Abstract:Iron is an essential transition metal for all eukaryotic cells, and its trafficking throughout the cell is highly regulated. However, the overall cellular mechanism of regulation is poorly understood despite knowing many of the molecular players involved. Here, an ordinary-differential-equations (ODE) based kinetic model of iron trafficking within a growing yeast cell was developed that included autoregulation. The 9-reaction 8-component in-silico cell model was solved under both steady-state and time-dependen… Show more
