Construction of Zn2+/Cd2+ hypersensitive cyanobacterial mutants lacking a functional metallothionein locus.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 25 Feb 1993

Abstract excerpt

Eukaryotic metallothioneins (MTs) have been extensively studied, but the precise functions of most of these molecules are not yet fully understood. Prokaryotes are often more tractable for the analysis of gene function and we report here the generation of mutants of Synechococcus PCC 7942 (strain R2-PIM8) deficient in the MT locus, smt. Viability of these mutants, designated R2-PIM8 (smt), reveals that...
