Metal Ion Chaperone Function of the Soluble Cu(I) Receptor Atx1

R. A. Pufahl, C. P. Singer, K. L. Peariso, S.-J. Lin, P. J. Schmidt, C. J. Fahrni, V. Cizewski Culotta, J. E. Penner-Hahn, T. V. O'Halloran *

Reactive and potentially toxic cofactors such as copper ions are imported into eukaryotic cells and incorporated into target proteins by unknown mechanisms. Atx1, a prototypical copper chaperone protein from yeast, has now been shown to act as a soluble cytoplasmic copper(I) receptor that can adopt either a two- or three-coordinate metal center in the active site. Atx1 also associated directly with the Atx1-like cytosolic domains of Ccc2, a vesicular protein defined in genetic studies as a member of the copper-trafficking pathway. The unusual structure and dynamics of Atx1 suggest a copper exchange function for this protein and related domains in the Menkes and Wilson disease proteins.
