Abstract excerpt
We cloned an operon, copAB, from Enterococcus hirae encoding two P-type ATPases of 727 and 745 amino acids, respectively. Both enzymes display heavy metal ion binding motifs in their polar N-terminal region. With an antibody against CopB, we showed on Western blots that expression of the operon i...
