Metallothionein 1E Activators
Metallothionein 1E Activators are primarily metal ions which bind to the Metallothionein 1E (MT1E) protein and enhance its activity. The binding of these ions to MT1E can lead to conformational changes that are necessary for the protein to carry out its functions effectively. The metal ions listed above, such as zinc, cadmium, copper, selenium, arsenic, nickel, lead, bismuth, silver, mercury, gold, and aluminum, can all bind to MT1E and serve as activators.
The molecular functionality of these activators largely depends on their ability to bind to MT1E and facilitate its activity. For example, Zinc Chloride, Cadmium Chloride, and Copper(II) sulfate bind to MT1E as metal ions, which stimulate the protein and enhance its functional activity. Similarly, Selenium Dioxide, Arsenic Trioxide, and Nickel(II) chloride can bind to MT1E, enhancing its activity. Other metal ions like Lead(II) nitrate, Bismuth(III) nitrate, Silver Nitrate, Mercury(II) chloride, Gold(III) Chloride, and Aluminum chloride also interact with MT1E in a similar manner, serving as activators of this protein by offering metal ions for binding.
