Mytilus edulis Metallothionein
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. For its ability to binding heavy metal strongly, this part can be used to build structure which can capture heavy metal ions in aqueous environment. This MT sequence was obtained from Mytilus edulis, a blue mussel which originally live in aqueous environment (Manceau, A. et al., 2019) and designed as a C part for JUMP assembly (Valenzuela-Ortega M and French C., 2021).
