We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

Function

CZCD_CUPMC Mediates a low-level metal ion resistance, probably by efflux of cations from the cytoplasm into the periplasm. Also mediates resistance to cobalt, cadmium and zinc via regulation of the Czc system. May repress expression of the Czc system by an export of the inducing cations. Binds and transports zinc. Can also bind cobalt, copper and nickel.^[1] ^[2]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Zinc is a potent antimicrobial component of the innate immune response at the host-pathogen interface. Bacteria subvert or resist host zinc insults by metal efflux pathways that include cation diffusion facilitator (CDF) proteins. The structural and functional examination of this protein class has been limited, with only the structures of the zinc transporter YiiP proteins from E. coli and Shewanella oneidensis described to date. Here, we determine the metal binding properties, solution quaternary structures and three dimensional architectures of the C-terminal domains of the metal transporter CzcD proteins from Cupriavidus metallidurans, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Thermotoga maritima. We reveal significant diversity in the metal-binding properties and structures of these proteins and discover a potential novel mechanism for metal-promoted dimerization for the Cupriavidus metallidurans and Pseudomonas aeruginosa proteins.
