The ins and outs of metal homeostasis by the root nodule actinobacterium Frankia [PDF]
Background: Frankia are actinobacteria that form a symbiotic nitrogen-fixing association with actinorhizal plants, and play a significant role in actinorhizal plant colonization of metal contaminated areas.

Bioinformatic Mapping of Opine-Like Zincophore Biosynthesis in Bacteria
Zinc is an essential nutrient in biological systems due to its structural or catalytic requirement in proteins involved in diverse cellular processes. To meet this cellular demand, microbes must acquire sufficient zinc from their environment.

The molecular toxicity of the uranyl ion (UO22+) in living cells is primarily determined by its high affinity to both native and potential metal-binding sites that commonly occur in the structure of biomolecules.

X-ray microtomographic visualization of Escherichia coli by metalloprotein overexpression [PDF]
This paper reports X-ray microtomographic visualization of the microorganism Escherichia coli overexpressing a metalloprotein ferritin. The three-dimensional distribution of linear absorption coefficients determined using a synchrotron radiation microtomograph with a simple projection geometry revealed that the X-ray absorption was homogeneously ...

Almost half of all known proteins contain metal co-factors. Crucial for the flawless performance of a metalloprotein is the selection with high fidelity of the cognate metal cation from the surrounding biological fluids.
