Abstract

Drosophila MTO metal binding features were analyzed for comparison with MTN, the paralogous Drosophila metallothionein, and to classify MTO as either zinc- or copper-thionein. This was achieved by a combination of in vivo, in vitro and in silico methodologies. All the results unambiguously classified MTO as a second Drosophila copper-thionein, putting Drosophila forward as the only metazoan in which any zinc-thionein has still to be reported. Interestingly, experimental data only showed minor differences in the coordinative behavior of both MTs, but provided a characteristic spectroscopic fingerprint, revealing the possible binding of chloride anions in certain metal-MTO aggregates. © 2002 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
