Abstract
The N-terminus of hCTR1 was demonstrated to bind three Cu(+) ions tightly (log K = 14.92) and reversibly via its Met-rich motifs. Ag(+) binds to the protein with the same stoichiometry but much lower affinities than Cu(+). The protein also coordinates two Cu(2+) ions through its ATCUN motif and His-rich motif with lower affinity. This study provides an insight into the selectivity of the transporter.Entities:
