A cadmium protein from equine kidney cortex

TL;DR: The interaction between ATP and MT and the associated conformational change of the protein affect the sulfhydryl reactivity and zinc transfer potential of MT suggests a mechanism for the cellular translocation, retention, and reactivity of the ATP*MT complex in the mitochondrial intermembrane space.

TL;DR: Three species of terrestrial Helicidae were fed cadmium-rich diet in the laboratory and some features of the isolated proteins resembled mammalian metallothioneins, however, most characteristics differed from true metallOTHioneins and were similar to cadmiam-binding proteins found in some marine molluscs.

TL;DR: Metalation and demetalation of human metallothionein-2A (MT) with Cd(2+) is investigated by using chemical labeling and "bottom-up" and "top-down" proteomics approaches and is shown to be domain specific and occur as two distinct processes.

TL;DR: Amino acid analyses indicated a similarity between these proteins and the copper protein ‘L-6D’ isolated earlier from livers of Wilson's disease patients and distinguished them from metallothioneins which have been isolated from animals administered other trace metal ions.
