Obliterating a metal transporter immortalizes a fungus

Abstract: Copper in mitochondria tarnishes a fungus, according to new work. The study suggests that a dearth of the metal forces the organism to switch to a metabolic strategy that extends life. The results add to the evidence that fine-tuning metabolism can minimize cellular damage and delay death, although the organism sacrifices robust growth for that benefit.
