Metallothionein (MT) is a small protein (around 6-7 kDa) which is rich in cysteine.

Usage and Biology

Metallothionein (MT) is a small protein (around 6-7 kDa) which is rich in cysteine. These thiol group in cysteines provide ability to chelate almost all heavy metal ions including Cd2+, Hg2+, Pb2+ and As3+, but had been shown that has higher binding affinity with Hg2+ (Manceau, A. et al., 2019). The ability of chelating heavy metals provides the metal tolerance for its hosts. This MT sequence was obtained from Mytilus edulis, a blue mussel which originally live in aqueous environment (MACKAY E. A. et al.,1993).

This is one of the three types of silica-binding tags we explored for immobilising metallothioneins to silica beads. Car9 was also a silica-tag part used by the 2021 Edinburgh OG Team.
