Function and Autoregulation of Yeast Copperthionein

The CUP1 gene of yeast encodes a small, metallothionein-like protein that binds to and is inducible by copper. A gene replacement experiment shows that this protein protects cells against copper poisoning but is dispensable for normal cellular growth and development throughout the yeast life cycle....
