Abstract excerpt
Copper transport by the P(1)-ATPase ATP7B, or Wilson disease protein (WNDP),1 is essential for human metabolism. Perturbation of WNDP function causes intracellular copper accumulation and severe pathology, known as Wilson disease (WD). Several WD mutations are clustered within the WNDP nucleotide-binding domain (N-domain), where they are predicted to disrupt ATP binding. The mechanism by which the N-domain...
