Abstract

1. The main mechanisms involved in heavy metal cation homeostasis in marine invertebrate cells are described.

2. Metallothioneins are probably the most important soluble compounds involved in heavy metal cation homeostasis. The biochemical characteristics of these metalloproteins and the relationship between their amino acid composition and heavy metal binding capacity are elucidated. Moreover data are reported concerning the physiological role of metallothioneins e.g. heavy metal detoxification, cellular metal redistribution, free radical scavenger action, etc. The possible meaning of different soluble compounds in heavy metal cation homeostasis is also discussed.

3. The biochemical role of lysosomes in heavy metal cation compartmentalization and the involvement of these organelles in metallothionein accumulation and sequestration are shown.

4. Data are reported concerning the sequestration of heavy metal cations in insoluble granules as a mechanism of metal detoxification.

海洋无脊椎动物体内重金属阳离子稳态机制研究

1. 本文介绍了海洋无脊椎动物细胞中重金属离子稳态的主要机制。金属硫蛋白可能是参与重金属阳离子动态平衡的最重要的可溶性化合物。阐明了这些金属蛋白的生化特性及其氨基酸组成与重金属结合能力的关系。此外，关于金属硫蛋白的生理作用，如重金属解毒、细胞金属再分配、自由基清除作用等也有报道。讨论了不同可溶性化合物在重金属阳离子稳态中的可能意义。揭示了溶酶体在重金属阳离子区隔中的生化作用，以及这些细胞器在金属硫蛋白积累和封存中的作用。数据报道了重金属阳离子在不溶性颗粒中的隔离作为金属解毒的机制。
