ZinT protein domain
In molecular biology, ZinT protein domain which was formerly known as YodA, refers to a member of a family of prokaryotic domains. This protein family was first thought to be part of the bacterial response to a toxic heavy metal cadmium by binding to the metal to ensure its elimination. However, more recent studies have opposed this hypothesis. This protein domain is found exclusively in bacteria.
==Function==
The precise function of this protein domain remains unknown. It was originally found in the bacterial stress response to cadmium. Further studies have found that it binds to cadmium, zinc, nickel,〔 and mercury, but not other common metals such as cobalt, copper, iron, and manganese. It has been thought to be part of the bacterial stress response since ZinT expression has been found to be induced by cadmium, and more recently, hydrogen peroxide and then is localised to the cytoplasm.
