Yeast metallothionein. Sequence and metal-binding properties.
The protein product of the CUP1 locus in Cu-resistant Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been purified and characterized. The protein was found to lack the first 8 amino acids predicted by the nucleotide sequence of the gene. The residues removed from the amino-terminal region include 5 hydrophobic residues, two of which are aromatic. The unique amino terminus starting at Gln9 of the putative DNA tra...
متن کاملSemi-empirical simulation of Zn/Cd binding site preference in the metal binding domains of mammalian metallothionein.
Metallothionein, a two-domain protein, naturally binds seven gram atoms of divalent ions such as Zn and Cd. Four of the metals (M1, M5, M6 and M7) are found in the alpha-domain and three (M2, M3 and M4) in the beta-domain. Previous studies have shown that metals in the beta-domain are more readily exchangeable, and the level of avidity is site specific. By semi-empirical MNDO modified neglect o...
متن کاملOxidation Protection in Metal-Binding Peptide Motif and Its Application to Antibody for Site-Selective Conjugation
Here, we demonstrate that a metal ion binding motif could serve as an efficient and robust tool for site-specific conjugation strategy. Cysteine-containing metal binding motifs were constructed as single repeat or tandem repeat peptides and their metal binding characteristics were investigated. The tandem repeats of the Cysteine-Glycine-Histidine (CGH) metal ion binding motif exhibited concerte...
متن کاملFormation of the metal-thiolate clusters of rat liver metallothionein.
The isoforms of rat liver apo-metallothionein (MT) were reconstituted in vitro with Cd and Zn ions to study the order of binding of the seven metal sites. Reconstitution with seven Cd ions resulted in a metalloprotein similar to induced Cd,Zn-MT by the criteria of electrophoretic mobility, insensitivity to proteolysis by subtilisin and the pH-dependent release of Cd. Proteolytic digestion of MT...
متن کاملCucumber Metallothionein-Like 2 (CsMTL2) Exhibits Metal-Binding Properties
We identified a novel member of the metallothionein (MT) family, Cucumis sativus metallothionein-like 2 (CsMTL2), by screening a young cucumber fruit complementary DNA (cDNA) library. The CsMTL2 encodes a putative 77-amino acid Class II MT protein that contains two cysteine (Cys)-rich domains separated by a Cys-free spacer region. We found that CsMTL2 expression was regulated by metal stress an...
