A novel copper-binding protein with characteristics of a metallothionein from a clinical isolate of Candida albicans

Article Abstract:

A novel copper-binding protein from a clinical isolate of Candida albicans is discussed. The protein has characteristics of a metallothionein (MT). The copper/protein ratio went up steadily through the purification steps. The amino-terminal segment of the protein had three Cys-Xaa-Cys motifs as a metallothionein would and significant homology with mammalian MTs was seen relative to the positions of the cysteine residues.

Regulation of the aerobic respiratory chain in the facultatively aerobic and hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrobaculum oguniense

Article Abstract:

Results show that the aerobic respiratory pathway is expressed in anaerobic Pyrobaculum oguniense. Data indicate that the transcription of the gene cluster of SoxB-type haem-copper oxidase and cytochrome bc complex occurs both in aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
