Studies of the metal and DNA binding properties of the zinc(II)metalloregulatory protein, Synechococcus PCC 7942 SMTB /

Homeostatic control of intracellular metal ion concentration is an important process for all organisms. In the cyanobacteria Synechococcus, cellular response to toxic levels of Zn(II) and Cd(II) is performed by the metallothionein protein, SmtA. Regulation of the expression of this metallothionein...
