Abstract excerpt
Metal responsive element (MRE)-binding transcription factor-1 (MTF-1) is a zinc finger (ZF) transcription factor that plays a key role in heavy metal homeostasis by regulating relevant genes in response to metals. MTF-1 is known to be activated by heavy metals such as Zn and Cd, but the mechanism of activation remains unclear. In the present study, Cys and His residues of human MTF-1 (hMTF-1), some of which may...
