AzuR From the SmtB/ArsR Family of Transcriptional Repressors Regulates Metallothionein in Anabaena sp. Strain PCC 7120

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Metallothioneins (MTs) are cysteine-rich, metal-sequestering cytosolic proteins that play a key role in maintaining metal homeostasis and detoxification.

Structure of Mammalian Metallothionein [PDF]

Environmental Health Perspectives, 1984
All mammalian metallothioneins characterized contain a single polypeptide chain of 61 amino acid residues, among them 20 cysteines providing the ligands for seven metal-binding sites. Native metallothioneins are usually heterogeneous in metal composition, with Zn, Cd, and Cu occurring in varying proportions.

Crambescin C1 Acts as A Possible Substrate of iNOS and eNOS Increasing Nitric Oxide Production and Inducing In Vivo Hypotensive Effect

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Crambescins are guanidine alkaloids from the sponge Crambe crambe. Crambescin C1 (CC) induces metallothionein genes and nitric oxide (NO) is one of the triggers.

Copper and zinc ligands of pisum sativum and expression of psMT(_A) [PDF]

, 1995
The gene, PsMT(_A) is highly expressed in the roots of the garden pea, Pisum sativum. The predicted primary structures of homologues of the PsMT(_A) gene from a range of plant species were compared. Common features are amino and carboxyl terminal domains
