Journal ArticleDOI

Iron-Export Ferroxidase Activity of β-Amyloid Precursor Protein Is Inhibited by Zinc in Alzheimer's Disease

TL;DR: This article found that the AD β-amyloid protein precursor possesses ferroxidase activity mediated by a conserved H-ferritin-like active site, which is inhibited specifically by endogenous Zn(2+)-laden amyloid aggregates and correlates with Aβ burden.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting copper in cancer therapy: ‘Copper That Cancer’

TL;DR: The biological importance of copper and copper homeostasis in mammalian cells is outlined, followed by a discussion of the current understanding of copper dysregulation in cancer, and the recent therapeutic advances using copper coordination complexes as anticancer agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Copper-regulated trafficking of the Menkes disease copper ATPase is associated with formation of a phosphorylated catalytic intermediate.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the copper-induced trafficking of the Menkes and Wilson disease copper ATPases is associated with the phosphorylated intermediate that is formed during the catalysis of these pumps.
Journal ArticleDOI

ATP7B Mediates Vesicular Sequestration of Copper: Insight Into Biliary Copper Excretion

TL;DR: It is provided compelling evidence that the primary mechanism of biliary copper excretion involves ATP7B-mediated vesicular sequestration of copper rather than direct copper translocation across the canalicular membrane.
