Lin Z, Ma G, Li F, Shu J, Chang L: [Isolation, purification and identification of metallothionein from strain BD102 of Hansenula anomala]. Wei Sheng Wu Xue Bao. 2001 Apr;41(2):216-22.
Metallothionein (MTs) in Cu and Cd resistant strain BD102 of Hansenula anomala were induced by administration of Cu2+ and Cd2+. These proteins were isolated and purified by Sephadex G-50 and subsequent DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B, then Sephadex G-25 for desalation. There were two isoform MTs by Cu (Cu-MTs), one form induced by Cd (Cd-MT). The molecular weights of the Cu-MTs and the Cd-MT were about 7 kD and 7.5 kD respectively. Exposure of Hansenula anomala to copper salts stimulated formation of two isoform Cu-MTs with a cysteine content of 6.6-6.8% and had 60 amino acids. Exposure of Hansenula anomala to cadmium, stimulated formation of Cd-MT with a cystein content of 10% was synthesized and had 61 amino acids. 4 atom Cu or Cd/mole MTs. |
