SUMMARY
Copper (Cu) is an essential trace element and a catalytic cofactor for a variety of enzymes

involved in cell growth, development, and stress resistance. Fungal systems have been

instrumental in identifying mechanisms of Cu utilization and homeostasis in diverse eukaryotic

cells. The experiments in this proposal will use a relevant fungal…
