Microbial metallothioneins.

Advances in microbial physiology - 1 Jan 2001

Robinson N J, Whitehall S K, Cavet J S

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial metallothioneins bind, sequester and buffer excess intracellular zinc. At present, the vast majority of the available experimental data relate to cyanobacterial metallothionein, SmtA, from Synechococcus PCC 7942. SmtA is required for normal resistance to zinc and smtA-mediated zinc resistance has been used as a selectable marker. The imidazole groups of histidine residues, in addition to the thiol...
