HPLC characterization of Ag+ and Cu+ metal exchange reactions with Zn- and Cd-metallothioneins

H Li et al. Biochemistry. 1996.

Abstract

Anion exchange HPLC methods were developed to study the metal exchange reactions of ZnMT and CdMT with Ag+ and Cu+. The kinetics of these reactions revealed the existence of a slow interprotein metal redistribution process that follows initial rapid displacement of metal from Zn7MT or Cd7MT by Ag+ or Cu+. Kinetically-favored products of the reaction of Ag+ with Zn7MT in the presence of Chelex resin include Zn4Ag6MT and Ag12MT. Subsequent slow reaction between Zn7MT and Ag12MT leads to the thermodynamically-favored product, Zn4Ag6MT. Analogous behavior was observed for Cd7MT titrated with Ag+ and Zn7MT with Cu+. The use of Chelex resin to remove unbound metal ions was found to influence the reactions of Zn7MT and Cd7MT with Ag+. Upon addition of Ag+ to Zn7MT in the absence of Chelex, a Ag18MT species forms as the kinetically-favored product in addition to Zn4Ag6MT and Ag12MT. Subsequently, Ag18MT was found to donate Ag+ to Zn7MT and Zn4Ag6MT via slow interprotein metal exchange reactions. Chelex resin influences the titration reaction either by limiting formation of Ag18MT and/or by binding the positively charged Ag18MT species and removing it from solution. The formation of Ag18MT in the absence of Chelex explains why more than 12 equiv of Ag+ is required to displace all of the Zn2+ or Cd2+ from Zn7MT and Cd7MT. The HPLC methods developed in this study allow homogeneous preparations to be made of metal-hybrid MT species containing Ag+ in the beta-domain and Cd2+ or Zn2+ in the alpha-domain.
