Bacterial metallothioneins [PDF]
Postępy Mikrobiologii - Advancements of Microbiology, 2017 Abstract Heavy metals are found in all living organisms where, as indispensable microelements (e.g. zinc, iron, copper), are involved in endless metabolic processes. However, living organisms are also at a risk of exposure to highly toxic metals, including cadmium or lead, which do not play any physiological role.

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1987 Early research on metallothionein centered on aspects related to a detoxification role. As our understanding of the complex endocrine control that regulates metallothionein gene expression increases, a wider appreciation of a functional role(s) is emerging.

IUBMB Life, 2017 AbstractMetallothioneins (MTs) are a class of low molecular weight and cysteine‐rich metal binding proteins present in all the branches of the tree of life. MTs efficiently bind with high affinity several essential and toxic divalent and monovalent transition metals by forming characteristic polynuclear metal‐thiolate clusters within their structure ...

Metallothionein: An overview [PDF]
World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2007 Metallothioneins (MTs) were discovered in 1957 by Margoshes and Vallee and identified as low-molecular weight and sulphydryl rich proteins. It is not surprising that most mammalian tissues contain age related basal levels of MTs since they are involved in metalloregulatory processes that include cell growth and multiplication.

The Evolution of Insect Metallothioneins [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2020 ABSTRACT Metallothioneins (MTs) are a family of cysteine-rich metal-binding proteins that are important in the chelating and detoxification of toxic heavy metals. Until now, the short length and the low sequence complexity of MTs has hindered the possibility of any phylogenetic reconstruction, hampering the study of ...
