High-affinity copper transporter 1 (CTR1) is a key link in the transfer of copper (Cu) from the extracellular environment to the cell. Violation in the control system of its expression, or mutations in this gene, cause a global copper imbalance. However, the mechanism of copper transfer CTR1 remains unclear. It has been shown that transformed bacteria synthesizing the fused GB1-NdCTR become resistant to toxic silver ions. According to UV-Vis spectrophotometry and isothermal titration calorimetry, electrophoretically pure GB1-NdCTR specifically and reversibly binds copper and silver ions, and binding is associated with aggregation. Purified NdCTR1 forms SDS-resistant oligomers. The link between nontrivial properties of NdCTR1 and copper import mechanism from extracellular space, as well as potential chelating properties of NdCTR1, are discussed.
高亲和力铜转运蛋白1(CTR1)是铜(Cu)从细胞外环境转运至细胞过程中的关键环节。其表达控制系统出现异常或该基因发生突变,会导致整体铜失衡。然而,CTR1介导的铜转运机制仍不清楚。研究表明,合成融合蛋白GB1-NdCTR的转化菌对有毒银离子具有抗性。根据紫外可见分光光度法和等温滴定量热法,电泳纯的GB1-NdCTR能特异性且可逆地结合铜离子和银离子,并且这种结合与聚集有关。纯化后的NdCTR1形成抗SDS的寡聚体。本文讨论了NdCTR1的特殊性质与细胞外空间铜导入机制之间的联系,以及NdCTR1潜在的螯合特性。
