摘要: Metal ion homeostasis and heavy metal detoxification systems are regulated by certain genes associated with metal ion transport. Metallothionein (MT) and metal response element binding transcription factor 1 (MTF-1) are important regulatory proteins involved in the mediation of intracellular metal ion balance. Differences in the zinc-binding affinities of the zinc fingers of MTF-1 and the alpha- and beta-domains of MT facilitate their regulation of Zn2+ concentration. Alterations in the intracellular concentration of Zn2+ influence the MTF-1 zinc finger number, and MTF-1 containing certain zinc finger numbers regulates the expression of corresponding target genes. The present review evaluates the association between zinc finger number in MTF-1 protein, MTF-1 target genes and the mechanism underlying. MT regulation of the zinc finger number in MTF-1.
