A Potential Involvement of Metallothionein in the Zinc Tolerance of Trichoderma harzianum: Experimental Findings
Metallothioneins are a group of cysteine-rich proteins that play an important role in the homeostasis and detoxification of heavy metals. The objective of this research was to explore the significance of metallothionein in Trichoderma harzianum tolerance to zinc. At the inhibitory concentration of 1000 ppm, the fungus adsorbed 16.7 ± 0.4 mg/g of metal. The HPLC and SDS-PAGE electrophoresis data suggested that the fungus production of metallothionein was twice as high in the presence of zinc as in the control group. The examination of the genes; metallothionein expression activator (MEA) and Cu fist revealed that the MEA, with a C2H2 zinc finger domain, increased significantly in the presence of zinc. It was observed that in T. harzianum, the enhanced expression of the metallothionein gene was managed by the metallothionein activator under zinc overload conditions. According to our knowledge, this is the first report on the role of metallothionein in the resistance of T. harzianum to zinc.
期刊介绍：
The Protein Journal (formerly the Journal of Protein Chemistry) publishes original research work on all aspects of proteins and peptides. These include studies concerned with covalent or three-dimensional structure determination (X-ray, NMR, cryoEM, EPR/ESR, optical methods, etc.), computational aspects of protein structure and function, protein folding and misfolding, assembly, genetics, evolution, proteomics, molecular biology, protein engineering, protein nanotechnology, protein purification and analysis and peptide synthesis, as well as the elucidation and interpretation of the molecular bases of biological activities of proteins and peptides. We accept original research papers, reviews, mini-reviews, hypotheses, opinion papers, and letters to the editor.
