes. A subset of these support zinc homeostasis by promoting zinc upt...
