Abstract excerpt
Metallothioneins (MTs) are a superfamily of cysteine-rich proteins essential for metal homeostasis and detoxification. While mammalian and plant MTs have been extensively characterized, fungal MTs remain comparatively understudied despite their remarkable sequence diversity. In particular, members of the fungal-IV MT family from Yarrowia lipolytica exhibit unusual sequence features, including a conserved CCC...
