The first NMR structure of a Cu(I)-bound metallochaperone model with the conserved sequence MT/HCXXC revealed that at pH ∼3.0 and ∼6.8 Cu(I) binds through one Cys and the Met rather than the two Cys residues, differently than at pH ∼8.5. This suggests a possible role of Met in metal transport.
该结构显示,在 pH 值约为 3.0 和 6.8 时,Cu(I)通过一个半胱氨酸和蛋氨酸而不是两个半胱氨酸残基结合,而不是在 pH 值约为 8.5 时的情况。这表明蛋氨酸在金属运输中可能具有作用。
