AzuR From the SmtB/ArsR Family of Transcriptional Repressors Regulates Metallothionein in Anabaena sp. Strain PCC 7120
Metallothioneins (MTs) are cysteine-rich, metal-sequestering cytosolic proteins that play a key role in maintaining metal homeostasis and detoxification. We had previously characterized NmtA, a MT from the heterocystous, nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 and demonstrated it...
