Conserved residues modulate copper release in human copper chaperone Atox1.
It is unclear how the human copper (Cu) chaperone Atox1 delivers Cu to metal-binding domains of Wilson and Menkes disease proteins in the cytoplasm. To begin to address this problem, we have characterized Cu(I) release from wild-type Atox1 and two point mutants (Met(10)Ala and Lys(60)Ala). The dynamics of Cu(I) displacement from holo-Atox1 were measured by using the Cu(I) chelator bicinchonic a...
متن کاملConserved residue modulates copper-binding properties through structural dynamics in human copper chaperone Atox1.
The human copper chaperone Atox1 plays a central role in the transport of copper in cells. It has been reported that the conserved residue Lys60 contributes to the heterocomplex stability of Atox1 with its target protein ATPase, and that the K60A mutation could diminish the copper transfer. In this work, we carried out the structure determination and dynamic analysis of Atox1 with the K60A muta...
متن کاملCopper binding modulates the platination of human copper chaperone Atox1 by antitumor trans-platinum complexes.
The transport system of platinum-based anticancer agents is crucial for drug sensitivity. Increasing evidence indicates that the copper transport system is also involved in the cellular influx and efflux of platinum drugs. The copper chaperone Atox1 has been shown to bind to cisplatin in vitro and in cells. Previous results reveal that copper binding promotes the reaction between Atox1 and cisp...
متن کاملCopper binding promotes the interaction of cisplatin with human copper chaperone Atox1.
Cu(I) binding promotes the platination of Atox1, although cisplatin binds to the copper coordination sites. In addition, Cu(I) binding enhances the competition of Atox1 with DTT in the reaction of cisplatin. These results indicate that cuprous ions could regulate the cellular trafficking of cisplatin.
متن کاملCopper accumulation and compartmentalization in mouse fibroblast lacking metallothionein and copper chaperone, Atox1.
Copper (Cu) is the active center of some enzymes because of its redox-active property, although that property could have harmful effects. Because of this, cells have strict regulation/detoxification systems for this metal. In this study, multi-disciplinary approaches, such as speciation and elemental imaging of Cu, were applied to reveal the detoxification mechanisms for Cu in cells bearing a d...
