A subset of the diverse COG0523 family of putative metal chaperones is linked to zinc homeostasis in all kingdoms of life

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>COG0523 proteins are, like the nickel chaperones of the UreG family, part of the G3E family of GTPases linking them to metallocenter biosynthesis. Even though the first COG0523-encoding gene, <it>cobW</it>, was identified...
