摘要
铜是生物体必需的微量元素.目前发现,体内铜平衡机制是蛋白质介导的,它将细胞内的铜传递给靶蛋白.这一途径是通过新的蛋白质家族———铜伴侣蛋白实现的.铜伴侣蛋白对细胞内铜途径有重要作用.介绍了金属伴侣蛋白的功能、结构特点及铜伴侣蛋白的作用.
Copper is required by all living systems. Cells have a variety of mechanisms to deal with this essential, toxic trace element. A recently discovered homeostatic mechanism is the protein-mediated, intracellular delivery of copper to target proteins. Copper chaperones play an important role in intracellular copper routing. The function and structure of metallochaperone and copper chaperones were summarized.
