A Genetic and Physiological Study of the Role of Extracellular Copper-Binding Proteins in Copper Detoxification by the Marine Bacterium <i>Vibrio alginolyticus</i>
<p>Supernatant proteins in <em>Vibrio alginolyticus</em> batch cultures were analyzed by SDS-PAGE before copper was added, 24 and 48 hours after the addition of copper, and in 24 hour control (no Cu) cultures. Two proteins, one 21 kilodalton (kDa) and one 19 kDa, were found to be copper-induced, …

Cellular Copper Import Mechanisms via Secreted Cuproproteins: Exploring Metal Homeostasis in Pseudogymnoascus destructans
… how cellular metal status effects Bim1-like Proteins (BLPs) and high-affinity copper transporters (CTR proteins) transcription levels. These two families of copper-binding proteins have been shown to facilitate copper uptake, which is critical for fungal growth, survival, and virulence, …

Expanding the metallomics toolbox: Development of chemical and biological methods in understanding copper biochemistry
Copper is an essential trace element and required for various biological processes, but free copper is toxic. Therefore, copper is tightly regulated in living cells and disruptions in this homeostatic machinery are implicated in numerous diseases. The current understanding of copper homeostasis is …

Characterization of Drosophila Ctr1a: New Roles for Ctr1 Proteins and Copper in Physiology and Cell Signaling Pathways
<p>Copper is an essential trace element required by all aerobic organisms as a co-factor for enzymes involved in normal growth, development and physiology. Ctr1 proteins are members of a highly conserved family of copper importers responsible for copper uptake across the plasma membrane. Mice …
