Earthworm Lumbricus rubellus MT-2: Metal Binding and Protein Folding of a True Cadmium-MT
Earthworms express, as most animals, metallothioneins (MTs)—small, cysteine-rich proteins that bind d(10) metal ions (Zn(II), Cd(II), or Cu(I)) in clusters. Three MT homologues are known for Lumbricus rubellus, the common red earthworm, one of which, wMT-2, is strongly induced by exposure of worms t...
