To gain insight in the molecular basis of copper homeostasis during meiosis, we have used DNA microarrays to analyze meiotic gene expression in the model yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Profiling data identified a novel meiosis-specific gene, termed mfc1(+), that encodes a putative major facilitator superfamily-type transporter. Although Mfc1 does not exhibit any significant sequence homology ...
Although the physiological function of the prion protein remains unknown, in vitro experiments suggest that the protein may bind copper (II) ions and play a role in copper transport or homoeostasis in vivo. The unstructured N-terminal region of the prion protein has been shown to bind up to six copper (II) ions, with each of these ions co-ordinated by a single histidine imidazole and nearby bac...
Major copper proteins in the cytoplasm of plant cells are plastocyanin, copper/zinc superoxide dismutase, and cytochrome c oxidase. Under copper limited conditions, expression of copper/zinc superoxide dismutase is down-regulated and the protein is replaced by iron superoxide dismutase in chloroplasts. We present evidence that a micro-RNA, miR398, mediates this regulation in Arabidopsis thalian...
Background and purpose: Copper is a trace element that is used in various industries. Copper nano-particles are being used in different skin care products, lubricants, oils, polymers, metal covers, plastics, inks, etc. Previous studies have shown that both copper sulfate and copper nano-particles can induce cellular genotoxicity and DNA damage. So, this study aimed at evaluating and comparing g...
Mechanisms involved in maintaining cytoplasmic metal ion homeostasis play a central role in the adaptation of Helicobacter pylori to the changing gastric environment. An investigation of the global regulatory responses to copper ions by using RNA profiling with a threshold factor of 4.0 revealed that copper induces transcription of 19 H. pylori genes and that only the ferritin gene pfr is repre...
Lactococcus lactis IL1403, a lactic acid bacterium widely used for food fermentation, is often exposed to stress conditions. One such condition is exposure to copper, such as in cheese making in copper vats. Copper is an essential micronutrient in prokaryotes and eukaryotes but can be toxic if in excess. Thus, copper homeostatic mechanisms, consisting chiefly of copper transporters and their re...
The metallochaperone Atox1 directly interacts with the copper-transporting ATPases and plays a critical role in perinatal copper homeostasis. To determine the cell biological mechanisms of Atox1 function, intracellular copper metabolism, and Menkes ATPase abundance, localization and trafficking were examined in immortalized fibroblast cell lines derived from Atox1(+/+) and Atox1(-/-) embryos. C...
Purebred Duroc gilts were fed 0, 15, 30, or 60 ppm of supplemental copper with 100 or 200 ppm of supplemental iron throughout four reproductive cycles. Traits studied included: gestation, lactation, and weaning-to-estrus weight changes; total and live pigs farrowed; total and live pig birth weights and weaned weights at 3 weeks of age; and hemoglobin, hematocri t and plasma copper and iron of s...
A comprehensive mechanistic study conducted on the formation mechanism of five-fold twinned copper nanowires by heating copper(I) chloride with oleylamine at 170 °C is presented. Electron microscopy and UV-visible absorption spectra are used to analyze the growth mechanism of copper nanowires. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy and selected-area electron diffraction are used to in...
BACKGROUND: The role of copper accumulation in the onset of hepatitis is still unclear. Therefore, we investigated a spontaneous disease model of primary copper-toxicosis in Doberman pinschers so to gain insights into the pathophysiology of copper toxicosis, namely on genes involved in copper metabolism and reactive oxygen species (ROS) defences. RESULTS: We used quantitative real-time PCR to d...
