MymT
MymT is a small prokaryotic copper metallothein discovered in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is believed that the protein may help the bacterium survive copper toxicity, though deleting the gene had no effect on pathogenicity in mice. It can bind up to 7 copper ions but has a preference for 4-6. Our version has a C terminal hexahistidine tag for purification and has been codon optimised for E. coli.
