Nutritional immunity beyond iron: a role for manganese and zinc (2009, background): “The importance of transition metals to cellular physiology is underscored by analyses of protein databases, which suggest that approximately 30% of all proteins interact with a metal cofactor [2,3].”
Metalloproteins and metal sensing (2009, background): “To achieve this state, the amount of each metal is somehow sensed to adjust the actions of transporters (at plasma membranes or internal compartments) and storage proteins for each elemen”
