Dimerization of the copper metallothionein 1 : CUP1-(GGGGS)3-CUP1

This protein is made of two yeast copper metallotionein protein, CUP1 (BBa_M45090), linked together by a flexible linker made of three times the GGGGS amino acid sequence.

Usage and Biology

Copper metallotionein CUP1 (BBa_M45090) is a protein responsible for copper binding protein in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In order to increase the copper retrieval efficiency, two copies of CUP1 were linked together and expressed at the outter surface of S. cerevisiae (BBa_K4035009). The GGGGS is a common flexible linker and was inserted 3 times in order to allow distances between the two copies of CUP1 and avoid interaction.
