Characterization of the Menkes protein copper-binding domains and their role in copper-induced protein relocalization.
Menkes disease is a fatal X-linked disorder of copper metabolism. The gene defective in Menkes disease (ATP7A) encodes a copper transporting P-type ATPase (MNK or ATP7A) with six copper-binding domains at its N-terminus. MNK is normally localized to the trans -Golgi network in cultured cells, but re...
