Biochemical and immunochemical characterization of Caenorhabditis elegans metallothioneins I and II induced by cadmium.

Metallothioneins in Caenorhabditis elegans (CeMT-I and II) were purified by the combination of gel filtration, ion-exchange chromatography, and high-performance liquid chromatography. Amino acid compositions and amino-terminal sequences of CeMT-I and II were slightly different from those of vertebrate MTs previously reported, although cysteine residue contents were relatively high. Enzyme immunoassay using anti-CeMT-II antibody showed the difference of antigenicity to rat MT-I and II and even to CeMT-I. Immunohistochemical staining revealed the existence of CeMT-II in the intestine and the eggs, suggesting the role of MT in detoxification and homeostasis of heavy metals.[1]
