smtA ( Metallothionein, Cd2+ binding protein)
Metallothionein (MT) is a family of cysteine-rich, low molecular weight (MW ranging from 500 to 14000 Da) proteins. MTs have the capacity to bind both physiological (such as zinc, copper, selenium) and xenobiotic (such as cadmium, mercury, silver, arsenic) heavy metals through the thiol group of its cysteine residues .
Synechococcus PCC. 7942 gene smtA encodes the protein designated to be a metallothionein (MT). While expressing this gene in E.coli, it can increase cadmium ion tolerance of E.coli and so does the accumulation of cadmium ion.
