Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Neurospora crassa contain heavy metal sequestering phytochelatin.

Archives of microbiology - 1 Jan 1992

Kneer R, Kutchan T M, Hochberger A, Zenk M H

Abstract excerpt

In fungi, cellular resistance to heavy metal cytotoxicity is mediated either by binding of metal ions to proteins of the metallothionein type or by chelation to phytochelatin-peptides of the general formula (gamma-Glu-Cys)n-Gly. Hitherto, only one fungus, Candida glabrata has been shown to contain both metal inactivating systems. Here we show by unambiguous FAB-MS analysis that both a metallothionein-free mutant...
