Calcium-assisted sortase A cleavage of SUMOylated metallothionein constructs leads to high-yield production of human MT3

Abstract Background Mammalian metallothioneins (MTs) are small (6–7 kDa), intracellular, cysteine-rich, metal-binding proteins involved, inter alia, in the homeostasis of zinc and copper, detoxification of heavy metals, antioxidation against reactive oxygen species, and protection against DNA damage...
