Cell Death Dis
. 2019 May;
10(6):390.
PMID: 31101804
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients display dismal prognosis due to high prevalence of refractory and relapsed disease resulting from chemoresistance. Treatment protocols, primarily based on the anchor drug Cytarabine, remained...

J Biol Chem
. 2016 May;
291(26):13546-59.
PMID: 27137936
A gradually increasing number of transient neonatal zinc deficiency (TNZD) cases was recently reported, all of which were associated with inactivating ZnT2 mutations. Here we characterized the impact of three...

Golan Y, Berman B, Assaraf Y
J Biol Chem
. 2015 Feb;
290(14):9050-63.
PMID: 25657003
Zinc plays a crucial role in numerous key physiological functions. Zinc transporters (ZnTs) mediate zinc efflux and compartmentalization in intracellular organelles; thus, ZnTs play a central role in zinc homeostasis....

J Biol Chem
. 2014 Jan;
289(11):7275-92.
PMID: 24451381
Zinc transporters (ZnTs) facilitate zinc efflux and zinc compartmentalization, thereby playing a key role in multiple physiological processes and pathological disorders, presumed to be modulated by transporter dimerization. We recently...

Lasry I, Seo Y, Ityel H, Shalva N, Pode-Shakked B, Glaser F, et al.
J Biol Chem
. 2012 Jun;
287(35):29348-61.
PMID: 22733820
Zinc is an essential mineral, and infants are particularly vulnerable to zinc deficiency as they require large amounts of zinc for their normal growth and development. We have recently described...

Biochem Biophys Res Commun
. 2009 Jun;
386(3):426-31.
PMID: 19508863
The proton-coupled folate transporter (PCFT/SLC46A1) mediates intestinal folate uptake at acidic pH. Some loss of folic acid (FA) transport mutations in PCFT from hereditary folate malabsorption (HFM) patients cluster in...

. 2008 Jun;
112(5):2055-61.
PMID: 18559978
Hereditary folate malabsorption (HFM) patients harbor inactivating mutations including R113S in the proton-coupled folate transporter (PCFT), an intestinal folate transporter with optimal activity at acidic pH. Here we identified and...

Cancer Chemother Pharmacol
. 2006 Apr;
58(6):826-34.
PMID: 16612649
Cellular uptake of hydrophilic antifolates proceeds via the reduced folate carrier whereas lipophilic antifolates enter cells by diffusion. Recently we have shown that transfectant cells overexpressing the mutant G482 ABCG2...

Rothem L, Berman B, Stark M, Jansen G, Assaraf Y
Mol Pharmacol
. 2005 Jun;
68(3):616-24.
PMID: 15939798
Folate cofactors are one-carbon donors essential for the biosynthesis of purines and thymidylate. Mammalian cells are devoid of folate biosynthesis and are therefore folate auxotrophs that take up folate vitamins...
