Cadmium Uptake, MT Gene Activation and Structure of Large-Sized Multi-Domain Metallothioneins in the Terrestrial Door Snail Alinda biplicata (Gastropoda, Clausiliidae)

Terrestrial snails (Gastropoda) possess Cd-selective metallothioneins (CdMTs) that inactivate Cd(2+) with high affinity. Most of these MTs are small Cysteine-rich proteins that bind 6 Cd(2+) equivalents within two distinct metal-binding domains, with a binding stoichiometry of 3 Cd(2+) ions per doma...
